Pros

I love the work. I don't personally work for the paycheck, I work for the residents. Michelle is an amazing DON that will work on the floor as a CNA or nurse. I love how we all work together between therapy, nursing, dietary, and housekeeping. It's a great job that allows many opportunities to expand. They are always able to work on my schedule since I'm in school and can't work as much as I used to. Honestly, I don't see myself leaving the company anytime soon.

Cons

The biggest con is the fact that we are short staffed. But tell me what healthcare profession isn't short? We get a lot of people that act like they are interested but are just there for an easy paycheck but then they learn it's the complete opposite. Then they quit. Or people that leave because it's short but they don't understand that makes us more short. Also, it's tragic how many people have probably overlooked applying to our company because of all these negative posts. Most of these people were probably let go or quit because they were doing something they weren't supposed to or just wasn't doing their job at all. I love this job and I love the people and I wouldn't change it for the world.
