ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS...WATCH OUT - Executive Director Commonwealth Senior Living Employee Review

Pros

Very attractive set of "Core Values", Mission, and "Noble Selling Purpose" to set them aside as a 'different' Senior Living company - if they TRULY believed in and conducted their affairs by these standards (as they preach they do), it would be amazing. But WATCH OUT, believe what you hear, because they DON'T.

Cons

Long Story Made Short: They'll almost desperately shout from the rooftops about being 'different' with their "Core Values", which they claim were taken from actually "listening" to their employees; they'll promise you a $50K longevity bonus for staying with them 5 years - BUT WATCH OUT. They ARE 'different' - in that they are the WORST company you will EVER work for; highly political with many occult agendas and just waiting to prey on those with good hearts who "believe" in them. I've never, in my 20 years in this industry, experienced such an exploitative company, seeking to reap financially off the backs of those who would work their backs broken to be a part of something that preaches "kindess", "We Care, We do the right thing", "We Listen, we love, we care, we Serve", only to run their employees dry, emotionally and physically, and then stand on their mountain of falsehoods claiming "honesty" and "respectfulness". Senior Management, no matter HOW genuine they may seem, WILL lie to your face. I should have listened to past employees. I hope someone might listen to me....

Pros

Good benefits, clean building, easy hiring process.

Cons

Management could care less what was going on. I was so excited to start here and really looking forward to this job. I quickly realized during my training that everyone was in the “clique” and if you weren’t in the “clique” they wanted you out so that they could get someone that they knew hired. It seemed like everyone was related to everyone in someway or another whether you were a CNA, custodian, kitchen staff. They played favorites. I watched a CNA get a $4000 bonus right at Christmas to go towards a down payment for a car. This gift was given to her by a residents family. We were told in training we were not to accept gifts whatsoever from families. But nobody did anything. I got fired for being sick one day but yet I watched somebody show up hours late on Christmas after I missed Christmas with my kids to work short staffed. All in all an awful place to work. Management needs to do better.
