Pros

Because of the residents ! Close to my home. Stable company.

Cons

If management has little to do with the employees themselves, don't intermingle in their daily routines, ask questions, show interest in the employee, praise for a job well done, the employees feel unappreciated and non existent. If the only purpose of management is to ridicule, write up, reprimand, or terminate the employee-the employee will feel they are walking on eggshells in their job, scared they will be the next one to go, which does not make a happy employee, will make the employee seek employment elsewhere. The best company in LTC i ever worked for had the administrator, the director of nursing making rounds of the whole building everyday, YES, everyday. The administrator, would take the time to talk to the residents, and the staff, his words? "Good morning ______, is everything going okay today? Do you need anything?" These few simple words show teamwork, caring, and interest.

Cons

Management - violate HIPPA in regards to background checks of caregivers. Numerous times caregivers are laughed at and made fun of. Several instances where management in staff meetings belittle and make fun of how GS is manipulating caregivers at the lowest pay to take shifts or they threaten their job is at stake. Management engage with staff gossip of other staff and violate HIPPA of several employees with disabilities and share with others staff special arrangements. HR - violate HIPPA by sharing personal detailed information regarding caregivers disabilities and background checks to management. Management have been overheard laughing at caregivers who have come back with disabilities or background check results and shared in staff meetings HIPPA protected information with all. Management have withheld pay and try to get away with not paying caregivers hours worked to save on budget. Tell them they can't be paid if they did not log in, despite them working the hours or having difficulty signing in. Management accepting gifts from clients and allowing other staff to take gifts from clients despite it being against policy and a manipulation towards client trust. Threats from management and abuse of power when staff whistleblow to clients what is going on or when staff share with upper management. It is always best to record to protect onself due to retaliation based on lies.
