Pros
The focus is on the residents of the facility. I would put a loved one there if the need arose, as have many of my co-workers. I think that says alot. I wouldn't want to work somewhere that I wouldn't trust my own mother to be taken care of. The pay rate is fair. We are unionized.
Cons
I don't think we get enough praise for the good job we do. I also think our benefit package leaves something to be desired. Who can afford to pay $1000 out of their pocket every year and then 30% after that? Not the average single parent family. I also believe that management forgets that the reason that our residents are so well taken care of is the front line of the nusing facility and when you don't try to make your employees happy or at least work together then the quality of our work seems to diminish because of the discontent.
