Where to begin? The pay is low, the benefits are almost non existent and expensive and the training is simply minimal at best. Upper management, if you have any, is not supportive, The home office is so detached from the reality of what goes on in the community, micromanaging is heavy but true leadership is completely lacking. You will feel like you are under a gag order to say anything to enlighten the home office or if you, God forbid, need help or have a question about the job. The job description, if you are even given one when interviewing, is deceptively light compared to the actual job requirements. Many mixed messages are sent. You are not given any management benefits at all but you are required to work as manager on duty on the weekends about every six weeks, will be required to attend every special event, work rotating holidays, and must use your PTO to take any holidays off. The hard workers are taken advantage of, the poor workers are rarely held accountable for anything. And the worst of it is, the residents are the ones to suffer from the enormous turnover and shortage of professional care.
