Best work experience of my life

Certified nurse aide (cna)

Business Outlook

Pros

Work culture where staff is genuinely dedicated to the residents. Good pay, excellent benefits. Administrative support. Plenty of supplies to do my job! I was a travel CNA with Good Sam, so worked in many of their facilities across the Midwest. Their values and standards were consistently high. Staff was consistently welcoming and kind.

Cons

No real cons. Most of their building are getting older and could use some updates. Some facilities are cramped because of this. (Narrow bathroom doors, smaller rooms.)
