Pros

It's the frst job I've had (working for decades) where I really felt permission to stop and listen to someone. That's part of your job here. I appreciate that. The residents come first. I have always liked reaching out to people who seemed to be marginalized in any particular social situation, whether children or those with disabilities, foreigners or seniors. It is very rewarding to acknowledge and include people.

Cons

If I don't watch out, I can stay overtime. Sometimes, it's hard to walk away from unfinished tasks until the next day. But i'm getting better at that balance.

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.

Pros

I love working with the residents and feeling as though I make a positive difference in their daily lives. My job is satisfying in a way that cannot be found in many other jobs. Helping others is very rewarding.

Cons

Upper management is very closeminded and doesn't listen to the ideas and opinions of the 'little people'. There is a very strong impression that employees are to keep their mouths closed and do and they say without questions. They have created a work enviornment that is highly stressful and disruptive to both residents and workers.
