Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is better than average Compensation is great, I was laid off and was given more than I thought I would for severance pay Round the clock shifts, made it easy to switch shifts with other co-workers. Great training, I never felt confused about what was expected of me

Cons

Sometimes seemed understaffed so we were given more work than we should have had.

More Concerned with BUDGET than Quality of Care/Life

Dietary aide

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Always have the option of shifts to pick up. Decent pay. Ability to cross train in departments. Benefits are reasonable.

Cons

Always understaffed, lack of cooperation from coworkers, unrealistic expectations of management, management more concerned with budget rather than quality of care, management is not knowledgeable of what is occurring in own departments. The resident care is severely lacking. The number of "good, caring" nurses and nursing assistants can NOT make up for the slack that the "poor" nurses and nursing assistants leave behind. Management
