Sous Chef And The Love For Independence Village of Plymouth

Sous chef

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked for this Community for little over a year. This is an excellent place to grow as a chef while gaining friendships and new family members :) The growth that is expected and the encouragement I receive tells me this company truly cares about my well being and performance. There is room to have a family and still have a life outside of work, but when I am working it isn't work I get to share my days with the most precious families and individuals here at Independence Village. We have an amazing team and continue to grow as a whole and as individuals because our leaders have set the bar high.

Cons

The hours are right in the midst of the day, with a child at home this is sometimes tricky.

Culinary Arts in senior living? Absolutely true at Independence Village!

Executive chef

Business Outlook

Pros

Our philosophy is simple-great food, ridiculously great service, every meal, every resident, no exceptions, no excuses. We use fresh ingredients and fresh not frozen proteins. We create menus weekly and are limited only by lack of imagination. We think outside the box to compose beautiful meals that not only taste great and meet our residents nutritional needs but also push us to become immersed in our craft-culinary arts. We are supported in our quest to be the best in senior living by dedicated, hospitality driven professional chefs. The support and vision is truly inspiring!

Cons

The relationships we build with our residents is one of the keys to our success and growth as culinary professionals. In senior living It can be tough when these relationships come to a sudden end.
