Pros

Some coworkers. Mostly just the residents.

Cons

Stressful. VERY rude nurses. Talk to you like you're 5 years old... SO. MUCH. DRAMA. Personal lives brought into the building wayyyy too much! Pay sucks. $9/hr as a CNA? I don't think so... Hours suck. Management changes your schedule and doesn't ask if you want it. Just tells you. Keep employees that are constantly complained about for not doing there job or for being rude, simply because they can't afford to lose staff. Get treated like a freaking 5 year old. Hard to talk to managent about anything. Nurses are mean to residents. Not just CNA's. Barely any teamwork. No appreciation. Etc, etc, etc.

Pros

Patients/residents. They are what I miss the most, really about the only thing that I miss.

Cons

People with little experience or education are put into positions of authority and lack the talent and tact to make it successful. This company burns through good and fantastic employees and tosses them aside. In 2 years the building I worked in went through 3 administrators alone. Management at buildings are not knowledgeable enough in each department to know what's really going on. Company employs regional staff members that staff at the building have a "dotted line" reporting structure. Each department is so focused on their own goals and how things impact them that they lose sight of trying to build a cohesive working environment. Different standards for different employees. I would daily hear comments from Regional staff about not completing a certain task is considered a "terminable offense", but then when duties shifted in my department, those same tasks all of a sudden became "not really important and necessary to do". Regional staff would degrade staff and treatment can only be classified as abuse. When reported to HR I received comments such as "they are working with regional staff member on her people skills" and they are "training her how to speak to staff". Really? and this is who you have a regional "expert" and this is who the building administrators rely on providing them details? I stuck it out for over two years before finally realizing that I was better than that and could do so much better and I did. Believe it or not, there are actually really good skilled nursing facilities out there that actually care about their staff and administrators who want to learn what really happens in their building and people who actually work together towards a common goal and it's amazing that when you are treated with respect and dignity that you actually care about what you do and love going to work each day.

Pros

None! Awful place to work. The managers are terrible, they never do any of their own work, instead spend their days micromanaging others. They also love to pass the blame when they overlook something.

Cons

Awful patient care. I am not a nurse or CNA but have seen patients ask to go to the bathroom and are not taken, when they say they have had an accident, they are left to sit in wet or soiled clothes for hours before being changed. Pay is bad. Facilities are dirty. Patients and medicare are being charged for services they are not receiving.
