Pros

Company has great standards of care for seniors, serves excellent food, great nursing staff, and has full time options with insurance. Many people there, including the head administrator of the time of this review, are caring, wonderful people.

Cons

Some lower administrative staffing is poor quality and unprofessional, staff back stabs and talks dirt about everyone, some supervisors are atrocious. Unfortunately, my experience here was of very poor quality. Within a month my supervisor was singling me out, treating other employees with favor, and borderline harassment. Examples: Berating me over the phone for ten minutes off duty, frequent snide/rude comments, unprofessional way of handling mistakes, anger management, and over all poor quality treatment. My supervisor is a horrible manager, arrogant, controlling and discourages those who work with them instead of encouraging them to be better employees. Enjoys hearing what he wants instead of what you are saying. It was a very personal attack due to his dislike of me. Despite multiple attempts to work out the differences, I was ultimately set up to fail. My supervisor made no attempt to have a better working relationship with me. As long as you do not work for the recreation/house keeping/administrative department, this location is wonderful to work for. (Yes, your left with CNA/Nursing/Kitchen staff) I love the residents, and had many good working relationships here. My review is based purely on the department I worked for. Until that is sorted out - I do not recommend working for these departments.

Pros

There are no pros that I can think of.

Cons

High staff turn over. Management fires an average of 10-15 care staff a year. Its all for profit and severely understaffed, not enough caregivers for Dementia residents that requires more care and attention.
