Sweet residents can't overshadow poor management and work-life balance

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The residents and families are sweet

Cons

There is nothing good about this company anymore! No one wants to work here anymore! My whole building is looking for other jobs. No work life balance, upper management is horrible and doesn’t care about anyone but themselves! The ED is rude and incompetent. So many negatives with Sunrise. If this review gets buried, look at most recent reviews instead of popular!
