Pros

Nice people to work with

Cons

Cult like atmosphere. Never received my mileage reimbursement and when I quit I was never payed my vacation hours and I received a payment for my apartment that I cleaned only for them to stop payment 3 days later. I also noticed a lot of bigotry in this company

We appreciate you taking the time to provide the review, and I’m glad that you enjoyed the company of the individuals on your team, but I’m sorry to read about your negative takeaways with us. It’s our aim to create an amazing employee experience, so we’re not accustomed to seeing too many reviews like yours, and I want to be sure to fully address your concerns. While the exact circumstances are different for every individual who parts ways with us, we’ve established clear cut policies when it comes to handling things like vacation time, employee rent discounts, and mileage reimbursement to help prevent conflicts and misunderstandings. We’re more than happy to investigate the specifics surrounding your departure and make right any errors that might have occurred at that time. You also noted seeing bigotry during your time with us, and that’s something we unequivocally won’t tolerate on our teams. Although we’ve partnered with the third-party provider EthicsPoint to allow employees a safe way to anonymously report incidents or concerns they might not be comfortable discussing one-on-one with a manager, we know every system has its limitations, and understand the possibility of incidents deserving of immediate action not coming to our attention. To that end, I’d like to encourage you to reach out to me to discuss this as well as your concerns from the time of your resignation in more detail. Please reach out to me directly by phone (905-717-8264) or email (rroos@venterraliving.com) as soon as you have an opportunity. Again, thank you for providing the review and in advance for any future conversations regarding your concerns.

Pros

Venterra makes it a FUN place to work. We are always having a contest of some sort and I feel that it keeps it fun. Venterra also trains you to succeed and gives you the tools you need to do your job. We also promote from within and I feel that is something people look for.

Cons

A downside in our area is that we as a region have only 6 communities vs. 12+ we had at one point, but on a positive note, we are all close just like a family.

Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback here. I’m glad that you’ve seen us making good on our Leader Promises like “making time to have fun” and “striving to promote from within” during your years on the team. We agree that elements like these are critical for any organization interested in being a “world-class company,” so you won’t be seeing the approach change anytime soon! While our Acquisitions Team is constantly looking at opportunities for portfolio expansion into both new regions and those where we already have a presence, the nature of our industry does sometimes require us making the often difficult decision to sell a community. That said, we absolutely understand that we couldn’t be where we are today without the loyalty and dedication of the individuals on our teams, so when a sale does happen we make an effort to retain impacted employees by placing them elsewhere whenever possible. Please keep the feedback coming, and speak up if you have any suggestions at all for company improvements in the future! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts here.

Thank you for the feedback on your experience on the Venterra team. It’s great to hear that your time with us was positive overall. Our goal is to create great experiences for our residents and employees alike, and creating consistency and a sense of organizational unity is definitely part of making that happen. Although things like company get-togethers and social networks go a long way towards this goal, we know it can still be a challenge for our communities who don’t have any nearby sister properties. If you have any specific suggestions on ways you think we could improve in this area please feel free to reach out to me to discuss. Thanks again for taking the time to provide the review here!
