Lots of holiday time off

Cons

Leaders who have the emotional quotient of a junior high student. Regional Maintenance Supervisors who abuse their power. If you’ll be Lead around by the nose and partake this company’s for you.

While we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on your time with us, I’m definitely concerned about your feedback regarding the leaders you interacted with during your tenure. We have specific training and a number of initiatives focused on delivering exceptional employee experiences, but doing so absolutely requires leaders who are dedicated to the idea. I’m disappointed to read that that isn’t something you observed during your time on the team, and would love an opportunity to gather a bit more insight so we can take necessary actions to correct any ongoing issues. I’d like to encourage you to submit details to us anonymously through EthicsPoint (https://bit.ly/1NPNZHS) our reach out to me directly by phone (905-717-8264) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com), as soon as you have a free moment. Thank you again for sharing your experiences and, in advance, for helping to shed a bit more light on them.

Pros

Decent company. Offers health benefits,401k.

Cons

I agree with another review about Venterra losing alot of good employees. Venterra rather let a long term employee go instead of giving them a raise. The cost of training a new employee and hoping it works out is worth giving a long term employee a raise alone. Venterra feels that if you ask for a raise it's only a temporary fix and your not happy and your going to leave so they rather let you go. That's not the case most 90 percent of the time. If a employee invest years in a company especially a company that does not offer stock options like venterra all we want is to make sure we our compensated well enough and don't have to leave and look for a new job.

Thank you for providing the review. We’re glad that you’ve enjoyed a number of the benefits that we offer, but I did want to address the concerns you raise, as well. We understand that fair and competitive pay is a huge part of an overall positive employee experience, so we utilize tools including industry benchmarking and regular evaluations to dictate pay as employees start with us and grow within the organization. As you mention, there are countless benefits to retaining valuable employees while keeping turnover at a minimum, so it’s critical for us to offer pay that’s well-aligned with individual employee qualifications and skills. Having trained our Experience Leaders on this principle, we encourage those who feel their salary should be reviewed to have a conversation with their supervisor on the topic at any point. As these conversations should be open and transparent dialogues, they should also help clear up any confusion about what’s prompting them. If you feel a separate conversation needs to happen to cover this in more detail, please feel free to utilize EthicsPoint or reach out to myself directly to discuss. Thank you again for providing your feedback here.

While we appreciate you taking the time to share a review, I’m disappointed to hear that your takeaways from your time on the team were so negative. We aim to staff communities appropriately to meet prospect and resident needs and with individuals who have the skills and traits needed to thrive in a career with us. We’re not accustomed to seeing many reviews of this nature, so I’d really like to encourage you to provide a little more insight into your specific observations. Even as a former employee, you can anonymously submit concerns to us via EthicsPoint (https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/en/default_reporter.asp), and you’re more than welcome to connect with me directly by phone (905-717-8264) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com), if you’d prefer. Having a few additional details could help prevent our current or future employees from feeling the same way you have. Thank you again for the feedback and in advance for any additional information you might be able to provide.
