Pros

At Venterra, it is better living for residents, it’s appreciated. Residents become family and even with the good and the bad, our hard work is appreciated and residents do love us for it. Celebrations are big with Venterra - birthdays, anniversaries, appreciation days, you’ll never go hungry at a Venterra community. I love that you get a day off for your birthday, reduced rent as an employee that lives on site, great bonuses. My manager was amazing. She cared for her staff and went above and beyond to get all that she could for us as her team. Loved it!

Cons

Residents and prospect safety comes before staff unfortunately. We pretty much have to lay down for whatever they ask for or need. Venterra is all about numbers and getting guest cards done. Those come first and the system comes off as pushy, aggressive and bothersome. Venterra tries to Murrow Chick Fil A’s purpose and mission and that is a fail unfortunately. In the case of my office staff, where our community is in the process of being sold, immediately you’re treated less than. Venterra’s actions towards you completely change. You’re treated like a stepchild before you even depart from the company. It’s so sad. Communication with recruiting is very bad, even when you express your passion to move forward with the company and possibly stay with them. Very fake.

We appreciate you taking the time to share the feedback. It’s great to know that you enjoyed our perks and people-first approach to business and that you had a great team leader during your time on the team, but I’m sorry to read about some of the negative takeaways. It’s important that our Core Values are genuinely informing the decisions we make, and that includes prioritizing the experience for each of our team members. Our goal is for all Venterra leaders to take a servant leadership approach by working to have an understanding of their team members’ passions and empowering them to grow as professionals and as individuals, regardless of where they are in their journey with us. It sounds like we fell short of this standard from your perspective, so I’d like an opportunity to connect for a few more insights. If you’re open to a conversation, please reach out to me by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com) at your convenience. Thank you again for providing the review here.

Pros

The employees are amazing. All of our properties, in my area, work as a team and help each other out. I have had opportunities with Venterra that I never had with other companies. I have had the privilege to work in other departments, like the acquisition team, so broaden my knowledge and understanding of the process.

Cons

The employee experience use to be Venterra's number 1 priority, but recently, employee experience has taken a backseat to the bottom line. Decisions are made at the corporate level that deeply impact the onsite team, with no insight from the team members it will be affecting. There has become a disconnect from off-site (corporate) and onsite. The numbers are beginning to mean more than the people. This is in direct contradiction to the company that I have known for years.

Thanks so much for reflecting on your time with us and sharing the feedback. It’s great to know that your time with us has included a great team dynamic, an opportunity to expand your horizons, and that you’ve appreciated our focus on prioritizing our team members. While we’re certainly excited to be growing, it’s critical that we maintain our people-first company culture, so it’s difficult to hear you feel like this is something you’ve seen change recently. Our long-term approach to success requires us to continue our dedication to creating an amazing experience for every individual on our team. This means ensuring they have a voice, feel empowered to use it, and know that it’s heard. While resources like our annual leadership survey, our new Innspire Innovation Hub, and pilot programs to test initiatives before rollout, are intended to help make this a reality, we’re always open to ideas on how we can further improve in this area, and others. Given the feedback you’ve provided, I’d encourage you to reach out to me directly to discuss in a bit more detail. For your personal experience and for the experience of others at Venterra, I’d love a chance to gain better understanding of your observations and have a chance to turn things around. If you’re open to a dialogue, please contact me by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com) when you have an opportunity. Thank you again for the review and in advance for any additional conversation.
