Pros

Pay is competitive , there are some great employees not in management.

Cons

The work environment at the corporate office is very toxic. No laughter. CEO thinks he is better than you. Turn over rate is very high! if people don't quit they are fired.

I'm so disappointed to read these comments. And would really love to know more about what feels "toxic" to you. My door is always open. I would welcome hearing directly from you, not only about the concerns you have but your solutions, ideas and suggestions to make us better. We just recently held a meeting with the entire team to review what we learned from our formal surveys and everyone was offered an opportunity to give feedback. We know it's often hard to give feedback in a large group, yet there were also opportunities for individual, confidential suggestions after the meeting. I would continue to offer that opportunity and will always make time to visit directly with you so that it becomes possible for us to work together on solutions. Also know that these comments are shared with leadership and discussed. They are taken seriously. Thanks for feedback. We will continue to improve our focus on the work experience for all of us.

Pros

Mission - never doubt the power of the mission of WesleyLife. The story is steadfast and true. There are many dedicated employees who keep their heads down and work tirelessly to support their teams and residents.

Cons

The CEO needs to go. He has driven good people away, disparages them the minute they leave and replaces them with “yes men”. Anyone who speaks up or asks questions are quickly exited. When will the board recognize the turnover stems from his poor leadership. How many have left the corporate headquarters this year? Too many!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We respectfully disagree with your assessment of our senior leaders and are quite proud of the work each of them contributes to the success of our organization, especially the CEO. The passion, integrity and commitment each has to our WesleyLife mission is extremely strong and they are here because of the purpose of the organization as well as their individual connection to it. They are each strong, faith-based leaders who love the organization and appreciate the impact they can have within it. To say anything other than that would simply be untrue and unfair. Our CEO and his direct reports are not about title or individual recognition, but rather are all about advancing the mission and ministry of our organization. There is a diverse background of talent and experience on the team as well as great pride in our ability to engage in healthy debate to reach the right decisions for the organization. Even as a faith-rooted organization, we must make difficult people decisions to ensure we have the right people in the right seats to do the work we want to do on behalf of the people we serve. That's what great organizations do and those decisions are not taken lightly. Each time we hire a new leader, we are looking to enhance the skills and the talent of our team. We cannot continue to advance our mission without continually improving so that we make our organization a great one. We do agree with you on the power of our mission and the dedicated team members we are blessed to have the opportunity to serve alongside. WesleyLife has stayed steadfast and has been incredibly successful as a non-profit senior living organization, and that will continue even as we navigate challenging situations.

Thank you for recognizing our mission and vision. They form the foundation of everything we are as an organization, and we are grateful to those who help us fulfill them. Thank you for the time you gave to WesleyLife. Honesty and ethics are two critical tenets on which our foundation is built. When you charge us with being dishonest and unethical, those accusations cut deep, and we want and need to address them. We ask that you contact Joeilynn Leonhardt, Senior Director of People and Culture, at your earliest convenience to discuss the issues or incidents to which you are referring so that we may take necessary steps toward resolution. Her contact information is jleonhardt@wesleylife.org / (515) 271-6797. Thank you.
