Pros – The growth Opportunities are tremendous-still a relatively "young" company.
The company has an impeccable reputation, and is about being the best.
It is a company that thrives on best practices, and listening to the "front lines"
Very bright, progressive and sensible leadership.
No bureaucracy - a very flat organization, leadership very accessible and visible.
You are given a lot of autonomy, and the ability to "own" your operation and your business results.

Cons – As a small company, it can be challenging from a support perspective; you have to have a lot of initiative and be able to wear many hats at a local level - especially for human resources, performance management and training. But the tools are all there for you.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't lose the "smallness" of the company, the entrepreneurial spirit, and listening to the front line staff, while we grow and prosper.

Pros – I joined Aegis of Aptos 11 years ago and I can't say enough about how much I am enjoying working for Aegis. I have a big family now with co-workers, residents and families, that complete the meaning of having a good life. Aegis employees have the opportunity to make a real difference in the world.
I started working at Aegis as a caregiver, and my devotion, enthusiasm, responsibility and knowledge were recognized all the time. Now as a manager I understand how important is to recognize and reward a job well done and to understand each individual's needs and strengths.
Nothing can be compared with the pleasure of working in the right place, feeling happy to come to work, knowing that your effort will always be recognized and at the end of your day, you go home knowing that you made a difference in someone's life.
Visitors and vendors tell us that when they walk in the building, they can feel the warm and sense of family immediately.

Cons – If you are not commited to provide the best of you for your residents, families and co-workers, this is not the right place for you.

Current Employee – been working at Aegis Living

Pros – Even though I was a new and "temporary" employee I was welcomed as a part of the team, encouraged and invited to participate in all company-wide events and generally made to feel like I was as important to the overall mission of the company as the CEO or SVP.

Cons – The flip side of such unequivocal inclusion is needing to quickly master the core values and mission message(s) of the company to the outside world.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to include, encourage, and share individual successes as successes for everyone.

Pros – Access to senior executives. In expansion & growth mode. Always pushing the envelope and challenging everyone to excel.

Cons – Internally competitive with some politics. Need to be a workaholic. Difficult to get work/personal life balance here. Once you succeed, the company asks for more.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest more resources in effective training. Need systems that allow flexibility. Help key employees and managers achieve balance.

Pros – Aegis provides a great opportunity to grow with the company while helping others in need. I have worked for Aegis for over 5 years now, and don't see myself anywhere else.

Cons – Working with frail elderly can take a toll on anyone. Death is a part of this job, and it is very difficult getting to know some incredible people only to see them become more frail and pass away.

Advice to Senior Management – I think it would be a great advantage to the staff to have more training on how to deal with the passing of our residents.
