Current Employee – been working at Ensign Group full-time for more than a year

Pros – regular staff is wonderful generally speaking.
Only positive thing I can think of working for this company Ensign Group

Cons – Poor pay
Department head expected to work on salary and work a lot of over time which is they are luck would work out to less minimum wage per a hour
Have board of shame which I find degrading to emplyees, be sure not to make any mistakes or you will be on the board of shame.
Have a employee of the month and the staff usually decided who they are going to choose and then everyone votes for that person.
Have to many meetings for the amount of work they expect of you.
Administrator does not check out things before accusing someone of doing something and then never apologizes for the mistake

Advice to Senior Management – Learn more about skilled nursing homes and medical issues
Research situations before accusing some one of misbehavior or not completing task.

Former Employee – worked at Ensign Group

Pros – Depends on location, a lot varies on individual management. The faciliy level is much different than the corporate level.

Cons – This is a boys club. Performance is very important but secondary to who you know and how you know them.

Former Employee – worked at Ensign Group

Pros – Great potential to make a difference. Some really wonderful residents. Learned a lot but not from staff or department heads.

Cons – Horrible new management provided zero support for staff and has a terrible attitude. Administrator makes it apparent he does not care about staff. No organization from department heads. Residents seem to be misplaced. A few co-workers are not team players don't do their jobs or pass it along for next shift. Good employees are not recongized for their performance. Less effective employees seem to be praised and promoted. Absolutely ridiculous

Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention to your employees they are the eyes and ears of the company! If they're telling you something L-I-S-T-E-N to them! Be appreciative for good staff. They are the reason you have any residents in the building not you!
