Pros
Aegis is a rare company that really listens to what people want and people need. They do very much care about their employees. They show this everyday, with programs like $1 meals, Big Dream Vaca, who has a lotto for their staff? They are the best in senior housing, no one comes close.
Cons
It is a 24 / 7 , people you love pass away. Beginning salary could be better but if you are good you will advance quickly , if you aren’t , you pay will stay the same.
Advice to Management
Keep up what you are doing! Don’t get discouraged , you are one of the best !

Pros
Lovely residents, friendly environment, decent benefits, and emotionally rewarding. The food is usually good considering how many people the chef has to cook for. It's fast paced and hectic at times but I prefer that to sitting in boredom and watching the clock.
Cons
Not enough training, unprofessional staff, and low pay. Coworkers and managers alike gossip. I assume that the staff badmouths me when I'm out of the room which is very stressful.
Advice to Management
More training

I worked at Aegis Living part-time (More than a year)
Pros
$1 meal tickets available for employees
Cons
Management can do better about meeting staffing levels.
Having 2 care managers in one dept where a few residents are two person assists leaves other residents waiting and potentially with minimal care.
You don't realyy get breaks and thats the "norm"Advice to Management
Listen to the care managers. Theres a reason why there's a high turnover rate and often burnout. Don't guilt workers into taking more shifts.

Pros
Good temporary job if you are in school.
Work life balance is decent
Great patient environment if you're passionate about the medical field
Easy growth opportunity if you have an above average work ethic.
Good experience for entry levelCons
Horrible insurance "benefits"- $80 for dental a month with copays for everything and only up to 50% coverage. Medical is just as bad.
Pay is poor if you do care in any form despite being the one's who interact and take care of residents. Work load increases without compensation.
Empty promises from management regarding pay raises
Management interferes with resident care despite no medical training and the fact that it's the RN and care directors job to begin with.
Alot of blaming in my community even if you weren't on shift for an incident.
Lack of respect, gossip and pettiness amongst management.
Poor staff to resident ratio (1 care manager can take care of 20 residents)
Necessary breaks (staff member scolded or warned or told "just clock out for 30 and work") even if it interferes with resident safetyAegis Living 2019-03-13 00:45 PDT![Aegis Living Logo]()

Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEOI worked at Aegis Living part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Paid training's, inexpensive employee meals, the residents, good place to get work experience in assisted living and with dementia care.
Cons
Inexperienced undiplomatic supervisor. Nice that Aegis provides opportunities for promotion, perhaps a more training or support to do the job well would be good. Serious lack of commitment and follow through of management doing what they say they will do. Repeated employee write ups for things like turning lights down at night for the residents, reporting a resident’s bruise one day later, using a descriptive "bad" word in a private text message about another co-workers intimidating behavior. Write ups to the point of being pushed out, feeling like I had no choice but to quit if I wanted to keep my integrity intact. There is a strange, fake, corporate, mistrusting atmosphere about this work place; a culture of co-workers throwing each other under the bus, acting as eyes and ears to the supervisor, so you never know who you can trust. In the end this is not a place for a critical thinker, rather a yes, sir no sir employee.
Advice to Management
See the above & award employees unique contributions and use employee's strengths instead of having the same expectations from everyone. Also, paying more when asking employees to take on more duties and responsibility.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Aegis Living full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Paid training, lots of availability to work as many hours as you want, will hire with no experience, good way to break into the field.
Cons
I only worked here for a singular shift, and the treatment towards the residents was horrendous and baffling. The CNA who was training me treated the residents (memory care side) with such disrespect and hate, I couldn't stay. Pushing the residents, yelling when they didn't listen, pushing his forehead against a resident and using his bigger body to intimidate. This was my first CNA job (which they were fully aware of), and laughingly told me they wanted me to get the dentures out of a hostile resident's mouth who was known for biting, without any assistance. Just a bad environment that made me terribly sad for the seniors having to live there.
Advice to Management
Take the time to hire CNAs who will respect and care for the residents as if they were their own family. The people I interacted with were horrible to the residents and I would hate to be treated this way.

Pros
Great community feeling amongst staff, great care
Cons
Community Management has no objectivity. There’s favoritism, bullying and always looking to point the finger at lower level staff. Dishonesty and trying to hide problems instead of takeing responsibility that it’s their job to provide guidance and oversee.
Advice to Management
Be objective, and think for yourself and stand up for what’s right. Not what makes us look picture perfect. staff support by management is great by care director and a few others are the only ones my advice? Somebody from corporate needs to step in.
