    Aegis Living gave me a chance

    Apr 25, 2023 - Life Enrichment Director in Carmichael, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    When I applied to Aegis in 2020 for a life enrichment assistant position, in the midst of COVID, I thought I didn't stand a chance. I had limited experience in senior living and had never worked in life enrichment, but all of a sudden I had found my purpose and really wanted to work in this industry. Aegis gave me a chance and I was able to work and study for my AA at the same time, learning and applying my knowledge. Within 6 months I was offered the Director's position and I was and am so grateful for the opportunity. Aegis is very supportive of personal and professional growth and advancement. While providing support and tools to learn and become a better leader, I have also received mentorship from life enrichment directors in other communities which really has helped me to grow and feel supported in my role and my career.

    Cons

    There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes of a life enrichment director, and most of it is related to building and maintaining relationships with residents, families, friends and other staff. I think that you can never go wrong with more training, more team building and more acknowledgement.

    This is not the CULTURE DWAYNE HAS THOUGHT

    May 22, 2023 - Care Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The residents are lovely. I love helping them.

    Cons

    Management is horrible. The new DOO they have hired is a horrible person, She has fired so many good people and people that have worked here for a long time have left because of her. I would love for the big bosses to come and see how un happy we are as EMPLOYEES. All she cares about is making herself look good. On another hand, What company makes an employee take their lunch at the 2nd hour we have started our shifts. We are unable to take 2 -10 mins because we are always under staffed. We are scared to say anything because we are worried we are going to loose our job that helps us bring food to our family table.

    Enjoyed my time as Concierge!

    Apr 8, 2023 - Concierge in Redmond, WA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I'm putting in a good word for the General Manager at Marymoor. I had to leave after a short stint as Concierge and she treated me with utmost respect in spite of this. During my time there, she was very helpful in training me on the finer points of doing a good job and dealing with certain situations. She made an extra effort often, which made my job easier. Other great staffers included the Office Manager and fellow Concierge folks...I could see myself being friends with all of them...they work hard and they give hugs too! Thanks, Aegis!

    Cons

    I wish the salary would be a little higher as this work is very personal and takes a while to learn the finer points of working with the Residents. I think the benefits are good however and free meals are mostly excellent.

    Home Away From Home

    Apr 13, 2023 - Health Services Director in Napa, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The CEO and the Upper Management at the Home Office can be easily reached and are helpful with our needed resources in our community. Our General Manager at Aegis of Napa guides us in our respective departments. He makes sure that we address issues of employees, residents, and families. He is a great leader with a big heart to everyone.

    Cons

    Aegis of Napa is an hour and a half drive from home. I am a bit concerned with distance. I get offers from other companies which are closer to home. However, it is hard to leave Aegis because of good leadership that we have.

    Pros

    Wheather you are an employee or a resident here, you are cared for. Every job has it issues but at least I know that at Aegis we will work to try to come to an understanding and do whats right for all involved. The Pay is what it is, but I have been given significant bumps up over just a couple years. So work hard, love hard and be rewarded. Very much like family.

    Cons

    Pay could be better, but thats most jobs latley

    Great Career Opportunites

    Mar 20, 2023 - Marketing Director in Corte Madera, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Relaxed and fun working environment. Company cares about employees and regularly offers perks such as bagels and snacks for meetings. Meals for $1 GM has open door policy and listens to comments or concerns. Family and Resident satisfaction is high. This is evidenced by the number of family referrals we receive.

    Cons

    Taking care of seniors with mobility and cognitive challenges is hard work. Location is difficult to get to as there is not public transportation. Wages should reflect that. Pay increase for hourly employees. Need to be more competitive with pay.
