      I worked at Brookdale Senior Living part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The pay was comparatively high for the field of work

      Cons

      Upper management was constantly changing, in the 14 months that I worked there, they went through 3 different Directors. This left little accountability for other members of management. Also the care the residents received and the conditions of the facility itself were abysmal.

      Advice to Management

      Hire upper management that are going to stick around. That leadership role effects everything below it and if there is no one to hold various managers accountable for their jobs then there is also no one to hold the lower staff accountable as well.
