        Approves of CEO

        I have been working at Brookdale Senior Living full-time

        Pros

        A clear mission and a plan to achieve it. My Executive Director is one of the best bosses I’ve had.

        Cons

        In sales, it’s always based on the move ins. Which makes perfect sense.

        Advice to Management

        Thank you for caring about my success with Brookdale

        Neutral Outlook
        Disapproves of CEO

        I worked at Brookdale Senior Living full-time for more than 2 years

        Pros

        The Seattle office had great leadership (no longer there) and they really cared about their employees. They showed this by putting a lot of effort into team-building, career development opportunities, and employee engagement. They also fought hard to give their staff as much work-life balance that was feasible.

        Cons

        Benefits were decent, but could have been better. The offices in other locations didn't feel tied in to the corporate office. There was a notable lack of consistency and cohesion from office to office.

        Advice to Management

        Find something that will unite your workforce and make them feel like a part of something bigger and more impactful.

            Advice to Management

            None except for increasing pay but this company is phenomenal. As big as they are, you feel like this is a small family.

            The residents are great! The staff cares and takes great care of the residents. The Leadership Team has had some great changes recently. Both communities are clean and are wonderful places for your loved ones to live.

            Cons

            Not as up to date as brand new communities, but gives the best care around.
