Holiday Retirement Reviews

Pros

Not much could do better love it

Cons

Great place needs more Monday hot for the day

Advice to Management

None

Pros

Great talking to residents. Good PTO

Cons

Management changed hands several times in just 2 years.

Pros

The residents that lived there really made the job! Most of the staff was great too.

Cons

The pay was minimum wage and the shifts were only 2 and 1/2 hours and there was a 4-hour gap between lunch and dinner shifts so I was only making about $17-$20 per shift. If I wanted to work a lunch and dinner shift, I would either have to drive home and come back or sit there not being paid for 4 hours.

Pros

The esthetics of the office. Great co-workers.

Cons

ENORMOUS bonuses for the few upper exec's (Oregon people especially). No rewards or recognition for exemplary work. Many employees doing the job of 2 people for single person wages. 3-4% yearly raises while the upper echelon give themselves bonuses that you could buy a small home with. No growth, only change to a different department. Benefits for families are expensive. Long hours for many, and very high stress.... Last, but not least, Very High Turnover.

Pros

Amazing people to work with and extraordinary stories to hear from the residents

Cons

Not everybody understand the goal and mission of this company

Pros

I almost turned down an offer for Holiday based on negative reviews on Glassdoor.com. Fortunately, after some additional research and discussion with other Holiday team members, I took a leap of faith and and accepted a position as Sales Leader. It’s still early days but based on my experience so far, my only regret is that I didn’t make this move long ago. I am in awe of the training and support provided and am... confident I have found “The Best Place to Work” until the day I retire.

Cons

I’m struggling to think of ways the company can improve and all I can think of right now is to update the website, which I believe is in progress.

Pros

Great coworkers and residents, good compensation

Cons

When it comes to the leadership I experienced these words come to mind: Corrupt; dishonest; unprofessional; uncaring. Most leadership is thankful for employees with intelligence and initiative that want to contribute. This leadership is threatened by it. They prefer to have inexperienced people working under them so their poor decisions are not challenged. Sales professionals are put in an awkward position to... sell activities that are on a calendar distributed but do not actually happen making them look dishonest. Food service dept lacking orders taking 40+ min to arrive and then poor quality and presentation. Consistently not staffed appropriately so you will likely be covering front desk as well and when you cannot reach your quota due to lack of activities and depts. not operating the way they are designed you will be forced to work your days off with no additional pay. Meanwhile the mgmt. that is responsible for making sure the depts. operate right so you can successfully do your job will be at home enjoying their time off.

Advice to Management

Stop ignoring red flags and start understanding when there’s multiple issues and a beautiful site is not being successful , an entire team of very experienced reputable people are leaving in addition to many of your residents old and new...it’s probably not your onsite team that’s the problem and likely the leadership and who you are placing in the drivers seat.

Pros

Working with residents is worth everything

Cons

Don't share information and talks about you behind your back

Advice to Management

Be fair
