    Disappointing

    Nov 5, 2022 - Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great co-workers, have heart they love the residents and try hard.

    Cons

    Where to start…they keep admitting people despite having no staff to adequately care for the residents. Days off are hard to come by. Working so short on the floor that can’t meet the demands of the residents and they get mad. Vacation forget it there is no one to give you the time off that you need or request. Want to make tons of money and loose your mind and family in the process then THIS is the job for you! Management has checked out so can’t go there for help!

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Diverse environment -Big community of staff that want to help each other out outside of work -A place to retire if that's what you're seeking -Some ability to move up/promoted -"job security" which is a pro and a con because it prevents those who do not work on a daily basis/break rules un-fireable

    Cons

    -'retirement' money takes out a lot from your pay, making your real take home pay not much higher than regular job market -Lots of work place management acting like they are powerful dictators at times -Management will push work onto everyone and not do a lot themselves -Old systems/programs that are dinosaur age with the promise to upgrade equipment but has not had much innovation in over 30 years

    Pros

    All holidays off, pay is ok for job required. Great group of co-workers make the job fun.

    Cons

    Direct supervisor is a bi-polar, unexperienced, nasty, thinks she knows it all. Upper management has no clue how much her direct reports put up with - condescending comments, racial slurs, vulgar language.
