Pros

So far the benefits are good, but that will only continue as long as you are employed by Lifespace or until they need the money to continue to grow the Home Office. (see below) The residents and fellow team members are great to work with.

Cons

Since the new CEO started, the home office has increased staffing by 117%. That money has to come from somewhere. All bonus's below director have been eliminated and for director they are based on unrealistic goals so basically no more bonus's. Not earth shattering for most but for those in marketing it is like a 25-50% cut in pay. Home Office response. We can do what we like, if it no longer works for you you are free to leave. Can the loss of other benefits be far behind? They are also planning on contracting out a lot of service areas over the next few years; dietary; security; housekeeping; grounds; fitness. More consistency and less hassle with fewer employees to manage and a set budget. A win-win for Home Office but avoid taking a job in any of these areas in the next year because it might go away when the contract companies come in. Will notice be given? Unlikely. After all it is just business and if you don't like it......

Pros

There are many great things about this job, and the people here are amazing. Instead of listing all the “pros,” I’ll just explain everything. The first couple weeks were very hard, but once I got used to the process—particularly the trays—it became rewarding. Every job has its ups and downs, so to speak. And here, there’s definitely that. But overall I’m very pleased how management genuinely cares about their employees. Sure, a lot of stress can be a pain. But I’m glad I’m sticking with it now. My team and I are becoming better every work day, and I’m planning on staying; especially after this holiday. I’ve never worked a job that rewards employees around the holiday season. Overall…I’m very content here. They’re always hiring, it’s a stable occupation. But this role is hard and not everyday is going to be good. That’s with every job. I like challenges, so if you’re like that in anyway—or good work ethic—you might fit well here.

Cons

—You will be tired at first, but you will get used to it. —There’s a difficult learning curve, largely due to understaffing rather than management. —Limited space in the work environment—neither good nor bad, though additional vacancies would help.
