Pros

The employees are amazing. All of our properties, in my area, work as a team and help each other out. I have had opportunities with Venterra that I never had with other companies. I have had the privilege to work in other departments, like the acquisition team, so broaden my knowledge and understanding of the process.

Cons

The employee experience use to be Venterra's number 1 priority, but recently, employee experience has taken a backseat to the bottom line. Decisions are made at the corporate level that deeply impact the onsite team, with no insight from the team members it will be affecting. There has become a disconnect from off-site (corporate) and onsite. The numbers are beginning to mean more than the people. This is in direct contradiction to the company that I have known for years.

Thanks so much for reflecting on your time with us and sharing the feedback. It’s great to know that your time with us has included a great team dynamic, an opportunity to expand your horizons, and that you’ve appreciated our focus on prioritizing our team members. While we’re certainly excited to be growing, it’s critical that we maintain our people-first company culture, so it’s difficult to hear you feel like this is something you’ve seen change recently. Our long-term approach to success requires us to continue our dedication to creating an amazing experience for every individual on our team. This means ensuring they have a voice, feel empowered to use it, and know that it’s heard. While resources like our annual leadership survey, our new Innspire Innovation Hub, and pilot programs to test initiatives before rollout, are intended to help make this a reality, we’re always open to ideas on how we can further improve in this area, and others. Given the feedback you’ve provided, I’d encourage you to reach out to me directly to discuss in a bit more detail. For your personal experience and for the experience of others at Venterra, I’d love a chance to gain better understanding of your observations and have a chance to turn things around. If you’re open to a dialogue, please contact me by phone (905-717-8624) or by email (rroos@venterraliving.com) when you have an opportunity. Thank you again for the review and in advance for any additional conversation.

Pros

Company allows for responsibility to make a change. Everyone is extremely pleasant to work with, and leadership allows for opportunities to grow with the organization. There is no limit to what you can do here to make an impact. I could not love a company more to work for.

Cons

Only negative I can think of is I wish the company offered more benefits. They seem a little limited compared to other companies.

Pros

Built an incredible, skilled, and caring on-site team. The residents were wonderful to work with, and my team worked tirelessly to support them.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, onboarding, and corporate support. I was placed in charge of a portfolio asset with systemic, expensive structural repairs that directly impacted resident health and quality of living. Instead of receiving corporate resources, regional management expected me to use unapproved, half-assed methods to "band-aid" these serious issues. When I refused to comply with these unsafe methods to protect the residents, I was immediately and unceremoniously terminated over a Zoom call under a vague guise of "miscommunication." This company would rather silence managers and lie to their investors than admit to real property failures and address them competently. They will happily let you sacrifice your own health, well-being, and personal finances for a property, only to throw you away when you stand up for what is right.
