Pros

The population that is served made it wonderful to come to work every day!

Cons

Upper Management was always interested in the numbers of clients in attendence each day which simply undermined the ability of center directors to be successful. They would reduced staff, reduce the number of vehicles to pick up clients, reduce $ for supplies to provide adequate activities and expected us to increase our daily attendence numbers. Due to such mismanagement the clients are often put in unsafe situations which creates a lot of turn over with the hands on staff and then upper management blames the center director for not being able to retain staff. Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. I was employed there for 7 years so I am speaking from experience and I saw the same thing replicate itself over time at all their locations!

Pros

I LOVE working here! This team is small but mighty. The seniors have become a tight knit family, who all look out for each other, and my supervisor is great.

Cons

It's been a struggle adjusting to a 5-day a week schedule, as I have always had 4 10's or 3 12's. However, the work-life balance is actually better and my supervisor is flexible and understanding.
