      Pros

      When times are good, Beztak is a fair employer that offers flexible hours, PTO, and generous pay and opportunities to advance, depending on the position.

      Cons

      When times are bad, like they are now under the threat of a global pandemic, Beztak's true colors show. They do not seem to value the work or even the lives of their employees. Right now, there is a Beztak senior living facility in West Bloomfield, MI where there have been two dozen confirmed COVID-19 cases and almost a dozen deaths. In response to this, Beztak has done NONE of the following: reduce staff onsite to prevent virus transmission, including mandating staff who can do their work remotely do their work from home; provide appropriate PPE for staff required to be onsite for the operation of services; generously expanded their sick leave policy; or provide hazard pay for staff required to be onsite. What Beztak HAS done: mandate that ALL staff members, even non-essential staff that could easily do their work remotely, be present on the property for business as usual; with no PPE available, tell staff to use rubber bands and foot covers as facemasks when checking on residents; expand sick leave by only 5 days with a doctor's excuse; provide a very small bonus on only one paycheck to act as a reward for staff placing their lives in danger every day we report to work; be opaque with staff and residents' families about the COVID-19 outbreak, including not telling staff members rooms where COVID-19 residents are staying so they can take proper precautions. This is not only disappointing, its actually unacceptable.

      We are incredibly proud of the valued associates that continue to provide a comfortable living environment for the senior citizens that choose to call us home, and we have taken multiple actions as a company to minimize risk and show appreciation, many of which have been mentioned above. Through proactive measures including complimentary additional PTO being given to all associates, elimination of all direct contact, bonuses for those serving this fragile population, reduced staffing levels that remain in place as of today, ample communication about safe social distancing/best practices and more, all of our associates have remained diagnosis free. At all senior living communities, we must continue minimizing both mental and physical risks for our residents. This will require the continued efforts of our valued group of dedicated associates. Should any individual associate feel uncomfortable despite the efforts in place, all of which have been favorably reviewed with the Oakland County Health Department and OSHA, they are absolutely encouraged to communicate with human resources directly to discuss other options.

      Pros

      In the beginning I thought I was working with quality management. I did however have some great co-workers! I think the company would have been okay to work for but Annie the manager of the 2 properties I was working at was not all there. She made my job difficult by micromanaging every aspect of maintenance and as service manager I had absolutely no control over my department. Yet she couldn't even do payroll properly. I've gone to my regional on more than one occasion about this and I just kept getting referred back to Annie. On a Thursday I requested PTO for the following Monday. I even sent her a text message letting her know I had put a request in. Monday afternoon she told me I would need a doctor's note to come back to work!! This threw me off!! I hadn't called out sick! I Put a PTO request in!! The next day I tried to reach out to my regional to explain the situation to her but I got no return call or message. The very next day which was Wednesday 9am I saw in Paycor that I was terminated for 3 days in a row no call no show!!! Now I don't see how that's possible given the fact that I had requested Monday off was told I couldn't come back without a doctor's note and then Wednesday at 9:00 I was terminated for the third no call no show in a row. But a no-call no show constitutes being 2 hours or more late without a phone call. We don't start work till 8:00 I was terminated at 9:00! do the math. Not only was I terminated but then I was not given any of my on-call maintenance bonuses that I was promised in the beginning, I was screwed out of at least 24 hours of pay was also charged at $250 lock change fee which in this business rekeying locks is standard procedure when somebody is terminated or quits!! I also turned in receipts that I never got paid back for!! I reached out to the company's head of HR, sent multiple emails to corporate, made many phone calls which none were returned. Finally I was promised by someone named Amanda that she was working and investigating on it and I would hear from her by the end of the week. That was two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything! I spent 8 hours in orientation listening to how this company has such integrity and good mornings and core values blah blah blah, and this is how I get treated after 2 months of working there!! Beztak-Oakland reminds me of why I don't like working for others! I'd much rather work for myself.

      Cons

      Service managers have no authority whatsoever they are a scapegoat for things that go wrong during inspections!! The property manager is allowed to make as many mistakes or screw as many people over as she wants to and get away with it every time.
