Pros

All-inclusive- from patio homes to rehab to transportation to medical equipment

Cons

Hiring and on-boarding is inefficient and ineffective Career advancement is difficult Meaningful continuing education is minimal Poor training program- utilize overworked employees to train Nurses are valued more than other employees-other roles are underpaid Operations are ran like a small business at individual facilities but any change at the corporate level is oppositional Operations, overall, is not cohesive and lacks communication Upper management does nothing to to improve diversity. equity, and inclusion- in fact, it is common to be neglected and/or bullied Favoritism is common- especially in management Fear of retribution- or suggestions for improvement are ignored Recognition is insufficient Profit and reputation are pushed as a main focus- positive social media presence is valued more than continuing education Profit over people- - e.g. requiring patients to use Columbine pharmacy Almost every employee feels overworked, partially, because they hire the least amount of staff required which results in short staffing regularly Broken equipment leads to difficulty completing job duties to 100%, but also risking injury Work/life balance is not a priority- you are expected to go above and beyond your job duties Extremely low pay for workload Middle-management is required to take on multiple roles with a max 2% annual raise Health benefits are subpar considering this is a healthcare company that partners with a major medical group

Pros

the people on this team are so amazing and kind. They really care about their job and being good at it for the residents sake.

Cons

The management is discombobulated and doesn’t always have the best listening skills when it comes to listening to what needs to get done.

Pros

-Wonderful clients to work with -Somewhat compensated for driving -Getting to know the clients -You get paid the whole shift if a client is not there or wants you to leave early

Cons

Please do not work for Bloom at Home for Columbine. I was under and over worked while working for them. They do not provide breaks for when you are with a client for 5+ hours and do not follow the Colorado labor laws with breaks. I have worked 10 hours straight with no breaks with Bloom and some people work 12 hours with no breaks or relief. My hours were inconsistent and consistently low during my time working here. I started getting hours and got them cut in a cycle. They also scheduled split hour shifts with like 3 or more hour breaks in between clients. There is an expectation to keep your phone on and ready to discuss work related tasks outside of your working hours. I have been called repeatedly by management outside of my working hours and told to respond immediately when outside of working hours. Pay is extremely low for the work we do too. Driving isn’t also fairly compensated. I was also promised 20 hours of training when I started this job and they did not provide me with 20 hours of training. Additionally, due to driving not being fairly paid and the breaks in between clients you end up working like 15 hour days but only get paid for like 8 hours of it. Additionally, they scheduled me repeatedly outside of my availability which lead to me stopping work at 10 PM and starting again at 7 AM.
