Pros

if you are looking for an easy part time job- dietary is the place to be. it works well for highschoolers since the hours are 4-8 pm . otherwise the place is AWFUL.

Cons

Where can I start with Delmar Gardens? There are so many things wrong. 1. First of all the place is filthy. I have seen way too many roaches there to ever eat there. 2.The staff is rude. They treat new comers awful. There is such a high turnover rate because the place is understaffed and not enough training. The older staff is mean to the newcomers and do not train them properly. The place is like high school its infested with drama. 3. Everyday EVERYTHING goes wrong. The place is so hectic and I can not give you a day that things went smoothly in the years I worked here. 4. The pay is not nearly enough to put up with everything. 5. Administration is delusional and will write you up for the littlest thing., Maybe I would do my job "perfectly" if I had the time to. !!! If you want a job you pretty much have to know someone who works there. The nepotism is strong here. Overall it's an awful place to work at. Personally I don't even think it's the job duties- it's the childish, rude staff and the crazy management that makes it so hard to work at. It's the worst job I've ever had. State has been to Delmar so many times I dont know how its not shut down

Pros

There is absolutely NOTHING positive about this dump

Cons

I don't even know where to begin.... 1. Absolutely NO form of security. No cameras anywhere inside or out. So if something is stolen from your car, purse, etc, nobody can do anything about it because there's no proof. Even if you know who did it, won't matter unless you have physical proof. The excuse given for no cameras? It's for resident privacy. Hospitals have cameras. Other nursing homes have cameras. Hell McDonalds has cameras. 2. All staff is NEVER held accountable for anything. Most of your supervisors are too busy being friends with staff to do any sort of discipline. 3. Corporate doesn't care about the building itself. They are more concerned about looks compared to being actually functional 4. Benefits are absolute crap! You can tell Corporate did no form of negotiations to actually find staff decent insurance for an actual affordable price. The health insurance barely covers anything. Vision insurance is a company that hardly anyone uses anywhere so good luck finding someone that will take it. Dental is the only thing that is actually worth getting. You don't get PTO until after you've been there for a year. Only job I've ever had that makes you wait that long. 5. The building itself is constantly falling apart. And corporate does nothing to put money back into the building for it to be fixed. They expect maintenance to basically put a bandaid over everything constantly.
