Pros
It's a casual setting. Not too stiff.The pay is alright and the seniors are great! Co-workers are the same as anyplace else. Some you get along with and some are just regular chaos agents.
Cons
Racist Senior Management. Hardly a minority in sight when you visit the downtown office but plenty in lower paying subordinate positions. Yet minorities represent a huge portion of their residential census. The people chosen to occupy executive and corporate positions are not chosen based on their knowledge of the industry. They are chosen based on who they know and their skin color. Many state rules are being broken in order to fill each community to capacity. Some illegal activity has taken place as well. Bottom line is they don't really care about the people they provide a service to, although they pretend to. In essence it is really a nursing home without the proper staff to care for the residents. There really needs to be an organization to oversee such facilities besides the State of Illinois.
