Pros

Large regional organization with a large variety of career opportunities in healthcare industry.

Cons

-Managerial turnover appears to be high. This seemed to be a consequence of burnout. The clinic I primarily worked at had three different administrators and clinical supervisors in two years. -While starting pay is better than an entry level position at a large retail box store such as Walmart or Target - it is not by much. Considering the amount of knowledge and training required to do the job competently - it should have been more. -Your ability to do your job effectively does not seem to be sufficient. Making the right people happy at the right time seemed to be a prerequisite to acquire immunity for any minor mistake made. And due to the ever changing standard required by each individual doctor, mistakes will be made. -The clinic communication app, WebX became less about conveying pertinent information related to coordinating tasks and more about passive aggressiveness and gossip via direct message.

I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience! We hold our employees to the highest standards. We’re sorry you had a negative experience with the way that management handled mistakes and that it felt as if you had to walk a thin line, having to deal with negativity through the instant messaging service provided for patient care while not receiving the compensation you felt was needed. We’ll share your feedback with leadership.

Pros

There are no pros to working at Sunset Drive

Cons

High turn over rate for a reason. The management is horrendous above all else. Forces CNAs to work severely understaffed, sometimes alone to a 40 patient unit. They treat their employees like they are disposable and show absolutely zero appreciation unless you fall under their favoritism. Promote horrible employees whilst treating the good ones horribly. They expect you to throw your personal life away for the job. Will pick employees up during snow storms but expect them to find their own rides home in an attempt to trap them there to work a double shift when other staff inevitably don’t show up at shift change. They also offer hot meals for those who will stay overnight during predicted snow storms but those hot meals end up being a bag of goldfish and some gram crackers. They threaten to report evening employees for abandonment if they don’t work a double when overnights don’t show up at shift change. The work environment is borderline abusive and is extremely detrimental to a persons mental health. Management also has a tendency to sweep illegal doings under the rug and refuse to cooperate with police when it involves cases pertaining to their residents. Best advice I can give is to stay as far away from this place as possible. They do not care about you.
