It's not easy, but it's more than worth it.
Pros
This is the type of work environment I’ve dreamed of throughout my career. Every day brings new challenges, valuable lessons, and opportunities to learn and grow as a team. Although I’ve only been here for three months, I already feel deeply connected to my coworkers, the residents, and the community, as if I’ve been part of it for much longer. The opportunities for growth truly feel limitless. Each challenge is met with determination, compassion, and a genuine sense of humor. This team doesn’t just feel like a group of colleagues, it feels like family (and not the dysfunctional kind). This workplace stands out because of the little things that matter most: birthdays and anniversaries are remembered and celebrated, contributions are acknowledged and rewarded, and asking for help or more time when needed is not only accepted but encouraged. I feel seen, understood, accepted, and appreciated. I value my coworkers, for who they are as people, as well as all they do for the company. I genuinely believe each member of our team wants to make a positive impact on our community, and it feels like a blessing to work with them to do so.
Cons
While I personally enjoy this degree of fast paced environment, I can imagine that it might be overwhelming for some people. There isn't hand-holding. Each of us is expected to rise up to the occasion and be willing to learn and grow on a daily basis.
