Retirement Concepts FAQ

Pros

The local Management team at Monterey Seniors Village was incredible and fun to work with.

Cons

The upper management at that time was going through a shift so things were a little chaotic.

Pros

Some staff genuinely care about residents but unfortunately the company itself does very little to help seniors and actively creates a toxic culture.

Cons

Toxic work environment, gossiping, little training/career development opportunities, bullying/hazing of new hires, poor leadership, greedy company taking advantage of seniors, regressive culture - not open-minded, authoritarian, extremely unprofessional leadership in corporate roles.

Advice to Management

Head office is completely out of touch and unprofessional. The for-profit model of seniors care means charging top dollar for seniors living, underpaying staff, and doing anything to make as much money as possible. Head office feels incredibly corrupt and doing everything in its power to appease investors and break up/disempower unions. Seniors are often falling through the cracks if they don't have family advocating on their behalf. Management needs to work on creating a healthier work environment and looking out for the seniors in their care rather than squeezing every penny out of them.

Pros

The autonomy to make decisions and work collaboratively with team was beneficial in my own advancement and knowledge.

Cons

This facility was riddled with bullying and harassment issues and quality of care.

Pros

No pros at all, nanaimo is the worst

Cons

Manager and director are very toxic and negative. Employees are unhappy because of the negativity and the manager is unprofessional

Advice to Management

They need new management team
