Pros

They strive to provide services for older Iowans in rural communities. Great support staff at their corporate office. Accept residents that many others won't. Anniversary bonus. Paid time off. Some educational opportunities.

Cons

The management at the corporate office is very political and does not make decisions based on what is good for the facilities or residents. Management is not open to feedback, ideas, or questions. A not-for-profit company that pays their board of directors more than they pay the majority of their employees, including department heads. CEO has a large ego and doesn't care how his behavior impacts the staff in his own office or the facilities he leads.

Pros

Company owns all it's buildings, so no management company, and they have never sold any buildings. Everyone in the company just got a holiday bonus, and they are financially super stable. It's been years since I've even seen that after COVID, so it's really nice to see the company give back, especially in this economy. Very strong leadership team with a lot of great initiatives going on. I am new, but in the time I've been here we started paying for LPN's to complete their RN, work with local schools to help develop training programs and inspire future healthcare professionals of tomorrow,

Cons

There are a lot of things going on, and a lot of staffing ups and downs, but that's most healthcare companies today. Even though they struggle, it seems like they really do try to get creative to find solutions and the CEO and COO are regularly in and out of our buildings giving support where they can.
