Pros

The company and my boss decently flexible with me and my schedule which I appreciated, If I got sick he'd get coverage for my shifts. Being able to create relationships with and talk to the senior residents was a wonderful part of the job.

Cons

The coworkers, which were my managers and fellow Dining Servers, were almost all the most unpleasant people to work with. The majority of them, especially the ones that had been there awhile, would constantly berate me on how I was doing my job and when and why I was doing what I was doing. They never seemed extremely picky with their hires at my location because almost every one of the servers were horrible people to deal with.

Pros

-AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS -Christmas bonus -Business Casual attire - no set uniform -Very kind Business Office Manager -Somewhat rewarding

Cons

-Dealing with many rude and condescending seniors and their families (the clients) -Having coworkers with weaker skills or who are newer making more than you -It could easily get busy and sometimes moderately stressful -Consistent phone ringing -Leadership avoiding the clients' phone calls and you end of being the punching bag for complaints out of your control -They don't want you to leave the front desk but have many tasks that require you to be away from the front desk. Management says they'll sit in for you, but don't.
