Pros: free meal per shift
Cons: the heat of the desert
Answer phones, show and rent units, input data, update records and collect payments.
I learned administrative skills.
The managers are the most supportive I have ever met.
Hardest part of the job was the heat of the desert.
Most enjoyable was meeting and making many friends.

Well written review of what it like to work in a for-profit assisted living environment. I work for a different company and it is just like Atria for 'military style' approach and the census/revenue are the driven goals. Much emphasis placed on revenue which leads management to make decisions that backfire. Sometimes, actually often feel, marketing of new residents is the sole concern and once people move in, their needs/promises become secondary to recruiting additional new residents. Vicious cycle
