Renaissance Employer Reviews

* A typical day at Renaissance consisted of being at the least 15 minutes before your shift (preferably 20 minutes) so that you can get prepared and communicate with whomever worked the shift ahead of you to make sure you know of any changes or issues with any of the residents. We would pass out all prescribed medications, prepare and serve meals, help – more... residents with the essentials of everyday living, and with any time left or in between duties we washed laundry and cleaned their rooms and common living areas.
* I learned how to have patience with and understand all kinds of different personalities, how to cook and prepare foods for different diets needs and specifications, and I gained more experience in communication and simply people in general.
* I feel we had great management, our employer was very understanding, helpful, and was a wonderful teacher.
* I never felt as if the people that I had worked with were co-workers, we were more of a family type team that functioned like a well oiled machine.
* The hardest part of the job was leaving, when our team found out that Renaissance was closing their doors it was heart breaking. It was so hard to say good-bye to all of the residents that we had grown to love.
* The most enjoyable aspect of the job was being able to meet the most welcoming and loving people I had ever met in my life. I will never forget a single residents that I cared for nor will I forget any team members or management, this was honestly a fantastic environment to work in with absolutely the sweetest people and I am so glad I was lucky enough to be apart of it. – less

I was offered this position again after I completed school until I find a job in my field. A typical day at work depending on the shift would be normal traffic in/out of building. Desk Clerks learn customer service skills and obtain an attitude of excellence. Co-workers work as a team. The only part of the job that may become hectic is when two or more – more... residents are coming and going at the same time along with the mailman and other courier services entering the building; in addition to the phone ringing while keeping track and documenting movement and packages at the same time. The most enjoyable part of the job is keeping busy while gaining experience. – less

I learned how to prioritze and delegate. I learned that people need a boss and not a friend. I learned what is needed to hire the right kind of employee as well as firing the wrong one. I did a lot of growing up in this job.

Answering inbound calls, and making outbound calls. Ive learned to work steady and still get my job done. Ive learned how to use 3 to 4 different computers screens at one time. The hardest part about the job was your managers were never around so if you had a question, you had to wait until lunch or a break to ask them. Enjoyable part was being able – more... to be independent. – less

When i first began at The Inn it was a great place to work. Between the managment and the regular staff and foreign staff every summer the people were lots of fun to work for and respectful. Over the years managment has deteriorated and things were not taken care of. I used to love my job and over the years the place has worked its way into one of the – more... worst places ive worked. I started working there as a busser and then picked up a second job in houskeeping. before i was laid off i worked in a cafe and the resturant which i quit because of how poorly managed it was and the staff was less than decent. – less

Being a CNA at the Renaissance is a daunting but rewarding task. We were required to have quite a few patients up by lunchtime. The part I liked was the pace. I enjoy moving until it's time for break or often until lunch. Some managers were more experienced than others and as such the floor ran according to experience. Some co-workers were team players – more... and communicated others I worked around. I learned to fine tune everything I learned about patient care in CNA school and I was happy when my immediate supervisor's trusted me to learn a new task which was not often enough for me. – less

It was a creative environment where you were encouraged to work and think independantly. The hours were long, but rewarding. Co-workers were also my closest friends, and remain still so today. Dealing with the various tempraments and personalities of the community was initially a challenge, but it gave me an opportunity to hone my communication and – more... leadership skills, as well as develop lifelong friendships with persons in my community I may not have met otherwise. The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to implement original ideas with full support from my supervisor. – less
