Sunrise Senior Living Employer Reviews

Nice place to work. Most co-workers are nice. Most mangers are nice. Sometimes it's "cliquey" but otherwise not a bad place to work. Lots of OT sometimes hard to get time off.

I am looking for a company that I can grow with and that change is OK. I found that my previous employer did not adapt well to change.

Great place to work, if you enjoy caring for the elderly. Fun and homey environment. The most enjoyable part of the job is learning and connecting with the elderly. Important to remember that not everyone shares the same passion for caring for others.

My experience was difficult, disappointing and unacceptable as a professional. It's unfortunate that management is not opening their eyes to the real issues in this community. This location will not succeed until the leadership changes. With a lack of due diligence and the dishonesty that portraits a false display of leadership, things will not change. – more... Based on my experience, I would not recommend anyone to work at that location, nor would I recommend someone to live there.
If you are looking for a lasting career in this industry, this is not the place to go.
Poor management, lack of leadership,poor communication, lack of integrity and honesty in the management team, Over promising and under delivering to the families looking for quality care for their loved ones, Promising core values and principles of service that are not practiced, Putting on a show for upper managment when they visit, which does not depict a true picture of how things are on a day to day basis, Very poor morale and employees are afraid to speak up about their concerns out of fear of reprisal or retaliation from those in charge. – less

Before the break of dawn I am up and ready to go and get my residents off with a good start. Smile on my face I walk in to the facility with a positive attitude and my day gets better from there. Helping my residents with their activities of daily living (grooming, dressing, and showers) and making sure they are down to breakfast on time, is sometimes – more... a challenge, but I accept it and complete my tasks with proficiency and focusing on the residents needs so they don't feel rushed. I've learned you need to be able to work in a team, but also rely on yourself and your own abilities and always leave room for improvement. The most enjoyable part is knowing that the residents truly enjoy the time and effort you take to care for them and the bond you make with them and their families. They become like your extended families along with your co-workers. – less

This job is an okay job but there isn't much room for advancement.

Sunrise in Katy, TX has been advertising for employment opportunities for over 2 years and hasn't hired anyone yet. They just gather people for group interviews, use the unsuspecting applicants for ideas and success stories, dismiss everyone and probably implement the stolen concepts. Do not waste your time or give away your creative ideas.

Sunrise is a good company to work for depending on the location. they offer great benefits an some of the workers are team players so it makes your day go by smoothly. But there are always changes and i like my work place to have stability.

I believe that this organization is great with it's residents and I enjoy working there.. I am however looking for job secirity and better wages

A typical day at work would be caring for the residents, dietary, and activities. I learned that activities are important to the residents. I had a good co-workers. The hardest part of the job was when a resident passed away. The most enjoyable part of the job was making milkshakes at the Bistro for the residents.

The residents are the best but they care more about image then they do there employees. Management sucks they will fire those work that break they back and praise the lazy ones. Well they have there favorites. Will lie to cover there buts and expect you to find people to work when you need days off and you are the only one in your department that work – more... every weekend – less

residence and employees are good to work with there is a lot of rushing in the morning and the end of the day. The hardest part is coming in at six o'clock and have all the residences down at breakfast by 8:30 as required by management.

It is a great place and everyone is family. I have been there for seven years and was able to grow as far as i wanted.

a pleasure to work with in all aspects never a dull moment and great communication

Good experience. A good day at work was awesome. Getting to provide great customer service was a really great postive experience for me to have.

work at Sunrise was a blessing to give back to the senior ,i leanred that is hard work ,management was a great team to work with nand the coworker to.the hardest part was to see them die,the most enjoyable part with to know that was a part of they life at the end

This place is just bad. They will not grant you days off when you need them. They recently decided to make people work weekends when they weren't hired to do so. They mandate housekeepers to work on Mondays and Fridays and only start you out at 8.10 an hour and are months late with your review. They change policies and don't tell their workers and make – more... people work full time when they are scheduled part time. Stay away! – less

Although I hear there is new management now who do give out better pay raises and are much better overall, when I was there it was terrible. I put in my two weeks notice for a better job and on my last day, I was written up for something I didn't do, and was flat out told they needed to have someone to blame it on.

I've been blessed with such amazing residents that I've grown to love like they were my own grandparents. I can't begin to explain the feeling you get from having taken care of some of these residents. It's a very fulfilling experience that I will forever be grateful for.

Sunrise senior living has the best values and team credo. Unfortunately, the – more... upper management is horrible to its employees. The RC That I work for has the worst mood swings. One day she is laughing with you and joking around and the next day she is taking to you like you're a child and frankly very mean and short tempered. She often takes her frustration out on her lead care managers and care managers. She's a bully and even when you try to tell people above her how things are nothing happens. They take her side and basically dismiss anything you've said. They think you're the one with the problem.

They will work you like a dog and treat you like poo. If you're looking for a company that genuinely cares about its employees, do not work for this company. There are days when you work til 11pm and are scheduled to work the next day at 6:30am with less than 8 hours between shifts and no compensation for turn around shifts. If management doesn't like you, you might as well say goodbye to any kind of raise or promotion. If they like you, they will give you a lead position after 7 months of being there, even though they've told other people that they have to be a care manager for at least a year before being considered for a lead position. They give excuses and then contradict themselves without any thought. They pass well qualified people (who have worked there for years with a heart for residents) up for promotion and give it to someone who has been there less than a year. No explanation. It's not right. It's not okay to be treated like a lower class citizen by the people you work for.

The HR manager is very rude and condescending and not to mention patronising. She talks to you like you've got no common sense. She makes condescending comments when she sees you and laughs it of like she's joking.

The ED doesn't pay any attention to the care managers in reminiscence unless he needs something. He just lets the RC tell him everything that he needs to know when in reality if he was to see how the RC really is to the employees he would maybe think about fixing the problem. He's very dismissive of the things people have said about the current RC. He had no idea what is really going on with his employees not does he care.

I've had some of the best co workers and all in all, they and my residents have made my work life a blessing. But if it wasn't for the fact that I need my job, I would leave. – less

Best place and staff members that you can trust to put your parents to spend the last days of their lives.
