Buckner International

What is the best part of working at the company?
If youd consider yourself a vary reliable individual and skilled cook I recommend you move on because you would be left to fend for yourself especially if you're the health care cook. Breakfast lunch and dinner is mainly just on you to prep and cook. 6am to 2pm is you're schedule but bc of the work load you'll often find yourself working way past that bc you don't you'll suffer the next day with no prep since theirs no reliable assistance or team work available. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not enough employees and within the 6 months I was their they loss 3 sous chefs so their was constant inconsistency of leadership and their is no HR rep on Campos only through corporate. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor, nobody is motivated and quality is subpar

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 to 12 hour shifts hardly a break available to take. Work and prep nonstop

I come from a private sector background managing the website for an online retailer. The pay was low, the pressure was high, the appreciation was nonexistent. So I quit. 
Eventually, I found Buckner International and I almost feel like a prisoner being freed after serving 20 years. A weight has been lifted off me as the pay is more, the work is collaborative and fun, and I am constantly being praised for my efforts. Everyone is praised! This is the nicest group of people I have ever been around. There is such positive energy between everyone. 
The benefits are outstanding, way better than my last job. Even more importantly, I feel like I'm making a difference in the lives of children and our senior citizens. I'm not busting my hump to make some rich guy even richer, I'm helping people. I feel good about that. I sleep well at night. I'm a happy person, now.

I worked at two locations of Buckner retirement.  They had different challenges but you had plenty of support from the ED and other staff when dealing with problems.  The retirement plan is second to none and the benefits are quite affordable, there were options to pick from as well.  There were plenty of learning opportunities and management is quite accessible.  They have many events, that vary from campus to campus, that are fun and engaging for staff and sometimes the staffs families.  Work life balance isn't bad.  management is on call but part of it is just part of the job.  Give Buckner a try you won't regret it!

Working at Buckner is an incredibly rewarding experience. The environment is incredibly warm and caring with everyone driven by the purpose of the mission. I am surrounded by friendly and caring colleagues who genuinely support one another. I am very thankful for my manager and team members who have actively promote my wins and provide opportunities for personal and professional growth. It's truly a place where I have felt valued and empowered. 

If I would have known that they only wanted me to implement the ADP system and not to be on-boarded as the Directer I would not have taken that position.
I spent 56 day implementing a payroll system that they purchase in 2009 for 58 location all over Texas.

I learn a lot about no profits company and retirement  homes and assisted living.

When they informed me that my job was being eliminated as the payroll Manager.

I most enjoyable part of my job was the people that  I interacted with in my time of traveling to the various location.

It's a great place to work with them and I've been here since 2015. The staff are one of the most wonderful people I met. You can't go wrong working with them as they welcome you with open arms as you would feel they are part of your family. The staff including myself would make our residents a comfortable place to be with utmost care. We are always here to make everyone shine. Give a buckner a try without any hesitation and you'll see it for yourself!

If I could rate Buckner CFS in Beaumont Texas lower than one star, I would.  Educators are overworked and extremely underpaid.  Management is totally out of touch with the actual job requirements. Beware of the interview "suck-in" tactic.  They present the job as flexible , etc...... totally deceptive! It is sad that an organization that presents it's self as a religious institution can be absolutely hypocritical. Don't walk, RUN away from this position!    

Buckner management goes far beyond what is expected of them in the best way. I have never experienced such a great work culture, and through the pandemic they remained transparent and communicative about everchanging policies and procedures. There is a strong push to continue learning about the field you serve in and a selfless staff to help put you in a position that you will thrive in. I could not recommend working here enough. 

This company is lousy.  They treat employees like slaves, hate and cheat the residents.  Managers do no work but blame staff for their mistakes.   You are required to do monthly training, but they do not follow their own guidelines in how they actually work.  

God help you if you are ever sick and need to call in to be out a day.

Dallas is home office.  They create tension when they come to campus.  The management here in Beaumont is poor.  No communications.  The Healthcare Administrator is rude and cold.  She lied on me and for that reason I was terminated.  I was suspended for a week and was not told why.  I was terminated later without being able to give my side of the story.  Not professional.
