Friendship Village Of Dublin

It is an absolutely gorgeous retirement community.  Unfortunately, that’s all that is. Frontline workers are dedicated however there is zero management support.  Only care about independent side where all the money is.  The management and leadership culture is toxic.  Leadership looks only for people to blame when there are complaints and not for a lasting solution to the problem.  Staff below the very top level spend their day walking on eggshells. All the good staff have been driven out by management that is threatened by people that are competent and actually care for the elders they are suppose to serve.  Word of advice- run.  There are much better places out there with amazing work cultures.  FVD is not it.   

I worked at FVD for more than 3 years. Every year we had a review with a "raise". The raise ended up being about 1-2 CENTS an hour. However, this is an okay job to be a first job and looks good on your resume. Management was non- existent (half the time there wasn't a designated manager for my department) and most employees quit within a few months of being hired. Do not expect career advancement or to feel appreciated. I left FVD feeling very used and taken advantage of. Salary is not competitive. Personally, I think you would be better off working at McDonald's than Friendship Village of Dublin.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits were pretty decent, and the hours usually weren't too bad

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of real management, miscommunication across all the departments, lack of desire to promote/Increase pay to reflect effort

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I started, the staff was very welcoming. Most of those people left.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The job was never difficult, but it could be confusing because of changes in scheduling/events

I was a server and the biggest problem was always management. We were often left not knowing who was in charge, who was available, and how to find them. In addition to being short-staffed the pay disparity was massive with new people earning more than past employees, lack of management resulted in a few people carrying most of the workload, and problems to do with poor treatment, lack of supervision, etc were not addressed in the time I was employed there which was nearly 2 years. 

In many ways friendship village is a good job to have based on the hourly wages and the flexible shift hours. But one of the main problems Ive encountered their is a lack of management. Their Management is always someone who had a previous management positions  but assumed both positions to keep the company running and it becomes a problem when their overworked and aren’t able to communicate with you and stricter rules get placed to make them feel less stressed out which falls on the servers.  

If you're looking for an entry level security job, this job is for you. You will get the experience you need... If you don't mind taking out trash from big hoppers full of adult diapers that are not bagged, answer maintenance calls and plunge toilets. 

Upper management does not care about security.

Expect to learn everything as you go.

Extremely toxic environment.  People generally do not make enough money to be able to afford any of the benefits. You are made to feel like they have done you a favor by you working there and you owe them your life now. Team work is non-existent.  Absolutely no diversity in leadership.  Everyday I felt overworked and underpaid with all of my concerns being ignored.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Serving seniors and working alongside dedicated, talented folks (even though leadership and the C suite refuse to acknowledge it).

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The CEO. She plays favorites, targets people, shuts her team down during meetings. She does not have your back and treats you like the enemy if she senses you might need a bit more support.

Senior living can be very rewarding and challenging - unfortunately, the CEO makes this workplace incredibly challenging.  The other leadership are supportive but they allow the CEO to create a toxic workplace.  The CEO is disrespectful and not qualified for this job.  She takes out her insecurities on those around her.  It is unfortunate because Friendship would be a great place to work without her.  

Friendship Village is focused on customer service and quality of care. My concern is using our personal electronic devices to document patient care on SmartCare app and using our phone to clock in and out. I don’t like using my personal phone for work to record data. Residents always see us on our phones and it is not respectful to them.
