A typical day at work is always busy and productive. As an AP Manager, I handle all accounts payable responsibilities while also supporting the business office, so there’s always something to do. The work keeps me on my toes, but in a good way—it’s never boring, and I truly feel like what I do makes a difference.

One of the biggest things I’ve gained here is hands-on experience. My boss taught me everything I know, and I’ve learned more in this role than in any classroom. Management is incredibly supportive and genuinely wants to see you succeed.

The workplace culture is fast-paced but collaborative. Everyone pulls their weight, and we all help each other when needed.

The hardest part of the job is just how much there is to juggle—especially at month-end—but I’ve developed great time management skills because of it.

The most enjoyable part of the job is feeling appreciated and knowing that my work directly supports the day-to-day operations of our communities. There’s a real sense of purpose and pride here

A typical day at work involved managing tasks and collaborating with team members to ensure smooth operations. I developed valuable skills in time management, communication, and problem-solving while learning to work efficiently under pressure. Management is supportive and approachable, providing clear expectations and encouragement for professional growth. The workplace culture is positive and team-oriented, with a strong sense of mutual respect and collaboration. Colleagues are friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. The most challenging part of the job is handling tight deadlines and balancing a heavy workload, especially when unexpected issues arise. However, the most rewarding aspect is the sense of accomplishment from overcoming challenges and successfully completing projects. I also enjoy the opportunity to learn continuously and work closely with a supportive team. 

Each day starts with a list of rooms to clean, usually 10–15 depending on staffing. It’s a mix of light tidying and deep cleaning, including resident apartments and common areas. 
I’ve learned a lot about working with elderly residents and how much a clean space can affect someone’s quality of life. I’ve also gotten better at time management and handling difficult or emotional situations with empathy and professionalism.
Upper managers and supervisors are understanding and do their best to support us.
Overall, the culture is friendly. The team looks out for each other, and there’s a sense of pride in helping residents.
Best part of the job are, hands down, the residents. They’re the reason I keep showing up. Whether it’s sharing a laugh, listening to stories from their past, or simply knowing I made their day more comfortable — that’s what makes it worth it.

Since joining years ago as an intern, I've gotten to see many different sides of the company, from marketing to finance to operations. Every team and leader within the company truly pushes for every associate to achieve excellence. Myself and those around me are constantly given opportunities to try new things and grow professionally. Our culture of service has also made work incredibly rewarding. We develop relationships with residents, guests, and families, and it makes simple work very impactful. Galerie's culture definitely pushes associates to perform, and the work can be challenging at times, but there are always resources and support at your disposal to be successful

Having worked in the Accounting Department at Galerie Living for three years-and looking forward to many more- I can confidently say that this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.  The fast-paced environment keeps everyone engaged, but management remains approachable, fostering a genuinely collaborative culture.  Leadership listens to employee ideas and acts on feedback. As the company continues to grow, there are ample opportunities for advancement and professional development.  Overall, Galerie Living is an exceptional place to work.

My experience as an HR Business Partner with this company has been genuinely positive. From day one, I felt supported and trusted to contribute in meaningful ways.  The culture is collaborative and people-focued, and HR is treated as a true partner in driving the organization forward- not just a support function. I've had opportunities to grow, take on new challenges, and build strong relationships across the business. Galerie is a company where you feel valued, appreciated, and able to make an impact every day.

I have been a part of the Galerie organization for two years and can honestly say it has been a great experience. The level of support, transparency, and communication from leadership makes a real difference day to day. There is a strong focus on growth, with consistent coaching and opportunities to develop professionally.

What stands out most is the investment in associates. You feel valued, supported, and challenged in the right ways. It creates an environment where people want to do their best work.

Overall, it is an excellent place to work, and I am grateful to be part of the organization.

I have been with Galerie for over 5 and a half years now. I started as an F&B director during covid and was quickly promoted to the regional Dining Director. I spend every day working with my chefs and it has been an extremely rewarding experience. All jobs can be stressful, but here I have the support of the regional team and the encouragement from residents and associates to succeed! I have watched multiple cooks and sous chefs go on to run their own programs. It is great to be in an environment where hard work is rewarded with advancement opportunities! 

Working with seniors bring purpose but when the home office are liars and snakes they don't care about the residents. They will say anything for a move in even if there isn't staff to care for these move ins. They have multiple open positions in care and other departments but of things go wrong it's the buildings fault. They don't care if you wake up and there isn't a single person in memory care to care for these residents they will say it's your fault. Horrible company and worse human beings I have ever met.

I love working for a company with a vision to, “create unexpected happiness in life for seniors and their families”. Senior leadership is smart, humble, collaborative, and open to new ideas. It's amazing to be part of a growing company and getting to see the direct impact we're making in the lives of seniors and those who care for them.
