The good:
Growth potential/career advancement exists within a growing company.
Job security in a potentially shaky industry.
Compensation is relatively competitive within the industry.
The bad:
As is typical with these companies, you as an employee are ultimately disposable. They will always choose the client over their employee. 
Upper management is mostly self-serving with occasional exception.
At the end of the day, I would probably not return to this employer in the future.

Work your tail off for no recognition

The good is I was paid well and the job was easy to learn.
The bad was as soon as I started the manager had a completely different demeanor than the interview. This created a very uncomfortable culture amongst the team. Very unprofessional from lower to upper management. Created a very toxic and unsafe environment for the team and the residents. Don’t recommend this employer. 

It is what it is, you help prepare and serve food. As long as you can come to work and do what needs to be done and get it done on time, you’ll have an easy day. But life happens so the job does get challenging at times. I personally felt like management and upper management didn’t communicate enough and us regular staff suffered for it. But overall like I said it’s a decent job with decent hours. Never really any overtime unless a real emergency happens. 

I loved the job, it was easy and straightforward. The residents were amazing and so were most of my co workers. There was one particular co worker who had issues with everything and everyone, consistently made remarks about others in front of residents and was rude and unprofessional. The management team knew this was a daily occurrence. When spoken to the employee didn’t change and management wouldn’t take any further action. 

Work was generally easy since the menus were set and just rotated every few weeks. The pay was decent for me, though listening to others it sounded like that wasn't the case for most people. The main issue was how willing the company was to ignore issues. I ended up having to leave because a coworker made the environment unsafe and they wouldn't address the problem further.

What stands out about the company is the amazing staff and the even more unbelievably amazing residence. We have formed a very tight family and I look forward to going to work every single day!

If you enjoy babysitting teenagers and like a lot of down time, this is a great job for you. Too many chiefs. They hire very inexperienced people and want professionalism. Not gonna happen!!

Poor management (very poor)
Never have food or if we do have food it's never enough for the patients
At times the employees have to saran wrap hot cereal  bowls such as oatmeal...
The staff half cleans the kitchen, the manager is very lazy as well and all he does is complain about everything
