Leisure World of Maryland

Please be advised that in this job you are the front line of the office. You are essentially the receptionist; this is not a "cubicle" job. You will be sitting at a desk by the entrance of the property management office. This job is 90 percent customer service based.

A typical day requires answering the phone and tending to the various questions and requests of all the residents and the property manager. You will make flyers for events, post them and other notices, as well as take meeting minutes. You will also be required to update the property's website. Other administrative tasks are involved. You will need a driver's license because you may need to drive to the administrative building from time to time.

I have learned that it takes very "thick skin" to work here. Be prepared for the challenging environment that comes with aging residents. They can be brash/aggressive/demanding which I feel is also the hardest part of this job. It can be very trying to keep a good attitude while dealing with difficult residents. The most enjoyable part of the job is the coworkers and the amazing health benefits.

- A typical day at Leisure World normally starts off with mowing in the mornings, and the afternoons we either continue mowing, remove trees, or rake sand bunkers
- During my time at Leisure World, I learned how to use machinery, such as, grass mowers, wood chippers, and chainsaws. 
- I don't have any direct contact with members of management other than my supervisor. However, my supervisor treats everyone fairly, provides proper training as needed, and is very enjoyable to work with.
- The culture in my department is great. Everyone gets along with each other, and operates well as a team.
- The job isn't very tough, but if I had to choose a job assignment to considered "hard", I would say grass mowing. Grass mowing can be challenging sometimes you need to be able to use the machines properly, and the grass must be cut to certain specifications.
- The most enjoyable part of the job is working on job assignment with my coworkers. It helps us complete job assignments in a timely manner, which makes the day go faster.

In accounting department that I worked the manager was an old kid, who you would find crying in her office for her personal matters. She didn't know what was going in her department and she just knew as much as her assistants would want her to know. The person who does the training is horrible and many new employees did not last long because of her attitude. There is no place to grow. The superior provokes  the employees and departments are not working in paraler to make the work easy and they do not get along. Sometimes they treat each other in a way they are each others enemy. 

The dynamics of the work environment has changed tremendously over my 15+years tenure. That family oriented atmosphere no longer exists. There is very little supervision on the job and not a lot of training. Very fast paced work environment and the job is very stressful. You have to really love what you do and have a keen sense of humor to make it. 

It is amazing working for the residents. They are very helpful and can be entertaining at times. They like to stick to their routines. They do not like a lot of change and the rest is history.

They say you are a special police officer, when in reality your not even that. The "Chief" if that's what you want to call him doesn't have a clue how to run the department. You are not allowed to exercise any form of police powers. The vehicles aren't even marked as "police". If you have any medical training, you are not allowed to touch anyone. You have to wait for the fire department to arrive. If someone falls, you are not even allowed to help them up. You are required to carry a revolver which is not even issued. You have to purchase your own.

Worked here for 10 years, managers and store managers changes often. Managers and store managers keeps getting worst, has no respect, even though you do what you can, if you don’t finish your work, you get written up. Doesn’t  treat everyone equally, gives some people more work than another then complains why you didn’t finish. The only thing you’ll have to learn is, know how the new managers that comes in are, so you know how to deal with them.

It’s a great job for those who may have gaps in their resume or are just getting started in the workplace. However, if that doesn’t apply to you, stay FAR AWAY from this place. It’s very easy to get burnt out and the management does not care about its employees and residents are rude. 

There is NO management oversight by Residents or Human resources dept. Any internal issue gets swept under the rug. No employee is regarded as "valuable ". Vendettas run rampant and Human Resource Dept. is TOTALLY powerless to impose any correction at all; merely a figurehead. Overall a hostile work enviorment.

Residents at Leisure World will call the gate for any and all reasons, often things nothing to do with the gate. High turnover, as with most security jobs. One of their SPOs has anger issues, they're going to have trouble from him sooner or later. Long hours, typical low security guard pay
