SilverCrest Properties

The residents are the only reason I stayed with the company as long as I did. Extremely toxic work environment with management. They have the mentality of ‘when I saw jump - you say how high’. Management promises job advancement but no follow thru. Company and upper management only care about the bottom dollar - not the employees, residents or properties. The pay is the poorest in the industry and the worst part is the company and management know it is and their solution: if they see people enjoy what they do and see longevity it won’t matter what we pay— highly doubt they can pull the longevity card anymore considering within the year I left over half a dozen long tenure employees quit because they had enough of the company and saw it’s true colors when Covid hit. I’ve been done with this company for 2 years and only realized once I was with a company that values it’s employees and has ethics just how backwards this company was. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here let alone trust my loved ones to live and be cared for by any silvercrest property.  

2 stars ONLY because of the some wonderful people i worked with/amazing residents.

corporate management does *not* care about the many, many issues at their campuses. you either make it work, or get fired for not making them happy. you will be paid some of the lowest wages in the industry to do the work of 5+ people & be expected to make this job your life. 

nepotism/favoritism are the 2 best ways to get any kind of raise or promotion. if they don't like you (for whatever reason), they will make it their mission to get you to quit.

corporate exec's and VP's have a very, "Mad Men-esque," view of themselves-- self-importance, hyper-conservative and extremely non-inclusive. they do not care what kind of corners they need to cut for profit. 

you can do better, i promise.

The work is good, the residents are mostly awesome and most of the staff is OK to work with.  The pay is awful, the benefits are non-existent (worst insurance ever) and the PTO policy is so-so.  The management is clueless.  They talk about training but the training consists of, "here's your desk, there's the door, good luck"  Then, if you violate some policy they wave the non-existent policies and procedures in your face and tell you you have been trained.  The management likes feeling powerful but they are impotent fools.  Some of them have read a book or two on management technique and then think the real world works that way.  Be prepared to be lied to and denigrated at any random moment for any mood-swing reason.  Run away.

As a current employee, I enjoy working with the residents and most of my co-workers, but I have seen a lot of staff leave due to poor management and abuse. We are the little guys have no help with this. When we tried to report abuse to management, we were told to grow up. When we reported this mistreatment of staff and unfortunately residents, to corporate, we were ignored by them and punished by the front line management. Most of the good workers left the job since no changes were made, but I needed the job to make ends meet. I think its time for me to go too. There has to be other senior places that treat their residents and staff better.

What do you get when an over-confident, vindictive VP gets power-hungry and decides to undo all the good things a team of directors has accomplished at a property for personal reasons? Hire a milquetoast, failed former business-owner figurehead as Campus Director and embarrassingly underqualified Care Director to run the business into the ground, naturally! If you're a serious health care professional who genuinely cares about seniors you will be miserable here. Since most of the companies assets are in the midwest, its very likely nobody at the corporate level really cares about this TX location.

I really did like this job. We have a wonderful facility and great staff. Really feels like family here. I would have stayed longer however pay isn't great. They start off most staff at minimum wage, even full timers. 2% increases yearly. Which isn't a lot. 

While companies around them are increasing their starting wage, silver crest properties are not. Hard to keep up a livable lifestyle when you can hardly afford the bills. Tacobell next door hires 12 an hour and so does cub. It's time to get with the times and hire people for what they deserve. People are leaving because of pay. Not because of their bosses here.

Silvercrest Properties is a very flexible work environment. They are very understanding, very great with communication, every person i have met here so far is just great! I don't think i have walked into work, and someone hasn't greeted me with a smile! You get to meet new people almost everyday, and get to know the people of Silvercrest Properties not by what's on paper, but what they like, there needs, wants, likes, dislikes. Floor 13 has the best view I have seen in Saint Louis Park, and this place has got to be the fanciest nursing home i have stepped into!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Meeting and working with the clients and their families

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The division between the nurses and the resident assistants was great.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is a very poor management company with very little regard for the clients or staff.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trying to make the best of a bad situation for the staff under me and also the clients

Worked there for three weeks and within the first 2 weeks multiple people had left because the foreman was not very friendly.   Would not answer questions, would not give you directions if you asked to do something... very short tempered.   Was told to go home because "I carried garbage to the dumpster" and "forgot to put a backer in when given a huge list of things to do".   Everyone I started with is gone except for one guy who is trying to make the 90 days for bonus then plans to bail.   

I was excited to be able to be a part of a start up of a new area in the health care field and it was hard at first but I enjoyed what I did each day and being of service to the clients we served also gave me great pleasure. It grew into a toxic environment and the team I managed made it unbearable for me to stay so I left as well as another of my co-workers. The company has some very good employees & some very negative workers who are there simply for the wages and they don't care anything for the clients.
