Receptionist
The typical day is fairly easy. You would have to get used to being very aware of your surroundings because your job is to monitor the front door and residents of the building. But that’s easy! It’s very routine - clock in, check emails, count drawer, give or receive keys to staff. Phone calls or residents/visitors/employees coming up the desk could be busy or slow. 

There’s a morning shift, swing shift and overnight shift. To be courteous to the next person, you would need to be on time for your shift otherwise they can’t leave. You are pretty much on your own outside of business hours. Management will be available to you in case of an emergency.

There may be a lot of opportunities for OT to cover coworkers vacation or sick leave. That was something I took advantage of in my earlier years because I had no personal responsibilities.

Admin Assistant 
I was given the freedom to be a responsible worker on my own motivation - I didn’t have an issue of being micromanaged. I had people within my department and outside of my department that were available to me when I needed help.

Management and other employees are so friendly and feels like a family environment.

The residents are so sweet. You want to serve them to the best of your ability bc they deserve the best retirement.


During my time at Arcadia Family of Companies, I encountered challenges related to management and workplace culture. New employees, including myself, often faced unclear expectations and limited autonomy, which made it difficult to contribute effectively and feel empowered in our roles.

Concerns were particularly noticeable within the Talent Acquisition and Workforce Development department. Leadership in this area often demonstrated a tendency toward micromanagement, and feedback was sometimes delivered in ways that felt discouraging rather than constructive. Employees with prior industry experience may find it especially challenging to integrate, as their expertise was not always welcomed or utilized.

Additionally, when departmental pressures arose, accountability was not always shared equitably. This occasionally led to a stressful environment where open dialogue and solution-focused thinking were lacking. Team morale was affected by the tone of certain meetings, which at times felt critical rather than collaborative.

These experiences made it difficult to align with the company’s stated values around support, respect, and growth. With greater emphasis on professional development for leadership and a culture of mutual respect, the work environment could become significantly more positive for future team members.

   This company has strong mission, vision and values.  They stand by these & truly care for their residents, clients, members & employees.  
   Arcadia and 15 Craigside are far more than just a beautiful place with caring professionals. The company follows Best Practices and has high standards which is why they are known for providing quality care.
   It all starts at the top and the CEO is an inspirational leader who leads by example.  She appreciates hard work and ensures that people are recognized for their efforts.  She is transparent in sharing with others so they learn and follow her lead.
   You can definitely grow within the organization if you take some personal responsibility in developing your skills and take the initiative to learn, work hard, ask questions, dialogue with your manager for feedback.
   I have never worked for a better company.
   

hired as night shift housekeeper, but was mainly responsible for carpet cleaning and floor stripping and waxing.  in terms of work there was not much to do, the other housekeepers never wanted my help when i would ask them.  there was no supervisor at night you can only rely on fellow employees and most of the time it was difficult because of the language barrier.  it was hard to do your job when you are not set up to do your job properly.

Lack of  support from management. Being non profit-all they care about is $$ vs quality of care. Too much micromanaging at work leading to low employee morale and high turnover. Management will tell you, if you voice your concern; “if you are unhappy, you are free to leave.” So better to just keep your mouth shut. No kindness compassion or respect!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No longer employed there. Moved.

The staff there are all nice. However, if you’re hourly, the scheduling is strict, at least in the role I had. Couldn’t even be 1 minute late. So that sucked. It was hard. But the staff was nice, the culture is friendly and lively, the pay is decent. If you take care of the company and work hard, they’ll do the same. 

Good benefits management is supportive as an employee I highly recommended this company to work  people whom I work with are hard working and pleasant
