Tradition Senior Living

If you’re looking for a job, do NOT choose this location. Worst management team I’ve ever worked for. Schedules are put out only a week at a time so no two week schedules here, plus when they are posted, it is 1 day before the schedule ends. Example it could be Thursday and you won’t know what you’re working that Friday which is 1 day away. Set days off are not a thing here. Switching shifts or finding coverage for a shift you cannot make due to emergencies or personal reasonings is looked down upon. Manager labels it as “making your own schedule” and they “cannot have that.” So if something comes up yes they will maybe allow a shift change but be sure to know that you will come back to work with a write up waiting for you. A good manager is someone who can lead and teach their employees, you will not find that here. Instead of coaching their employees they’d rather choose discipline every single time. A lot of write ups are labeled as “poor job performance” which can range from you not polishing every glassware, walking too slow during dinner service, or just whatever they feel like they can pin on you at the time. Mistakes are not just mistakes here, they are fatal to your job. Every one I worked with at the tradition truly fears their employment status every single day. Perfection is expected out of the employees yet management team remains inconsistent, gives out constant changing information, and most of the time they are not even on the same page with each other. One will tell you something then the next moment another manager will say something different. The main team bonding discussions between coworkers are the ones where we are discussing things like being micromanaged and being talked to like a child who hasn’t worked a day in their life. Seems to be a new rule or mandatory way to do something every day. My only regret is not cashing out my pto before leaving (they don’t pay out pto so you have to use it while you have it)

I want to express my gratitude for the incredible support provided by management at The Tradition. Their exceptional leadership, effective communication, and quick problem-solving skills have made every challenge feel manageable. Their organization, time management, and bilingual proficiency create a reliable and efficient work environment. Despite their firmness when needed, management always balances it with understanding and compassion, fostering a positive team dynamic.
As someone who used to work here, I deeply miss the strong bond we had as a community. We also hands down had one of the best directors you can find out there which to my years experience working with that director was a life changing experience I learnt so much thats made me the worker I am right now .The management team, coworkers, and residents were not just individuals we were a family who had each other's backs. The warmth and appreciation from the residents made every day meaningful, and the support from both team members and management created a collaborative and supportive atmosphere that enhanced our work experience.Overall, working at The Tradition has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. Feeling supported by both team members and management, and cherished by the residents, has made it more than just a workplace it's a community where everyone thrives.


I am talking about Assisted Living on Prestonwood . The management is a bunch of unorganized and selfish people I have ever met in my life . I am talking about the food and beverage department. They will push you to edge and not care about you or your personal needs . If you tell them what days you can and can’t work they won’t take that into consideration at all . They will overwork you and not care at all .  They are the reason their severs are leaving and their the reason why they can’t keep anyone . Don’t get me wrong the work is easy is just the people you work with make it hard . Their all smiles and giggles but in reality they are backstabbers . They are messy and will talk behind your back . They will not appreciate you at all they say they do but they don’t . Their the same ones that depend on their team but will talk mess about their own team . They don’t care about the residents at all . They talk bad about the residents and that’s sad coming from them . It’s not right these residents are the ones paying for care and what they get back is just garbage . I would never put any of my family members here . They don’t take into consideration their dietary needs . Their cheap in that kitchen a bunch of penny pinchers . I don’t recommend working here . You have been warn . 

I worked for the Tradition Prestonwood as a Watchman for about 9 months. During which, i watched TWO entire teams of people be replaced whole. 14 people. 
They have an insanely high turnover rates and its honesytly no wonder; Management is a mess. Poor Quality Control. The caregivers steal. The employees rarely if ever do their job correctly, Maintenance is practically useless, and corporate seems to have no idea how the place is run
When I was hired I was shown places that I could nap during my job. I was never shown what to do during a fire for example. 
There is no order. No procedure.
And Worst of all? They lie directly to you and your families faces' when they say they have 24/7 security. ALL NIGHT assisted living is empty except for immigrant african nurses whom are imported bc of their price. 

In Short; you are served a poor job experience with a bow ontop and a smile. 
If I HAVE to say something nice; They are pleasant people. Residents are sweet and  I grew to love them. Benefits arent half bad, The christmas bonus is on average about 1300 (straight from the residents; not a company bonus.).

Do not work here. If you do, let it be a learning experience and stepping stone.

A typical day of work consisted of cleaning before and after  the shift. Understanding the menu of the day, and setting up for the residents to arrive. I've worked at a company like this before, so I was already familiar with the way things worked. The hours were just longer, which wasn't bad because it meant I was making more money. Management always tried to be people's friends instead of actually doing their jobs. It felt kind of cliquey at times. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the residents. Some of them could be extremally rude, which can make it difficult to serve them. I did enjoy meeting some the residents that were pleasant. After working there for a year, started to realize why most of the workers were stressed. considering I've worked at one of these establishments before and didn't like it, but went into this one with a positive attitude. Unfortunately, the negative aspects started to appear, which changed my view point of the company. Most of it had to do with management, and the constant having to do other people's work who weren't reliable.

In my personal experience, The Tradition offers employment opportunities in the service industry in Food& Beverage, Concierge, Healthcare Workers, Marketing, Social Services, etc. Security, Drivers, Housekeeping. My time with the staff has proven to show friendly teamwork, under fully supportive executive staff. 
The pace at The Tradition remains upbeat, fast, productive, with high standards, fully committed to the care and classical-traditional home environment of The Tradition residents and their families and guests.
Upward mobility is unlimited with perseverance and commitment. Wages are fair and competitive. Take the challenge of a top team in the Dallas senior living community. Employee benefits programs equal or exceed those of other facilities in senior living genre. 


I love working for The Tradition. Being locally owned and operated is a plus. There are opportunities to grow for those who put in the work. Tradition is big on promoting within which is a plus for all employees. I enjoy the relationships I have built with residents and their family members. This company feels like family, we help each other when needed. Senior living can be hard and is not for everyone. However, it is very rewarding to go home each day knowing you made a difference. Many team members that left, end up wanting to come back due to the work environment and support provided. Management cares and has recently raised the rates in all departments to be competitive and increase quality of life for all employees. I highly recommend working here if you want to make a difference alongside great people. 

~ Professional intense micromanagement from the CEO + spouse all the way down
~ Sr. Management and officers sift through your computer and emails VPN’ing in and out of your daily work leaving you feeling violated and untrustworthy 
~ Sr. management and officers monitor all employee activity from the corporate office over a very sophisticated video surveillance system
~ Sr. management and officers do NOT lead by example nor do they exude their own core values
~ Right hand of Sr. management and officers does not know what the Left hand is doing
~ Beauty is ONLY at the beginning, once inside, you can see clearly that the organization is a shallow incestuous back-biting group of insecure quasi professionals
~ money buys a nice façade but the inner-workings are rotten

Overall
My experience working at Tradition Senior Living confirmed that it will be difficult to recruit fine dining servers.

I worked there for 6 months and let me tell you, It was a very unprofessional, messy, gossiping work environment. Management was a big part. What type of management goes behind each employee’s back and asks SPECIFIC “favorite employees” that were brought from previous facilities that the “directors” came from, about the character and work ethic of other employees? So you ask a care partner about another care partner’s work but you don’t bother to ask the “charge nurse”???  “‘Management” would speak very badly about  employees on the phone to other employees. I personally had a “director” be very unprofessional and talk very badly about another LVN to me on the phone. This was the first and last time I would ever allow myself to work in a toxic environment like that!
