The salary may be enticing, but you will absolutley work for every dime and then some. In my experience, you’ll rarely have the opportunity to take your unpaid lunch breaks nor will you leave on time(EVER).. and there is no such thing as “overtime” with this company.  Management is poor, and only care about the bottom line- not so much the patients. Don’t expect to have a voice or opinion because the “higher ups” do all of that here, regardless if you’re the one working directly with the patient or not. Sad situation, and the patients suffer most. Spend half your day in meetings and then work well into the evening trying to catch up, with no acknowledgement from management who stroll out the door at 4:00. Balancing work and family was impossible here. Be ready to go home exhausted.

This place is not what its made out to be. This is a very unorganized company that sells you a dream. Your starting pay is not $21 per hour, its actually 18.55. The rest is put on a benefit/healthcare  card that serves no purpose to you. Their management team, coordinators and HR are very unprofessional and rude. They either give you the runaround or never pick up/return calls. They genuinely do not care to help you, especially with your schedule. The app they use to give you shifts is also unorganized. Every shift is either unavailable or not safe. There is no holiday pay nor do they help reimburse you for travel expenses LIKE THEY SAY THEY DO!!! This all coming from a person who currently works here, I'm not the only employee who feels this way, the experience is shared with various employees. Please use me a primary source and DONT WASTE YOUR TIME APPLYING HERE. 

Work during the holidays with regular pay and no halftime pay as you should get by law They get away with everything No benefits Horrible management and they are deceiving so make sure you ask questions and keep records of everything you do because they will lie and say that you’re not doing your job Horrible HR that never knows what they’re doing and gives you the runaround Be aware that you will have to learn on your own without no support. Unrealistic expectations of their employees No personal time or lunch No respect of boundaries. Run if you can. 

Frequently  short staffed and no overtime pay. The nurses frequently clock out and then go back to finish documenting and paper work. Turnover of DON and management. Shortage of supplies and auxiliary staff especially CNAs. The intention for giving good nursing care is good but with frequent shortage of staff and supplies it does not always work right.

I like working here it’s easy to become withdrawn  because some of the other works no nothing about teamwork or togetherness but working one on one with the resident's makes you feel like your making a difference I don’t know a lot of my coworkers names because I stay to my self and I’ve been here for almost 5 years now but I know all 115 residents name assisted side and memory care I have come custom to staying to myself and keeping my head down and getting my work done it’s easy to do so with the residents.  

Wartburg is a special place to work.  The 34-acre campus is beautiful, the staff is compassionate and caring, senior management is dedicated and committed to mission and the residents are a joy.  I am especially proud of the Creative Aging & Lifelong Learning program that uses arts-based therapy to provide stimulation to their residents.  At Wartburg, they care for the entire person-body, mind and spirit.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Beautiful campus, President David Gatner was a great person to work with. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Covid period when it started, but after a few months we was okay. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good environment to work in. Can’t complain 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Morning report, make rounds, some meetings.

I was a student at this point and i was able to help with several different things. They had many tasks for me to do and classes for me to shadow. With the linking to the college i was able to continue my experience in a educational way with my professors being the people leading the fitness classes i shadowed. It was a great internship that helped me learn what i did and did not like in the fitness industry.

Never a dull moment as the main contact for the maintenance department of a very large senior citizen living complex.  Plant operations and keeping up with State and Federal regulations for running a nursing home are always key to everyday, as well as projects and other things that pop up.  From clogged toilets to broken appliances to leaks - keeping on top of prioritizing jobs is key.
No time to watch the clock here!  
Overall, very satisfying work.

although there is always room for improvement , my overall experience at Wartburg was great received a lot of on the job training. the hardest part would be lack of staff sometimes. the environment was friendly always kept clean and multi cultured.
