Pros

Generally friendly environment. Quite flexible in terms of lunch hour or going to pray. Free food sometimes.

Cons

Management is cheapskate. High expectations of new employees but refuse to pay market rate. They rather good employees leave than increase pay. Slow to hire new staff. Some homes have been short staffed for YEARS! No concern on staff wellbeing. Feedbacks given by staff who left are not worked on. Exit interviews are just formality for paperwork sake. Staff are burnt out. Homes do not have proper professional support to manage a residential home. CEO is a micro manager. He wants to control everything but due to his busy schedule, everything gets delayed waiting for his approval. Too many approvals and departments to go through just for 1 item/service. Many high potential staff left. Office politics are disgusting. Talking behind people are the norm instead of talking and discussing issues professionally. Weak middle management unable to make decisions bcos CEO micro manage.

Pros

The work is to assist the less fortunate.

Cons

No work life balance. The current CEO and President for 2024 is clueless for running the organisation. Honestly, I prefer the previous ED. She is very tough but she has made significant changes for the organisation IPC and employees benefits and salary revision.

Pros

- Building rapport with residents can be really rewarding - More off days with 12 hour shift - In house meals - Outings

Cons

- Micromanaging boss who will not be on the floor with you, not empathetic to operations matters, pits employees against other employees or employees vs residents with statements like "So and so has come up to me and mentioned this about you", throws the whole section under the bus if not up to the supervisor's standards, butts in mid sentence to talk about her experience etc - HR is condescending at times. Replies emails in a way that makes you feel like you're a big bother to them when asked about leaves or pay (and has not replied my email regarding my leave balance for two months now, even after a follow-up prompt) - In house meals not consistent with taste - Minimal pay for emotionally and mentally taxing role ie difficult residents, difficult boss - Career advancement NADA. Senior role more recognition, otherwise you're just a small fry. - No support for education; company will not support your studies even if it aligns with social work.
