Pros
It is better than being unemployed, but as a career decision similarly financially reliable.
Cons
In some Avamere communities the budgets have been cut so drastically, due to principals not paying attention to their business resulting in overall financial trouble, that quality has been extremely diminshed. This includes everything from food to employee quality. The residents bought one thing and are being delivered far less. Avamere thinks nothing of firing long term managers dedicated to their business, and bringing in those just out of college at a minimum wage or part time. Last year home office fired 30- 40% of the employees. This has been a tough couple of years for all buinesses due to economy but Avamere prinicpals like to point to employees as responsible for declines. If you end up working for them, just know that your dedication and hard work will not be appreciated and your head will likely be, at some point, on the block...the corporate personality has been likened to being one of Henry VIII's wives.
