SEASONS RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES Employee Reviews
Thank you so much for taking time to write a review. I am glad to read that you feel welcome at Seasons and that you love your work! I will personally follow up on your feedback about feeling short staffed, as valuable insight from our team members helps us grow and improve as an organization.
While it is true that our sector is experiencing a worker shortage, in some instances, implementing a simple but thoughtful revision to workflows can positively affect our team members. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Jessica

I do feel that advancement, for my role personally, is limited, however, this is not terribly concerning to me at this point in my career. The other benefits outweigh this negative for me.
I am also very pleased with my direct management, and the upper level management, everyone is very accommodating to emergencies, and I feel that they truly care about me as a person, not just an employee.
I've worked for large companies, where benefits are worse, pay is worse, and management doesn't even know your name...this is far from that.
I also feel that Seasons management would help me get to where I want to go professionally. If I wanted to change gears to a new role, and there was an opportunity, I feel that they would encourage and help me get to that. This is particularly rare, as this is the exact reason I left my previous employer.
The bottom line: Is it perfect? of course not, but I enjoy coming to work everyday, for both the work I get to do, and the people I get to see, and, I know if I work hard, I will be rewarded.
Thank you for your review! I loved reading that you feel Seasons is the best company you have worked for and I'm glad that you feel supported by management. Your feedback is appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to share your personal experience at Seasons. I'm glad you feel supported personally and professionally. We appreciate your comments and your contribution to our organization.
I can see that they invest in their employees and that there are opportunities to grow with the company. Salaries would need to be raised to catch up with market limits.
Overall, I love my work experience there.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I am happy to read that you are enjoying work-life balance and that you have found the atmosphere to be welcoming and helpful. You're right- there are many opportunities to grow within our organization, as we believe in rewarding the efforts of our dedicated team members. Thanks for your feedback.
Management has no experience, makes rules as they go, are sketchy, don't follow their own rules, don't know what's going on, and above all, do not care about staff and care ONLY about appearances.
They are ALWAYS short staffed, call you on your days off all the time to cover shifts that no one ever wants to cover. Working short staffed is very difficult as a nurse supervisor trying to ensure everything is done correctly, even when fully staffed, the evening shift is hard to get through as so much needs to be done in so little time (especially during emergencies).
I don't recommend this job to any nurse, it is draining, not worth the little pay and bad benefits, and unrealistic expectations set on you with no gratitude from management.
ALL employees HATE their job there.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Feedback from our service team members, good or bad, helps us to measure whether or not we met our goals as an employer.
While I'm sorry to read you did not enjoy your time at Seasons, I must correct your bold statement that all employees hate their job: this is simply not true. We have a wonderful group of dedicated team members who love coming to work each day to make a difference in the lives of our residents.
Our wages and benefits are competitive, and while it is true that our sector is facing worker shortages, we are working diligently as a company to attract and retain exceptional service team members. I'm sorry Seasons wasn't the right fit for you. I wish you the best in your future endeavors,
Jessica

I see from your post that you are a former employee. I work in our Employee Services department and I personally read and respond to all reviews left here on Indeed. I'm sorry to read that you feel you had a negative experience working at Seasons.
We care very deeply about our team members and what you describe is not in keeping with our goals for a supportive work environment. I wish you had felt comfortable using one of our many channels of communication while you were still employed with us. Perhaps then we would have had the opportunity to turn your experience into something more positive - like that of most of our team members who report feeling fulfilled by their work, supported by their managers and in love with what they do.
Thank you for your review. I wish you all the best.

I highly recommend for job seekers to try and sit down. Have an interview with the company. Im not the type of person that relies only in reviews or hear-say. Go (have an interview or check the company itself) and experience it yourself. (The General Managers are ultra nice!)
If you have passion for helping the community and seniors. Don't hesitate to send your CV and be part of Seasons.
I'm happy to read about your positive experience at Seasons. I agree; candidates should apply to Seasons today and ask us how we ensure our team members enjoy work-life balance, feel supported on the job and love what they do.
Thank you for your review!

Thank you for your review. I'm so glad to read you've had a positive introduction to your new job. Welcome to the Seasons team!
My position is very demanding but also very rewarding. There are many perks to working for Seasons and many opportunities for advancement.
This company is very rewarding in the fact that you are appreciated, working as a team and are recognized as a value to the company and not just another number filling a position.
Seasons as a company has some very great core values and a culture the ROCKS. They are very engaged and personable. They make you feel like you bring something to the table and can offer valid input.
The wages are suitable for the demographic area and we are rewarded as employees on a regular basis.
This is a fantastic company and career!
Thank you for your review! I’m so glad you love working at Seasons. We appreciate your commitment to our company and to the residents you serve each day.

Thank you for your review!
I was glad to read that you were happy to be part of our team and that you loved working with us. I noticed your comment about the long shifts, and you're right, we do have some 12 hour care shifts. As you noted, we provide a longer span of days off, to ensure our team members have balance and enough time to recharge. Thank you again. We wish you all the best.

The hours are mostly evenings & every-other weekend in my position, but it works well for me!
I have never worked in a place that staffed so many genuinely caring people - it is very refreshing and beautiful.
So far my experiences with management have been nothing but positive. It seems that most members of the management team have quite demanding roles, and experience elevated levels of stress on a regular basis. That being said... the moment it comes time to interact with residents, there is a softening that I have observed from every manager - a caring interest in improving the resident's days through personalized, genuine interactions.
I'm still getting used to the frustration people feel when dementia effects in their perception. The good weighs out the harder situations we have to deal with, by far.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I loved reading that you feel you are surrounded by genuinely caring team members, and that you feel supported by the management team. We appreciate the work you do to ensure our residents' safety and well-being!"

This feels like home to me for so many reasons. They have the most approachable, kind, and understanding management and teams that I have ever worked with. The form of communication and way that they meet directives with everyone are second to none. Constantly evolving and improving all areas involved.
The fellow staff are so upbeat and willing to go out of their way to not only do what needs to be done go the extra mile. They provide experiences for residences that definitely make working and living at Seasons meaningful and memorable.
And the residence that we serve make me think about how blessed I have become to be influenced by this daily. The stories, the knowledge, the FUN!!!! This is a topic that I could spend days upon. We receive such wonderful feedback on a job well done.
Thank you for your review! I’m so happy to read that you consider your job a ‘dream come true’ and that you feel supported by management. We truly appreciate the work you do.
Thank you,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We expect a lot from our team members because we believe our residents deserve the best care and customer service. Let me be clear that we have a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment. I encourage you to please email me at inquiries@seasonsretirement.com so I can better understand your claim.
Thank you,
Jessica

This has the potential of being a truly great company to work for. If only someone would listen.
Thank you for your review. I assure you that Seasons is very interested in hearing directly from our front line employees and care deeply about their experiences at work. Engaged service team members mean greater staff retention and happier residents- everyone wins!
We have many channels for communication including a Whisleblower policy to escalate serious matters. I encourage you to reach out to me at inquiries@seasonsretirement.com. Your comments are vague and, honestly, anonymous online reviews are hard to investigate. I'm here to listen if you will please give me the opportunity.
Sincerely, Jessica

Also don't try and have a life outside of this job, you will loose your seniority. Management expects for you to give all of your time, be available for every shift that calls in (which is alot) and then get mad if you are not available. Constantly under staffed, high turn over rate. Training is provided sometimes from employees that have been there a while, but hardly anyone lasts 6 months, so be prepared to receive training from someone only there for a short period.
It makes me happy to read that you loved your job and that you were passionate about it. I'm sorry this feeling did not continue throughout your tenure at Seasons. As I have said before, we expect a lot from our team members because our residents deserve the best; however, we also believe in work-life balance and creating a supportive work environment for all. We continue to dedicate resources to ensure our homes don't operate short-staffed. Our sector is experiencing a shortage of qualified workers and this is difficult for everyone. Upon hire, there are standards for training that must be met. Also, you have made some claims about care. I must remind you that you have an obligation to disclose and would encourage you to email me directly at inquiries@seasonsretirement.com. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Thank you for your review! I'm glad to read that your team members are helpful and understanding, and that you believe Seasons is a nice place for our residents to live. I would like to point out that the wages at Seasons are competitive with those offered elsewhere in our sector, as are our residents' monthly rates. If you would like to discuss this further, I encourage you to email me directly at inquiries@seasonsretirement.com.
Thanks,

Do yourself a favour and find a place that at least has a little respect for the people who work there.
