Stressful Workplace
There were very few employees available to help and in certain areas of the workplace, it could get a little chaotic, so you need more than one worker on base. The most enjoyable part of this volunteer experience was getting to know the seniors who lived there.
Official response from Seasons Retirement Communities

fun place to work
Seasons is a fun place to work. The residents have constantly been an real joy to interact with. Work is steady but could be stressful at times but overall a very relaxed place for staff and residents
It was ok I guess
The people were great but don’t work casual or you could be out of work for up to 2 months waiting for a call when I did get a call it was to ask if I was still working there! They didn’t even know
Pros
Great people
Cons
Unreliable work hours

9 March 2020Thank you for your review. That is a frustrating experience, I am sorry. While it's no excuse, we are transitioning a new management team at this community, which may have contributed to the confusion. Your feedback will help us ensure this doesn't happen again in the future.

Horrible, money before safety
started Nov.4 2019, fired Feb.11 2020. I thought I found my dream job. It was a complete nightmare. I was told in my interview that I was the first one called for interview. when asked about salary expectations, I low balled myself at $22 hourly just to get in the door and show what I can do. It was stated to me that it is a management position so I will be compensated as such. upon my hiring they offered $20.51 hourly salary based on 37.5 hours weekly. With hesitation, I accepted. I showed up on my first day and did computer orientation then the chaos showed. the one who hired me was on holidays It took until day 3 when i found out we didn't have a GM. I was given nothing to start. I found a tool bag and a cart, nothing more. the dining manager was the one to give me a tour of the building and find me keys. upon conversations with employees, I found out that many people were interviewed and given the job offer but refused do to the low pay for such a position. Our new part time GM started about 2 weeks later to say I am not management. I received my first pay for the first week. when it came time for my second pay there was no deposit. I waited at work that day for about 3 hours for them to bring me a $100 dollars for now just so I could get fuel to drive home. the next day they said i'm supposed to be punching in and out on the time clock. that's why I didn't get paid. I informed them I was told I was salary and nobody showed me the the time clock. it was stated I am not salary, i'm hourly. I worked long days for the first 3 weeks and only got compensated for 7.5 hours a - more...

Terrible Gm
Terrible GM and HWM always behind closed doors. GM never available for the frontline staff.Very unorganized and unprofessional. No help ever from hwm. Lots of working alone at times.

high paced rewarding company
More than a job - working at a property is more of a family with residents
There is purpose to what you do everyday in how you interact with residents and the reason why you do them

they dont know how to treat their employees
it was absolutely horrid, unreasonable, management was atrocious, they don't know how to treat their employees in bad personal situations that happen at work. definitely expects too much out of employees for how they get treated by management. I definitely would not recommend working for them. if hired don't expect much from them.

Was a bad experience
I would not recommend this for anyone. i worked here for a short ammount of time and witnessed some bad stuff come from management when they need to fill in the gaps because they cant keep anyone

9 December 2019Thank you for leaving a review. It's true; managers are expected to assist their team members whenever needed, but I am confused about your implication that we have high staff turnover in the dietary department, which simply isn't the case. If you would like to clarify your concerns, we would appreciate hearing from you at inquiries@seasonsretirement.com.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Reanna.

Not all its cut out to be
Working here is great for experience working with the elderly. If you are looking for job advancement, go somewhere else. Everything here is by seniority as well, so it doesn't matter how hard you work, you won't get much recognition for it.

Great overall
I loved working at seasons. The staff were great and i loved the job. The problem was the hours. They dont give many. The majority of employees are part time.

Official response from Seasons Retirement Communities
13 November 2019Thank you for your review, though I'm very sorry to read that you feel this way. I strongly disagree with your claim that Seasons does not care about its employees' mental health; We have programs in place to address mental health concerns that demonstrate the contrary. We are committed to supporting team members who show a commitment to their jobs and our company. We wish you all the best in the future.

Very very bad place to work
Poor management. Treat staff badly. Always short staff. Nurses and HCA work double per shift compare to most other assistance living. Management never help staff.
Pros
Residence
Cons
Management. Work load. No values for staff

Decent company but low pay
Friendly, fun place to work. Low pay for the type of work. This causes some staff turnover. If the pay was higher in all departments then staff would be more inclined to stay.

I loved working here. My co-workers were Great. I loved all the residents. Management however was very rude. Management sucked needless to say. I really enjoyed working here but would never work here again due to how I and others were treated and bullied by management.
Pros
Loved the residents.
Cons
Very bad management.

Very poor work place
Very low pay rate for nurses than anywhere else and too much work, even though you have 5year or 10 years of experience.. some staff doesn't have any clue what they are doing..🤔
Pros
They offer food with low pay
Cons
Very low wages
An inviting and supportive workplace environment
Having been with Seasons Wetaskiwin for one year now, I can truly say that it's an amazing place to work. The management team is incredible. They support you as an employee whether it's regarding your experiences on shift, or difficulties at home. They are always available and willing to help. Along with management, you have the opportunity to work with outstanding people. Your coworkers make it so that you feel supported while becoming a strong team along the way. Last but certainly not least, our residents are unforgettable. The employee-resident bonds that are formed throughout all positions at Seasons are ones that create the positive, welcoming, and supportive environment. I look forward to every shift, all thanks to the amazing people who work and live at Seasons Wetaskiwin.
Pros
Amazing management and residents

Messy management
During training I was encouraged by the manager to skip the training videos and try to do the quizzes without watching the videos to speed up the process. Hands on training wasn't done with any management but with other confused workers who don’t seem to completely know whats going on.
Management only releases schedules randomly, leaving younwith little to no notice of your upcoming shifts. After they make the schedule they changehours without informing employees.
The residents are wonderful but I would stay away from this place if you are looking for job security and a place to grow with. I can see why this place is constantly looking for multiple employees. (Cant keep anyone due to work loads and low pay).

Low hours - Poor communication from management
This place is a revolving door for employees and it's easy to see why. The management expects way more from you than reasonable due to constantly being short staffed. The pay is minimum for the job even though they boast about having competitive wages on their job postings.
I have seen management talk rudely about residents in staff only areas, but of course are always friendly to them.

12 August 2019Thank you for your review. We will use your feedback as an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to excellent customer service. However, we were not able to substantiate your claims about a 'revolving door' in the food service department. It is always our goal to be fully staffed with motivated, right-fit team members. I'm sorry you feel you had a negative experience. I wish you all the best.
