Dining Room Server (Former Employee) - Welland, ON - 26 April 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedYou have to be passionate about the work to enjoy working there. I found that it was depressing during COVID. Management was good for the most part, and the place is clean. Other workers weren't super friendly

So much room for improvement
Activity Aide (Former Employee) - Camrose, AB - 14 May 2022
Most management and especially head office have unrealistic expectations. The residents are the stars. It broke my heart some lack of care and lots of rules that prohibited out side the box creativity. The culture could sure use a refresher.
Pros
Is a newer building that was well maintained
Cons
Being short staffed so often. Sometimes expectations were off the rails.

Team Lead (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 11 May 2022
No work life balance. Low salary, poor management. No benefits you don’t get paid according to the experience and they don’t consider portability hours.

Management, Salary, job security
Concierge (Current Employee) - Lethbridge, AB - 29 April 2022
Seasons was not a great place to work overall. Low wages, high turnover of care workers upper management was not great. Salary workers were not paid overtime. The best part was engaging with the residents.

11 May 2022Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Seasons offers comparable salaries relative to the markets we operate in. There are also opportunities for career advancement and growth, and team members are given the guidance, training, and tools to succeed. Though we may disagree about the specifics of the situation, we absolutely agree that our residents are outstanding, and deserve the very best care and customer service. Thank you for your feedback. Sincerely, Seasons Retirement Communities
Was fun working with the residents trying to brighten their day.
Concierge (Former Employee) - Seasons Garry Drive W Lethbridge,Ab - 21 April 2022
I loved working at Seasons for the residents. Poorly managed. Must have problems hiring. Always short. Resident ratio to dining room servers very low. I worked a whole shift they were short asked me to come back and work 4and 1/2 hours but never got paid overtime. Working concierge does not say everything you are expected to do. When more residents moved in they did not hire any extra staff. Not fair to staff or residents.

Seasons Owen Sound
Concierge (Current Employee) - Owen Sound, ON - 17 April 2022
Seasons Owen Sound is the best place to work! In all my years of working, I didn't find a place that was willing to train you properly and still make you feel like your part of the team until I came here. The management is the best and I'm always willing to come to work with a smile everyday. My teammates and management is like a family to me. Everyone is always happy when they come to work.
Pros
Fun place to work
Cons
Can't Think of any

It's fast moving job. shifts 8 or 4 hr shifts. Great for student or adults. Nice,safe place to work at.
Current Server (Current Employee) - Strathroy, ON - 17 April 2022
I love coming to work, everybody from staff, residence will great you when you walk into work. I usually come to work 15/20 min early so if I see the residence I can have a small chat with them before work. Its a friendly,warm place to come to work. I was amazed how big of a place it is. I never had grandparents growing up so when I come to work I feel I have many grandparents. The residence are not just residence they are like your grandparents. We laugh, joke and yes we have some sad moments with them. You spend alot of time with them and you bond with them. For me it has been a great experience to work for Seasons in Strathroy.

Front Desk Concierge (Former Employee) - Trenton, ON - 11 April 2022
Pay was the normal government wage. Enjoyed my immediate manager n dept Co workers. Extremely stressful and to the point mentally n emotionally abusive from the "fun activities director" and couple other younger aged staff which made my first impression of the place very short lived.i would definitely not recommend anyone to work there unless u enjoy working with some people who be all accounts are middle aged and act 2 and very very unprofessional.
Pros
Concierge manager very pleasant and professional
Cons
Unprofessional behavior by multiple workers n certain manager

Rewarding and meaningfully job
Server (Current Employee) - Ponoka, AB - 30 March 2022
The best part is making the residents day and doing what we might think are little things but can be a big deal to residents and families. The management at Seasons Ponoka will jump in if we are short staffed or just need some help. In the interview one thing that sticks with me that was said is, we wouldn’t ask you do something we wouldn’t do as we are a team and it is very true! Team work is great!
