Working at Ensign Group in Mission Viejo, CA: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Mission Viejo, CA Area

"Executive directors are forced to understaff their facilities while being threatened with job loss if they don't fill the place, even if it means admitting and maintaining residents needing more care than the assisted living community can provide. Executive directors are worked to death and do not have any support staff. Executive director is also the receptionist, accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales and marketing, business office manager, human resources, maintenance, and also answer call lights and work in the kitchen.. All this in 12-plus hour days and constantly being threatened with termination if they don't keep the place full. No thanks or appreciation is given. Like his dad did in the nursing home business (Beverly Enterprises), the guy at the top at the Ensign Group, is buying up all the assisted living facilities he can find across the U.S. The Harmony Assisted Living communities in WI were on the verge of bankruptcy when Ensign acquired them last summer. All Ensign wants is 'heads in beds' and pressuring the facility administrators to do that any way possible. These facilities are forced to admit and retain residents with multiple in-depth medical needs that the staff is not able to care for. So-called core values are a joke, just a smoke screen to mask all the unethical business practices. Most of us are smart enough to see through it."

"I have worked for Ensign Group, Inc. for about a year. It's a good company, huge in size - employees around 10,000. HQ is in Mission Viejo, CA. Has a lot to improve and can definitely be a lot better."

"I've been treated with nothing but respect since joining the company 6 years ago. The company really does value their employees and strives to live the CAPLICO core values. The only thing that stops people from having a great Ensign experience is when certain individuals choose not to live them. But we are given every opportunity to."

"Ensign is an average large company. For such a large company, I expected more competitive pay, better benefits and more opportunities. I found that they do not invest in their employees nor do they give all the tools needed to do the job."
