Working at Senior Resource Group in Santa Barbara, CA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Santa Barbara, CA Area

"I'm Sandesh Pawar. I was a busyboy at Maravilla Senior Living in Santa Barbara, CA, from 2005-08. I wish i never worked there. Im a short Indian guy, at the time I had a lot of mental problems and didnt take care of myself so i became a big target for the lowlives here. I worked with the dining/kitchen staff. Half of them were incompetent employees and just terrible people. I started off kind of the same but eventually got better. I was bullied a lot and since I worked hard the low lives here would take advantage of that and make me do nearly all the work and even mock me about it. Before the last few months here I got at least two death threats. I eventually quit w/o warning because i had a meltdown in my life but i did leave the boss a message. The residents weren't bad. The manager was ok but he kept hiring incompetent people, and from reviews from around the internet it looks like not much has changed in that."

"Hired in my senior year in high school to work with dining/kitchen staff. I wish they didn't hire me or fired me fast. I am short, was mentally ill and didn't take care of myself until my mid 20s, which made me a target for the bad people that worked here. Dealt with tons of discrimination and harassment. It was bad in high school but kids are kids and i was bad too. A little after high school I switched to morning-afternoon shifts. The coworkers were a lot better but still targeted by a few coworkers, especially when the high school kids leaked over from the evening shifts. I worked hard and when i worked with these bullies they took advantage and made me do most of the work. I forgot as much as i remember my time here but i know i got at least two death threats before my last year. I deserved some stuff for how I was but I dealt with too much. I still have some psychological scars from my time here. My last 3-4 months I had a meltdown in my life and quit without warning but i did call and leave a message. I got terrible at my job and lost my mind so i don't know why they didn't fire me then. No problem with the residents. They can be really fun to talk with. The manager was ok, he could tell a good joke, but he did hire these bullies. This place should be a lot better by now and hopefully their hiring process can screen out incompetent people."
