Be cautious choosing to work here. Results don't outweigh office politics. There are a few entrenched entities that have immense pull. I grew our occupancy from 82% to 94% in 8 short months and was still let go over vague reasons. This was in July and I've debated leaving a review. However, I think it's important to share my experience. There were some good things about the position. All in all, they expect a tremendous amount out of each person especially in leadership and there is little support from corporate.
