Silverado Hospice- So Cal

Quote




Have been with the company for awhile, 2 years. So so at best. Unfortunately, the passion from the owners does not make it out of the corp office. Love is greater than fear doesn't exist in the field, which is a real shame. Piss poor middle management who have formed a nice alliance, are great at firing people to cover up thier own incompetencies. Just look at the number of people that have been fired or resigned.....unbelievable! The senior V.P of sales/marketing just left.....unfortunate, as he was the only management person worth his weight. Good luck MM, you left at the right time. The next person who needs to go is that arrogant "hatchet" RP and his suck up team of butt kissers.

Anyway, hope this helps and answers your questions. I would suggest another company or use this one to get your foot in the door then find better opportunities.
 












Although I am not in the Southern Ca area, i do work for silverado in another region. I have to agree with the other posters and can verify first hand the mangement at this company fires first and asks questions later. I cant remember the last time we were completely staffed because people either quit or get fired. It wasn't always this way, but has only gotten worse over time.

My advice is to look at other options if you can. I have never felt this negative about a company before, very unfortunate! I will say there are some really great peoplethat work for this company and are assets, but the middle management directors, especially at corporate are clueless.

Best of luck in your search
 








I think most of you are being a little harsh and are not representing a real picture of what this company ultimately provides for its patients and residents. I have worked here for along time and can tell you that there are always growing pains with any company. Trying to get the right people in the right positions is tough. Sure, we have made some bad hiring decisions but for the most part there are good leaders in this company. I say if you are not happy with this company and your job......go some where else and complain!
 




Really??? I have also been with this company awhile and of course we do great things for our residents/patients....duh! However, the way this company treats its employees is horrible. For one thing people are promoted into mgt positions that have no right managing people. Starting from the top with Mr V.P RP who is an egotistical ass who loves to hear himself talk. Oh ya, like we believe anything you say......what a snake. Then there is RP who has her head so far up the vp's ass she might as well be an apendage of his. Just ask her what a great job she is doing.....she will be more than glad to fill your ear. To bad she cant keep anyone working under her....what a troll. Followed by BB SM and the rest of the village idiots who all have huge ego's and do everything perfectly.....they constantly remind us how good they are......oh ya, I guess thats why our numbers continue to drop into the toilet.

This place should have a motto: EGO is greater than PERFORMANCE

I cant wait to get out of this place, although its kind of fun to watch this place fall apart.

Peace out losers
 




As a prior silverado employee, I have to agree with the majority of the posts on here. The "Ego is greater than Performance" statement is so true! I have never been around nurses/prior nurses with such HUGE egos. Especially once they were in mgt positions. Just trying to get along with these ego-maniacs was exhausting. I was also very dissapointed in the lack of support from the corporate mgt team. They were very quick to make knee-jerk decisions without all the facts. In all my years as a healthcare professional, I have never seen more unprofessionalism, back stabbing, lies and personal attacking than I did while at silverado. I am so fortunate to have left when I did. Trust me, in the case of silverado, the grass is MUCH greener on the other side of the fence! My advice is to look at other opportunities, as this company will only suck the life out of you.
 




Its about time people started speaking out about this company! Everything that was posted is so true! Its all about karma....what comes around goes around and those (you know who you are) who are responsible for treating your employees like crap will get to know karma real well. I cant wait to watch it all unfold.
 




As a former "associate" I can say that everything posted here is accurate. Before VP RP and his suck up bitch RP got their hands on the operations, this was a good place to work (at least in the hospice division). Mr. arrogant VP RP fires without warning or notice, lies and is a sneaky SOB. This company has a reputation among recruiters as a place not to send good candidates. Hospice census has dropped dramatically under VP RP;s "leadership" and the reputation of the company is badly tarnished. I would never recommend anyone work for them in a management capacity! Our city i full of ex-Siloveradoites who now work for someone else. It's comical to go to networking meetings and observe that the most common shared bond is that everyone used to work for Silverado. Their motto "Love>fear does not extend into their management office. Be afraid my friends, be very afraid.
 




Bravo and well said to the person who wrote the last post. I was hired into a management position with silverado and did I ever live to regret it. I was given no opportunity to use my skills and experience to manage my employees. I was told what to do, when to do it and how to do it. It got to the point where my employees saw me spinning my wheels in frustration and actually said they felt sorry for me. This company has the worst senior management team I have ever worked for. They love to fire people and its VERY WELL known in the industry that silverado has HUGE turn over. I would never recommend this company to anyone and would rather be homeless than be associated with this organization. Take the advice of all the posters here and look elsewhere for employment.
 




Former associate here as well. Terrible company, piss poor managers who dont care about people and senior managers who let them get away with it. Do yourself a favor and look at other companies, this one is sucks the big one!
 




The smart ones have either left or are looking! I am a liaison and do you want to know how I spent my day.....looking for a new job! This place is a joke, you don't make money, the rules are always changing and you better be carefull not to upset the administrators or thier delicate nurses. Whatever, without us there would be no business you idiots! I can't wait to give the two dumb ass RP's my notice. Good luck to the other liaisons (trust me, there are many) who are looking to leave this joke of a company.
 




I agree with the prior posting and spend at least one day a week looking for other opportunities. As long as the current management team is in place, this company will never be successful. Good luck to all in your search!
 




There seems to be alot of negativity about this company. I am looking to get into hospice sales and would like to hear the best way to do that and which company is a good one to get on with. Any advice would be a big help. Thanks
 




My advice to you is to do your research on the companies you are looking to get hired by. Ask for reps names/numbers and find out what they think of the company they work for. If there is alot of turnover, I would be very hesitant to look for employment with them. My opinion is to look at other hospice companies and stay away from silverado. They have tremendous turnover (very well known in the industry) horrible management, the company does not support each other and is disfunctional in many ways. Trust me, I worked there and experienced it first hand. Do your homework and you will be fine. Good luck with your search.
 




This company is such a joke! I spend most of my time looking at other jobs. RP and RP dont have a clue about sales and how to motivate people. RP (vp suck up) thinks she is so talented, what a joke! I think some of her vp's arrogance has rubbed off on her. She couldn't sell her way out of a wet paper bag. Back to the job boards......I mean selling for silverado!
 




As a former Associate, I was sent to the leadership training, with the whole theme being "Love vs. Fear." After a few months working there, I discovered that it was all fluff, and no substance. Our hospice office had 6 administrators in less than 2 years, and the policy of the office was those who remained were the ones who kissed the asses of the corporate management. Those who didn't were fired or left before they had the opportunity. I saw the #1 guy show more concern about someone feeding his dog people food than he did the concerns of the families for the safety of their loved ones in one of the communities that had a murder. I was never so embarrassed to work for any company ever. The truly healthy people, who had the good managerial skills combined with some humanity and compassion were the ones who were sent out, and they kept the totally unhealthy and psychopathic managers who abused their employees.

I wouldn't recommend Silverado to anyone as an employee. I have worked for 3 different hospices now and Silverado caused the most pain. The field staff were great, but were under so much stress. The management and corporate level needs to learn that when the field staff are treated well, that it transfers to the patients and families being well cared for, and the referrals coming in by word of mouth. The turnover is high, and the reputation of Silverado is not good in the community. Look elsewhere. No one deserves to be treated the way Silverado treats their staff.
 




This company is terrible. I work here because I am waiting to get something better.

Love vs. Fear was rolled out for the most part around the same time VP RP came into "power." On two occasions, people who filled legitimate concerns about current management were fired. Reps told HR complaints about how much micromanaging was being done for nurses and marketing, wrongful conduct, pinning associates against one another. The VP and VP Marketing RP came down and said "dont worry." Next week 3 people got FIRED. This has happenedd once before too! Covering their own ass is the company's only concern. In the Houston office, the same stuff goes on. I left a wonderful Oxygen company and regret it everyday.

Having been covered by PBS for the horrid neglect and wrongful death of one of our patients, just goes to show that money for the company is the one and only priority.

Stay away from petty company like this. They hire new administrators to fire people every 6 months.
