Going down hill
I am a resident at Scenic Grande. When I moved in a year ago, the management company was Rivera, and they were doing a good job. Most of the employees were full time with benefits. They were happy and we were happy. But then Cogier took over the management. Almost immediately, they began cutting back on staff hours to the point that they would not have to provide benefits. This made it impossible for valued staff to stay and we began to lose activities. When we complained, we were basically told it was not our concern. At a recent town hall, Matt, the regional manager stated three times that they were actively searching for full time staff. When I asked why they hadn’t kept the full time staff in the first place, he talked in circles and ended up blaming the union. Aleks, our manager, came away from that meeting realizing there needed to be better communication, and she has instituted a Friday morning coffee with residents. This is a big step in the right direction. There are many new people moving in, but staff hires have not kept pace, meaning the remaining staff are working harder. I like my little suite, the building and grounds. The hallways are wide and well lit. But the management under Rivera was far superior to Cogier. They are interested only in the bottom line!
