I had a phone call with a recruiter at the corporate office in Brentwood and then a follow up Zoom interview with a manager for a marketing position. Both went really well; the manager himself said that he liked me and was hoping his supervisor would agree and move me forward. That was three weeks ago. Now, look - rejection is a part of life. It’s fine to select another candidate. What’s unacceptable is not returning my emails or phone calls for three weeks. I reached out to the recruiter and to their general HR contact on their website. Nothing at all. It’s like they don’t exist. Interviews are kind of like first dates - that’s when everyone is on their best behavior. So if that is how Brookdale treats their candidates, then I can’t imagine how they must treat their current employees. There are plenty of competitors to work for. I will not be applying here again.

When I interviewed for the company, I instantly loved the atmosphere of the company. Everyone was so fun and upbeat and seems to all get along. The interview was not intimidating and that made the experience way more relaxing. They did not try to trick me or ask me if I was a color what color would I be.
