At Market Street, we believe in rewarding outstanding work, promoting from within, and building long-term relationships. Our culture inspires associates to recognize and celebrate one another’s gifts through service.
“A company’s real value is in its people. The collective values of those people become the company culture, and culture is one of the most important aspects of a business. When people love coming to work, they love welcoming new people, caring for customers, and serving everyone they meet. We strive to be a company that increases our value by investing in our people.” – Hollie Kemp, Chief Experience Officer
Whether experienced or new to Senior Living, we provide in-depth training preparing each associate to make a real life difference. Our in-house programs pave the way for associates to advance through our Career Development curriculum, and for college students to explore their Senior Living interests in our Internship program.
That is why they voted us a Certified Great Place To Work for FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS!
Our growth is your opportunity. Career Development is designed to assist associates in advancing their careers within the Senior Living industry. This in-depth, year long program directly partners associates with the Executive Director and/or Department Heads as they explore options for learning, growing, and advancing within the company. This individually tailored road map to success, includes in-house training, online education, and participation in monthly community reviews.
