Thank you for your time working as part of our team. Sometimes all of us can get a bit grumpy, but hopefully you also met some of our amazing residents, and got to have lovely interactions with them. We encourage you to share your observations about a cook with management so we can address any issues. Best of luck to you.

Pros

Give good perks such as PTO, Christmas presents, usually voted best place to work and they then will hold a drawing. It's a very rewarding job. They offer career paths for every position so you always have room to grow and earn a little more

Cons

The entire environment is very clique based stemming right from top management. Employees are divided into different positions in different buildings and witness managements behavior and then imitate. Do yourself a favor and ignore all of it and remove yourself from the situation you'll be much happier. Management is not very understanding of life changes.

Pros

There are absolutely no pros to this place. Ok, I know some other reviews on here are saying the nurses you encountered treated you bad but I have never came into that encounter so guess that can be a pro. Also the pay was decent.

Cons

I didn't like the management that they had there. They were ALWAYS understaffed and wanted you to pull a double (3p-7a) and then come back at 3p the same day and continue your shift. Also they wanted to keep 1 aide on a hall that had house lifts and catheters and everything else. When I'd ask for help the other CNA'S would ignore me so I had to actually go ask nurses for help and if they weren't busy they'd help me. I never thought that I would have come into something where someone at the same level as me would treat me like that but I guess there's always surprises. Also, I got a severe sickness in January of 2015 and they knew that when I got hired, but they were very rude about taking into consideration of how I felt day to day and how sore I would easily get. (They thought I had rheumatoid arthritis) so overall I didn't like this place whatsoever and definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ever.

Country Meadows tries our best to staff well, and staffs at a higher ratio than required by the state. But sometimes issues arise with co-workers not doing their part, and we do try to identify and improve those situations. In cases like you mention, we strongly encourage co-workers to call our anonymous compliance line created specifically for co-workers and customers to share concerns and ideas anonymously. That way we can use the information to look into the situation and make changes. Thank you for being a member of our team and best of luck to you.
