Pros

The residents. Free meals. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Management doesn't manage. Everyone is a warm body, keeping horrible employees just so they don't need to fill in shifts. We are extremely short staffed and you never see the higher ups who "would do anything for the residents", help us out. Even though we are dangerously short staffed, they strive to fill the beds, doubling our workload for low pay and zero appreciation. The communication is HORRIBLE which puts people at risk. If you see something wrong and you tell someone, nothing is done. Hence the warm bodies...

We appreciate your commitment to our team. And we also appreciate your perspective. Respect is a one of our foundation principles and necessary for any successful team. We hope you hold and show respect for your fellow team members just as they hold and show for you, with no tolerance for name calling. Any time we have had an opening in the dining department, our dining management has pitched in to ensure communication is clear, dining service is not delayed and meals are served well prepared as they too are part of the team. Our staff uses their phones to access resident information, review their related tasks and document completion of those tasks. Our staffing levels continue to remain above the state's requirements, and even during the pandemic, we were able to retain our teams while other companies were conducting layoffs or furloughs, plus offer appreciation pay to all campus staff in all roles. We value each and every co-workers' contributions (including yours) as it takes everyone to provide the compassionate care and service our warm-hearted (not "warm bodies") residents deserve.

Pros

I have been at Country Meadows for over 17 years, as have many of my teammates. One of the things I value most is working for a truly family-owned company where the owners are actively involved in the day-to-day operations. They genuinely care for both employees and residents.

Cons

There is a lot to do in a day's work, however it is very rewarding.

We are thrilled to hear that you appreciate the family-owned aspect of our company culture. When residents and their loved ones are welcomed on campus and supported by co-workers like you, they get a glimpse into how we genuinely care for our residents as if they are an extension of our own families. Like you said, it is a busy role but surely a rewarding one when we have privilege to care for our residents! Thank you for all you do and for dedicating so much for your career to supporting our residents.
