Pros

The mission is the only thing redeemable about Marklund.

Cons

Horrendous leadership. Extremely toxic environment and if you’re in direct care you’ll be overworked and underpaid. Senior leadership isn’t supportive. The Chief HR Officer works offsite 2 days a week, conveniently every Monday and Friday. Must be nice! Don’t bother going to her, she’s never there and doesn’t know anything. The CEO, Gil, claims to have an “open door policy” but if you go to him with legitimate concerns, while he might listen to what you say, he won’t act on it. He’ll tell you what you want to hear to get you to shut up and then do whatever he/management wants after, no matter the consequences. They will pay extreme feels for agency staff since they have such high turnover, so you’ll never know who’s going to take care of a resident on a given day. The Administrators manage from their desk. No wonder there’s an abuse case at MHC. Google Marklund news before you think of stepping foot in this place. You can make more money flipping burgers, and would be appreciated more elsewhere too. Do yourself a favor and don’t work here!

Pros

The mission of helping the severe and profound population is the only pro.

Cons

Leadership needs a complete overhaul. Direct care staff are extremely underpaid and overworked, and suggestions to improve pay and working conditions are often ignored by upper management. High turnover in nearly all areas of the org. Bad leaders hide behind the mission but don't practice what they preach. Extremely toxic environment. Would not recommend this place to work at, and definitely would never trust this place with caring for a loved one. Look elsewhere, there are better long-term care and non-profits out there to work at that pay their workers what they are worth!!!

Marklund Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for any negative experiences you believe you may have had during your time with our organization. We value all input as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We understand that everyone's experience is unique, and we are committed to addressing concerns in a constructive and respectful manner. To address your impression of the senior management: Upper management and those in administration do have very different responsibilities and expectations than those in direct care which may not be completely visible or understood by all staff, but are nonetheless important to the organization’s operations process. However, if there is ever something of concern, Gil Fonger, our President & CEO, has an open-door policy and always encourages staff to contact him if they feel they cannot discuss concerns with their own manager. We truly wish you had reached out while still at Marklund. Again, we apologize for any disappointment you may have experienced, and we are committed to learning from this feedback, and specifically communicating again to staff to reach out to management, upper management and even the President & CEO to have issues addressed. This type of two-way communication can ultimately enhance the quality of services we provide. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
