Pros

You have employment for the time being.

Cons

As you start your journey as an employee at National you have high hopes of being a part of something great. At least that is what they sell you during the interview process, but as you begin to settle in your role you start to see red flags. And every company has their fair share of typical cons, but at National you do not immediately understand where the dysfunction comes from but you see it in every department. The turnover rates at National are alarming. Many employees quit but most employees are bullied by management till they make is so the employee quits on their own or they start a confidential search while the employee is still employed then once they find a replacement candidate they find a reason to fire the current employee. There isn't any employee development or internal hiring processes encouraged. The culture is to hire external. The company doesn’t invest in their employees because they do not care to. Many of the facilities do not have proper office space, equipment, or even working equipment, or staff to fully run the facilities. They do not have tuition reimbursement at many of the facilities and corporate office. And that is a red-flag for anyone looking to grown in their career. The company is run by a private owner whose only concern is his family owned business making money, hence no employee development established in the company. The host separate holiday parties every year. One of the holiday parties is invite only to the Foxwoods casino and a skiing trip. The other holiday party is for the rest of employees not invited to the Foxwoods party, which is held at a diner. The companies atmosphere is very divided and it is felt amongst all employees. There are also a lot of protected employees that are deplorable in demeanor with very poor professionalism that are allowed to continue to work there and torture other employees. If they do not like an employee for whatever the reason, the employee who is targeted days of employment are numbered. It’s just simply a toxic work environment. I caution anyone to work at this company. If you do accept a job here, just use it a temporary acceptance until you find a company that cares about the well-being of their employees with ethical and professional standards.

Yarmouth Maine-DONT DO IT!!

Pros

Pros are that for some reason there is a small core group of nurses and aids that stay. They are the only reason at all that the residents get some sort of consistent and decent care.

Cons

Where do I start. I am currently employed as a nurse at the Yarmouth location. I would not recommend working there to anyone. National does not care about the employees or staff. Rotating door of unit managers (5 in 3 years), DON (3 in 3 years) Administrators (3 in 3 years). The only time the building gets corporate support is when the state survey is due or has had a bad review. There are workers here that have been reported for abuse and had nothing done about it. We have had 2 provider groups walk out (one of them 2x) for multiple reasons. This last time corporates answer was to replace 4 providers with one at about 1/3 of the in facility time and the only one to take call. Resident are missing med doses due to no doctor available. Residents on death bed without appropriate meds to treat them because we cannot get orders for them. You die with more dignity face down in a gas station bathroom than you do at Brentwood. As a nurse you are jeopardizing you license every day you punch in. They hire anyone that says yes. Including past employees who diverted meds (and did it again). They entice new staff with fat bonus and promises. They pay new employees better rates than staff that have been there. They take ANY admission. Most with extreme behaviors and do not provide the staff with any support of education or extra staff. They lie and cover up stuff from the state. The only time the management come out of their office is when the state is there. The only time we are appropriately staffed is when the state is there. Do your research before taking a job at this place. I chose one star because I had to.

Pros

There are some dedicated CNAs and nurses who keep working here for the love of the patients regardless of how poorly they are treated by corporate

Cons

They don’t pay their bills, they don’t fix their buildings, their idea of raises are 25 cents. They want more and more out of their staff without providing the resources for staff to succeed. They’ve cut the staffing in the kitchens to subpar levels with no consideration with the ability to SAFELY prepare food for the residents. The buildings are filthy. The only time improvements are made is when the state is in the building.
