Homestyle Direct

This company thrives on favoritism. They will tell you they care about what you have to say but once you do they go and slam your character behind your back to the other department managers so that you never get promoted to other positions and choose only those they like most even if you work harder than the one they chose and do better at your job. Management is horrible. This company struggles to have integrity. They all gossip and talk bad about everyone and make you think you are their friend when really they don't care about you. No one in the HR or management teams speak up for the right things. They all just sit quietly waiting for you to fail
 If you work for this company you will become emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed all the time. There is no consistent foundation. As long as you don't complain and don't speak up about the issues in the company no matter how right you are then you may have a possibility at surviving and being successful in this company. 

I enjoyed this job to start off with. We did activities and had paid lunches every so often then they took that away because of the "budget" they say theyre there to help but then when anyone askes a question it gets ignored or they act like we dont need to know the answer. Management is hypocritical they say dont do this then they do it themselves they target some people over others and let some people do whatever they want without correcting them. They have all kinds of policies on how to treat the customer but dont show their employees the same kindness. Many customers have made employees cry and Management doesnt help.
If youre okay with having low standards on how to be treated and for your work then this place is for you

Monday through Friday days changed about what time to go in for working at Home style Direct, a typical day at work changed everyday or sometimes every week. you wouldn't be doing the same thing. They moved me around a lot to try different things. its a hard working place to be at so if you don't like working hard with the exception of a few breaks. home style wouldn't be the place for you. the most enjoyable part of the job was that the other employees are friendly and fun to work with. They make you comfortable and make you not hate your job. if i had an opportunity to go back there i would take it in a heartbeat. I would say it was one of the best companies i have ever worked for. Very well managed and overall a great place to work if you are looking for hard labor.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are family oriented and truly show that they care for their employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When there wasn't a set schedule for a certain department if you worked in it, so it made it hard to make any plans with your family or never knowing when u would start work and what time you would get off

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its very good for both of these topics mentioned

Management were threatening and abusive and clearly showed favoritism.  Management also showed favoritism and allowed their favorite employees to take longer breaks than allowed without saying anything to them and everyone else got disciplined for being even 1 minute late.  Management was accusatory to workers when they did not even have any facts to back up their accusations.

People are not treated equally. They have their favorites, and if you aren't a favorite then don't expect a promotion. Even if you show up for work on time, do your job, there is no stability. You can be let go at any given time if they decide they don't like you, or decide you don't fit in!

Company thrives on favoritism. HR & Management stick together they may act like they care but they don't. You are treated like a child. Not an adult job at all. You are pressured to work so much and complete so many calls daily. Its not reasonable at all. You can't talk or have any kind of fun with your peers. Get threatened to get written up and verbal warnings all the time. Pay is so low. 

Homestyle Direct is a very fun place to work. My coworkers are wonderful and help take the stress off the actual job by having fun! My managers and supervisors are very kind and understanding- but yet are still strict enough to motivate people do to or be their very best.

Processing invoices, Bank reconciliation, CSV Imports.  Developing and maintaining Excel reports.  Customer calls.  Culture was very relaxed and fun.  Billing to Medicaid we had to invoice with the different States software was difficult.  Most enjoyable developing and maintaining reports also developing and maintaining CSV imports.

I enjoy working there I do order entry and put in orders for customers, before I was  CSR we answered phones and talked to the customers. We entered there info into the system and took there orders, and sent them to different departments
