Mary T Inc.

I worked for Mary T for over 5 years and put up with years of butt kissing, sneaky, lieing management and co-workers, simply because I genuinely cared about the men I worked with. If you weren't in the good graces of the program director, you will lose your hours, lose your co-workers respect and ultimately lose your job. Nevermind you were disliked before even meeting said program director. If you speak up about the abuse of the clients, the treatment of your hard working coworkers,  the unbearable work environment due to gossip, bad mouthing and cruelty of your coworkers and lead staff, or unjustly losing shifts you've had for 5 years even with documentation proving you were hired for said shifts, you will simply be fired. The "upper management" has no sympathy, care or concern. The entire pyramid of employees all look out for themselves because they know if they're not part of Mary Ts crew of minions, they will be the next to be fired.  The care and concern of the clients is a joke. Visible bruises left on a clients arm is swept under the rug, 1 on 1 hrs with clients are billed to the state of MN yet the clients never receive these hrs, clear HIPA violations and humiliation of clients in public places to an audience of several dozen numerous times,  activities and outings have completely seized since the transfer of the one decent supervisor 2 years ago, the clients sit inside from morning to bedtime starting at the tv or talking to themselves, "goals" are not run yet documented as completed, the clients have zero say over what they'd like to do, where they'd like to go, what they'd like for dinner, what they can wear, what they can keep in their bedrooms etc, but yet are charged rent on top of the thousands of dollars collected to pay for their care! And all above complaints were reported and ignored. I would love 20 minutes of Mary Ts time. The loving and compassionate woman I've heard her to be would be shocked to learn how her home is really ran!

Get in, read logs of residents and communications, touch base with the nurse, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork . . . more paperwork, making and attending appointments with residents, paperwork, direct care (my fav, really), filling open spots in the schedule, attending meetings, more paperwork  . . .

I learned a lot at this job. I worked with a lot of excellent direct care staff and learned many ways to ensure the comfort of the residents. I learned to use equiment in a commercial kitchen, improved my computer skills and learned some very effective communication skills. I learned to use a wide variety of medical equipment, i.e. standers, walkers, C-pap, etc.

This company is very top heavy. Lots of management staff, constant changes that negatively affected the job, Management was often in the dark about the goings on at the company's homes. The company's CEO was uninvolved, showed poor judgement in advancing management staff, did not address issues and had very strong political opinions. Those oppinions would stifle staff's abilities to advance in the company! 

The hardest parts of the job were lack of managerial support and the long hours. Supervisors are salaried and often wind up working their own job and then open direct care shifts. This usually occurred at the last home I worked at 2 to 3 times per week, sometimes more! Group homes never close. I would get calls during the evenings and on days off as well as holidays. 

I loved working with the very special residents in the home. They almost seem like family. I also enjoyed working with my co-workers at Camilia Rose. Very dedicated staff their!

Great place to work if you are new to nursing and want experience.
 Management does not care about any nursing staff , they treat every nurse like they are replaceable. I’ve seen excellent nurses leave because they are over-worked, stressed out, and are made to feel they have no value and are replaceable. I would say the average nurse stays 3-6 months and then they run. This is unfortunate,  the clients deserve consistent, quality care. 
You are guaranteed to be mandated to stay due to staff calling in sick.  What about the supervising nurses you ask? They work Monday through Friday so you are on your own. They don’t care if you have to work a double, no way will they actually support you and come work a shift.  And if you do call in sick you will be reprimanded. You will be required to work the next weekend. That makes sense- work with sick people but you are not allowed to get sick. 
Yes, you accumulate vacation and paid time off but good luck getting that approved. If you leave the company with any remaining vacation or personal hours you will never get that paid out to you. Absolutely no respect for nurses or clients. And payroll is a nightmare. The check stubs are confusing. For a reason!

My journey with Mary T. Inc. was a positive one.  A typical day at work consisted of analyzing what needed to be accomplished for the day and jumping right into my duties. There were many times that crisis may arise which resulted in adjusting my duties in order to handle the crisis.  It certainly had a cooperative culture as my colleagues were always open to my ideas and improving working systems as a team.  My co-workers were great as we shared a common value and which was enlivening the spirit.  I don't believe a day went by where there wasn't laughter filling the office.  The climate of the office was warm and combined with laughter made it the most enjoyable part of the job.  With that also comes some hardship of the job.  I would have to say the hardest part of my job was a heavy workload and most times not enough hours in the day to complete everything that needed to be done.  However, with my organizational and time management skills, I was able to prioritize my workload to complete the tasks that needed to be done in a timely and efficient manner.

My job at Mary T is very simple i basically help the clients with whatever they need help with, I cook, clean, administer medication, take clients out on outings, and help the clients with their ADLs. Some days are good and some days are not. It all depends on who your working with weather its the clients of coworkers. The management is horrible. I believe they should all get fired and fire new management. some of my coworkers are pleasant and some are not because they either always have an attitude or very lazy and do not do any work at all. The hardest part about this job is dealing with the clients behavior. when they flash out at you or someone else. Trying to calm them that is not easy especially when you are not familiar with the client. The most enjoyable part of this job is the clients. They all are very different personalities.They are also loving, sweet, and caring in their own way. They all have their ups and downs but you cant help but grow to love them and care for them as your own family.

I've worked for a lot of different companies over the years. I've been lucky enough to work with and for amazing leaders and owners. I've also seen the alternative. I've been impressed with Mary T's leadership style and involvement in her organization- despite the size with over 800 employees. Mary T is dedicated to the mission and values of the organization and is still very involved in day to day operations. Mary T. Inc. is truly a family-owned and operated organization- a refreshing shift from a corporate environment. My co-workers are fun and we operate with a teamwork philosophy! I don't feel the competitive work environment here as I experienced other places. 

I also appreciate all the opportunities at Mary T. Inc! They offer unique events to attend, bring in guest speakers and have scholarships available for students. My only wish is I would have found Mary T. Inc. sooner!

What is the best part of working at the company?
It is not a bad place to work. It doesn't pay very good wages and the staff seems to be not too good at doing teamwork. It good do much better in hiring those ones that really do want to work with people with disabilities and not just show up.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Schedule changes when you least expect it and the lack of notice when you have to work alone.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Doesn't have a lot of staff that are willing & able to do the work and aren't knowledgeable of the people they're supposed to be serving.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 hour days and each day is different.

I love working at Mary T. I enjoy getting up everyday to get to spend time with my clients. It's fun to be able to bring a client on an outing. Company pays for Staff to enjoy as well. The Saint's games are my favorite. The History of Mary T Inc is awesome as well! Staff get T Bills for your noticed work and you can turn them in for gift cards. You get to learn great skills in the Healthcare field. There is lots of room to advance and move around within the company as well. Mary T also provides food baskets around the Holiday season. The PTO, Sick Time and floating holiday is nice as well. I also receive 401k. I don't use the Healthcare but it is available. She also has a great Employee assistance program! Please apply!

I always report to my job in advance to get more room to settle.
I learned a lot that I used not know, each person requires different attention and I had to challenge myself do my best to see that they all enjoy my service which I succeeded .
I had the most wonderful environment both my co-workers and the supervisors that everyone one wished I could stay.
My hardest part of my job was serving more clients at the same time, but that turned out to be positive because I can now multitask as much as I can which made me used to doing more things at once.

Enjoyable part of my job was seeing my clients have the best happiest moments, I had to work for it to ensure each moment of my shift they have pleasant time.

The job itself is fun.  I had a hard time with management that didn't understand basic functions of the job and took credit for things they didn't do.  I had to take care of something for my children one day and was told to not put my residents on the back burner.  I fought hard for resident care and made many improvements while I was there.  To have something like that said when I am a single mom was uncalled for and unprofessional.  My supervisor spent very little time in the home and often said she was working from home but never seemed to get anything done.  The lady who owns it is amazing and gives back a lot to the community.  If you get into the right house with the right supervisor I have heard amazing stories come out of this place.  Unfortunately that was not my experience.
