Matt Talbot Recovery Services, Inc.

I just resigned after 3 years because the increasingly poor management, especially over the last year due to lots of turnover, and the lack of care by the company for their patients. Managers are so hard to get ahold of even in emergencies! Corporate staff only talk to those they have personal relationships with and the owner is quick to lose temper over requests for training so we can do our jobs yelling the company can’t afford it and that we are losing money. All our lead did was ask for CPR recertificatiom for medical staff. Sounds like a management issue to me even though maintenance guys who are chummy with corporate would come around and not do anything for days just horseplay and brag about the tools at home they got from the company. The HR has gotten so bad since the head director left if you can even get ahold of them and they never know the answer to anything even when they mess up your pay which happens all the time. Such a shame because it used to be way better and focused on patient care but now the mission seems to be to run things at lowest cost, short staffed, and unappreciative of employees hard work.

Where do I begin? This company favors other employees over the ones who really work, you are forced to be burnt out and be over worked. Management does not listen to employees about anything of importance. Some employees are pretty much an extra set of legs for the program coordinator seeing how they get away with everything and others get reprimanded like children. There is always  rules changing, and an abundance of inconsistencies.  There is always y’all if employees being a team but this is the most broken down team a person can have to support them or back them up. Corporate offices are also a joke because either they really don’t know l, or don’t care about what goes in the facilities, but hey why should they? It’s not them that have too work in facilities where all the bs happens. People can get away with not showing up for shifts, talk to clients in the most reckless ways and it’s ok! This place makes you feel as if you are one of the residents. Other than it being a job- which BTW does not pay well at all it wouldn’t be so bad if they could get this mess in order.

If you are looking for a few bucks here and there without guidance or supervision then its a great place to work.  Asked about personnel policies or an employee handbook - apparently doesnt exist.  What few policies and procedures provided were either written by a grade schooler or "borrowed" from another non-applicable operation.  Obviously a company that won many contracts from the state for transitional living centers by underbidding which is passed on to the employees in low wages, zero benefits.  Not much services provided except roof and bed for residents.  They state procedures to follow but dont provide the procedures yet they want a signed receipt for receiving the same.  It is an organization doing the absolute minimum on state contracts while the money gained stays at the top at the expense of the clients and employees.  Fly by night and take the money and run come to mind describing genesis behavioral services.

The management  staff is horrible they are not for the employees. They do not want you to have a voice when it comes to following rules and health regulations. I got terminated for nothing so they call it at will.... The Executive Director all the way down to the Clinical Manager are so unprofessional and not to mention the Supervisors are so horrible.... One thing I did learn working for Matt Talbot is never let anyone stop you from using your voice and always be professional because they not ans they don’t like that... I did work with some good women on my shift... Everyone was just alike NO GOOD!! Oh yeah I forgot to mention if your sick they could careless they still want you to come to work not feeling well....

I have never seen anything like this in my 8 years of working in healthcare. There is no structure. Clients run the facility and management is horrible. Way too many personal relationships especially in corporate. friendship and work do not mix. There is no room for growth and on top of that you work and put your blood sweat and tears only to become unnoticed and unappreciated. They do not give raises and when you put in a two weeks they will make sure they find out to scam you out of your money by any means necessary. The owner is blind to what goes on and have no interest in finding out whats going on. Run as fast as you can.

Very disorganized. The company has potential to be good but they hire anybody and have started going downhill and quickly. Maintenance goes unfinished in their facilities and houses are falling apart. They preach teamwork and which is definitely lacking and non existent. Clients are given free reign and not held accountable for their actions. Some employees work harder than others while the ones who don’t get away with practically anything and everything  Clients can be sweet and easy to work with and others are terrible and with no assistance from upper level management it makes the job unbearable.

This company is great to work for if you are looking for part time employment. I am a Correctional Reentry Specialist and have been with the company for about 7 months. There have been some management changes for the better since then. This company is friendly towards their employees and attempts to give the best reentry process for their patients. I highly recommend this job for anyone that is looking to go into community corrections.
