Mayflower Retirement Community

The Mayflower at winter park has been a job that’s given me its ups and downs. When I first started working there it was a great place with friendly faces and people. But over time that sentiment quickly lost its value with a majority of the staff showing their true colors. I worked as a server and occasionally tended the bar, and despite my experience making drinks in the past I was never recognized for what I could do. I put in countless hours going above and beyond for the company, staff and residents yet in return I received pennies. Despite the obvious favoritism between managers and staff, the managers were respectful (most of the time) and understanding but only when it benefited them. It was my higher ups who failed to treat me with the respect I tried so hard to earn. I felt disposable, I was underpaid, and spoken down by my higher ups to every time I voiced an issue. My smile that I worked so hard to keep was eventually replaced with a distaste for the company that I once trusted so. I’m grateful for the opportunity that I was given, but cannot overlook the fact that I never had the opportunity to grow there and was chained down, manipulated by corporate jargon and most importantly ignored when I voiced a once previous harassment. There a few shining stars in that dark void of a company. And some of my co-workers are people that I only wish would find someplace better as they deserve better. I would not recommend this job as a long time investment. But it’s a good place to start if you are in need.

What is the best part of working at the company?
nothing, no management to help. only procedures on paper. try them in action. no annual evaluations. ask for time off months ahead and get denied. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
no additional help.  ask the staff to do more work than they are capable of for pennies in their pockets

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
at times hostile as patients are from the mayflower community and think when they are in rehab they are entitled to more than the other residents.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
busy with no additional help to be found. during a code you have to leave the floor and go downstairs to the kitchen hallway open a door and activate the intercom to have additional staff assisst you at night. they say that this their home and they shouldnt have to hear overhead pages. what a waste of time. hope its not your loved one needing CPR!!!!!

The Mayflower was  always a respected place to work and it was very difficult to get a job. It was a place you had to know someone to get an in. However after the new CEO took over things began to go downwards. Us employees felt like we were not cared about and it was only about money which we were not compensated fairly for either. A sad 2% raise yearly was not even enough to cover inflation. All their time is now focused on building and expanding but we can’t even take care of what we have already. Short staffed and underpaid and under appreciated. 

The management at this organization exhibits clear favoritism and often relies on stereotypes without making an effort to understand employees as individuals. Success and job security seem to depend heavily on personal connections rather than merit. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for team members to be scapegoated to protect others. Additionally, a particular member of the HR department displays unprofessional behavior, often acting in a rude and disrespectful manner. There is a concerning pattern of bias, particularly toward employees of color, which raises serious concerns about equity and fair treatment in the workplace.

Growing up I heard about The Mayflower and was told it was  "a great place to work" when interviewed.  
Although I enjoy working with senior citizens, I'm leaving soon.

Staff throw each other under the bus regularly.  I have seen amazing coworkers treated unfairly and disrespected by supervisors or managers who lie or twist the truth afterwards.  Employees who stick up for themselves become the bad guy or get in trouble. 

This Mayflower has taught me not to judge a book by its cover.  The most unlikely organizations can foster the most immoral and poisonous work environments.

The job is easy and mostly laid back. Very good job of your are going to college, or your very first job. Working with the residents can be very frustrating at times but with care and knowledge you can easily deal with them. ALF care which is where I currently work at is for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia. They give you courses on how to properly work with three types of residents but with no pay increase. It does get very stressful at times for all the work I have to do. It seems I am underpaid for all the care we are supposed to give. Other than that it is a really laid back job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had great teamwork and my Boss was very professional 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I personally didn’t experience any stressful situations with this company 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Various and we respect each other 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work nights but for the most part we give reports on our residents and then we check them throughout the night. Teamwork was great

This company will try to take advantage of you. Give them countless hours of earnest hard work and receive pennies in return. Major lack of communication from management to actual workers on a daily basis. Leadership positions handed out based on favoritism, not team efficiency or merit. Management staff is disrespectful and only out to cover themselves when things inevitably go wrong.
The actual work isn't too hard, everything surrounding it is. 

The Mayflower is a great facility to work. The employees are from all walks of life. No racial tension are noted there. It can and could be a great place to work with better management. However, I have enjoyed my working experience there, but feel it is time to move on as the travel time to and from work is far too exhausting.

At this job i was able to excel and advance and make connections with all the residents. Their are good benefits as well. However this job can be stressful at times due to poor management and lack of communication. I quickly noticed how disorganized this job is which is probably a huge reason why they are short staffed. The pay is not equal to work and there is favoritism amongst the staff.
