A typical day at work for office personnel is staring at a screen for four hours, taking a lunch, then staring at the same screen for another four hours. While average for any office job, I was heavily discouraged from taking breaks. I was not given the proper materials to complete some of my tasks, though multiple people requested that I receive them. I was sat at a desk that was not located in an office, but in a common area, while other people walked around me and enjoyed their own offices (empty ones were extant, but not offered to me) and even worked in the same room as a major construction project. Newer hires than I, even those who worked my same position, were immediately given offices upon hire, with the construction project being to give some of them brand new offices (again, empty offices were extant).

My lunches, while I was originally told they were able to be taken at any time of day, so long as it wasn’t the very beginning or the very end (although there were a few people allowed to do that anyways) were randomly regulated to a two hour window because I did not answer emails at the time I took lunch. 

The workplace culture, coworker-wise, was great. I would adore working with most of my colleagues again if given the opportunity. However, I would not ever choose to work under the managers again. I never met my official manager (I believe a single email chain and three texts were exchanged, all of which happened after eight months of work). The manager I answered to knew minimal about my job and I had to learn on my own or through other coworkers. 

One of my in-laws began going to church with the manager I reported to and, though I was assured they never spoke of me by the manager, my in-law would speak of my inter-office friendships or of aspects of my job that there was no other way to find out. My middle name was given out in this manner, as well as other personal information and there were threats from one coworker to enter my employee file and pass other information to, again, that same in-law. Though both incidents were brought up (no official report was taken) with members of hr, there were no steps taken for the latter and I was fired a week and a half after bringing the former. 

Please, if you can, avoid working at this company.  Although they offer PTO and a 401k, you MUST use your PTO for company holidays otherwise, you won't get paid.  The company only matches 6% of the 401K ONCE a year.  If you decide to leave the company, they will not pay your remaining PTO until the END of the year.  There is absolutely no room for advancement.  Once you are hired on, expect to be stuck in the same position for however long you find yourself there.  I can see why people stay though because no one is actually held accountable to work so they can do whatever they want, when they want, without the consequences.  The company gets audited on a regular basis.  The management is absolutely terrible.  If you are on the lower tier of the company, the CEO will take WEEKS to get back with you, or have someone else do it for him, but if you are higher up, he will respond to a text message within minutes.  I'm not sure why they hire so many people to do one job when they could pay one really good person a good salary to do the job.  The work culture is terrible.  There is constant drama, no one wants to do their job and they expect others to do it for them.  You'll find yourself being warped into doing job duties that aren't a part of your actual job description but they won't compensate you for that.  The company has yearly reviews and yearly raises, but they don't pay the raises out.  Management finds excuses not to give their employees raises.  If you aren't high up in the company, you can forget about being treated well.  The turnover rate is extremely high but if the employees were treated well, I believe this could be fixed.  This is the most unethical company I have ever worked for and I advise you all to steer clear if you can.

A typical day at work:
A typical day involved traveling to patients’ homes, completing visits, and documenting care. The workload could change unexpectedly, and communication was often unclear about expectations or schedule changes.
What I learned:
I learned how to adapt quickly to new patients and situations and how important organization is when working independently in the field. Unfortunately, I also learned how poor management and lack of communication can negatively affect staff morale and patient care.
Management:
Management was inconsistent and often focused only on numbers rather than the quality of care being provided. Several employees, including myself, were terminated without notice and later told to reapply if we wanted to keep working there.
Workplace culture:
The culture felt unstable and stressful. There was little support or appreciation for the employees who worked hard to provide good patient care. It seemed like management prioritized paperwork and visit counts over teamwork or staff well being.
The hardest part of the job:
Dealing with the uncertainty of job security and trying to provide quality care under constant pressure to meet quotas.
The most enjoyable part of the job:
The most gratifying part was working directly with patients and making a difference in their day-to-day lives.
Overall:
The pay is below average compared to other home health agencies, and the lack of stability and respect for employees makes it a difficult place to work. I would not recommend this company or choose to work here again.


Proper management and professionalism does not exist here. This was such a horrible environment to work in. Extremely toxic folks. The amount of drama that was there was unnecessary. There is ONE good person in management. The other’s are horrific. The holiday’s are a JOKE. You must submit PTO and use your OWN PTO for every holiday or any holiday pay. The company has many write-off’s, audits, missed visits, and the patient care quality is not something that I stand by. There is absolutely no room for advance and the pay is SUCKY. IF you want to live to pay bills only and live pay-check to pay-check then THIS is the job for you. You are set up for failure from the beginning with little to no training. You are expected to do multiple jobs and only be paid for one and if you’re not happy about it then you’re absolutely wrong. The raises and incentives that are promised are RARELY or NEVER paid out. You are constantly wanted inside of the office instead of doing your actual job and if you’re not in the management’s face 24/7 then they turn you in for simply being out and doing your job. The turn over rate is so high, understandably so, I’m surprised I made it as long as I did. The company is full of unreliable people.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Close to home, nice manager, nice office. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My position Clin Sup. I was disappointed with:
1. Focus of Field nurse/organization on quantity of visits over quality.
2. I, as Clin Sup, required to do patient visit when co-worker exempt. Often given outlying patients to help Field Nurses have patients close together but caused me to fall behind on work.  
3, No pay for Field nurse for the time it took to drive to see outlying patients. 
4. I was told I could go part time but my work load was not reduced- creating a very stressful last 4 months. I was told I could be a field nurse part time or PRN.
5. I applied for PRN but the wage compensation was unacceptable. I was called by the Regional Director to apply again. The second offer as bad or worse than the first and I wondered why I was told to reapply. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Talent leaving the company and a feeling of chaos trying to cover other rolls.

This is my second time around with Mays!  I left, thinking that it was for the best. I worked for another branch of home health.  I learned a lot while I was gone.  I also realized how much a solid, secure and stable work place Mays is.  No job is perfect. Some days are more stressful than I would like but working as a team, we get the job done! 

Excellent instructors.  My first instructor has been with the company several years. She was very patient explained each step and is still here today if I have a question. 

I schedule out nurses and aides and therapist. The hardest part of my job is finding someone to cover if one of the nurses or aides is unable to work.

I look forward to coming to work.  I work with a great bunch of people. 

So glad to be back!! There's no place like home!!

Their new company logo should be #$, all they care about is numbers/patients and money THEY make. Its quantity vs quality with this company. Boss has said several times "home health isnt for everyone" when coming to them with complaints, After I've worked home health for over 12 years. Get copies of everything you sign when hired because the contract expires and you can never refer to it when needed. You have no clue who you work for to many chiefs but not boss enough to give raises, holiday, pay, etc just boss you around and make comments like "nurses are a dime a dozen" that is not someone I want to work for and definitely not a company I would stay at for long. Hard lesson learned, please do not work here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The patients

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Scheduling process unorganized from day to day. Training was minimal at best. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The DON was very busy but always made herself available if needed. Nurses were very friendly and eager to help if you needed anything. But the Atoka office was short staffed and because of this training was not thorough. Scheduling was very unorganized. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic. Schedule changed frequently making difficult to plan your day efficiently. Mileage reimbursement was a joke so if you had patients 30 miles apart several times a day it was frustrating.

upper management makes decisions without really knowing lower staff positions. takes forever to get training for new jobs. nurse turnover rate is horrible. nurses don't actually do some of the visits but they mark that they do. marketing turnover is horrible because if you don't get 10 new medicare people each month they will fire you. most patients don't need home care but upper management will fire you if you lose too many patients. if you don't exceed job expectations they tell you your job is at risk. it really is a bully system here. upper management prefers to pay attention to the numbers instead of training and raising people up with positivity.
