This was a complete joke. Was told i would work one shift, then waited while they tried hiring 2 new employees for that same shift, completely ignoring the advances from inside the company. All you get is promises. The HR person is not the sole HR person. U will be EXPECTED to be on call, the bad part...ur on call consists of working an entire weekend during the days and being on call in two different states at night. Driving 3 hours at 3 am in the morning is a high probability. But they will always promise new help is coming....that is after one of the sales people does the hiring. U WILL WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPOSED TO COVID19 DAILY. DONT THINK U WONT. And please expect to be used. No admin will chose to work on weekends (bc they did it 15 yrs ago when the company was smaller, so they FULLY understand lol, NOT.)  The best part of this place is your fellow coworkers, ur peers are pretty great people, until they leave too. All in all, its a great transitional job, but this one is NOT Career worthy. And u will not have a weekend wo being asked to work bc someone was smart and called in sick so they can actually see family. The office folks are nice and there are people at the omaha location that are some of the best to work with. Always ask for more hourly here...ur work will be worth it. Also do not expect to know what each department does. They send drivers out w very little to no training and remember...when its crummy outside, ur delivering heavy beds and medical equipment off of a small box truck...they do not up keep vehicles past blow outs and oil changes, just hope for a newer truck.

● Work-life balance
This place is terrible. The workload is so overwhelming and the pay does not match the workload. The management does not care and are very clicky and are not at all good leaders. They back stab and
Will always be looking to fill positions because nobody in their right mind would stay here for longer than they had to. Nobody wants to be overworked, under paid, and unappreciated.

● Overall
You will be over worked, underpaid, and unappreciated in every way. Management is terrible. They are not helpful and always acting like they are just to busy (avoiding issues). They are clicky and will stab you in the back. They put an overwhelming amount of work on you and then on top of that pile even more on you at the end of each month. They are underhanded and will always be looking to fill positions because the fact of the matter is the poor work environment starts at the top....and trickles it’s way down. Nothing positive about this experience at all. If your desperate take it until you can find anything better at all.

Overall the experience with those I worked with was good, my coworker helped me out and we did our best. But ultimately we were handed the short end of the stick, between absurdly long hours, lack of personal life outside of the job, and an obscene expectation to work everyday for our location, all while having no solid structure of management made the work environment unruly. The job in of itself, helping people, was great, but the company at the time of my employment not so much, more than likely it was a lack of communication to the owner on how things were going for my location so no fault to him, but the chain leading up to him is something to consider. All in all, the pay is decent if you don't mind being there for most of the day, the people there are great to work with if you get to know them and make sure you know where to draw the line. I have been informed that the work environment from my location is improving so if you love helping people in trying times, consider it.

The saddest thing about working for a company that rents equipment to hospice patients, isn't the job itself. It's management. When you're working in a row of cubicles and trying to answer your phone every time it rings, and yet you can hear the phone also ringing on both sides of you but these people can't be bothered to answer it due to the fact they're: not at their desk, on a private call, texting, shopping, eating, playing games or even napping. These same people are making the same wage as you. There are no consequences for bad behavior, excessive absences, unprofessionalism.
This place is disappointing

All of my orders are received by email.  I start my day by unloading equipment pickup the previous day and then loading my vehicle with clean equipment for the day.  I usually don’t have a lot of contact with my supervisor on a daily basis as he is located in Omaha.  I usually only hear from him when he needs a favor from me or when he want
to talk about something that needs clarification. The hardest part of my day is the long hours driving alone and delivering the equipment to terminally ill patients.  There really isn’t an enjoyable part of my day except the smiles and thanks of the patients.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working on your own with little to no supervision

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Routing orders, in a timely manner. So there is time to complete by 5pm.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Strong team support and good family atmosphere 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start at 9am load your truck for the days orders, route your services. Return to the shop as needed throughout the day to restock or return equipment. End day around 6-7pm.

Everything seemed good at first with the team, but within a month the job starts to get to you. A month literally feels like a year because of the poor structure of how you get the job done, the drama throughout the company, and the neglect/poor decisions from management. I only worked there for a year, but it felt like 10. The paychecks were nice at first, but in the end it isn't worth trading in your soul.

The St. Joseph Mo warehouse is has a great atmosphere. Management cares about you and understands we have a life outside of work. The work can be demanding at times and you will work some long hours. But the paycheck is nice. It's a small warehouse so everyone gets along great and has a great relationship with it's customers. Overall wonderful working environment.

The manager of the warehouse will move stops around to make sure everyone is doing their fair share and gets home during normal hours.

I was told I would be paid $15.57 for being customer service representative. However on my first day of the job I was told I would be taking on two other positions without being compensated fairly for that. I took a $0.98 pay cut and it's much farther Drive than I wanted. So all in all it's a lose-lose situation. What is making me change my mind to seek out other positions? Simply that I was lied to about my pay rate and job description, AKA many job descriptions upon my first day on the job

Great company to use as a stepping stone. Corporate is detached due to not being familiar with the area and will set unrealistic time goals for drivers. Safety is not a concern for this company, just the bottom line is the main focus. There will be 0 work life balance as a driver and will be made to work holidays, no matter how long you’ve been with the company. I saw a lot of favoritism and nepotism amongst leadership. If you’re just starting out, without a family, and like working long weeks then it’s a good place.
