Pros

LOVED the co-workers in my local office. Enjoyed meeting and interviewing candidates. Loved the feeling of placing someone in a job they liked.

Cons

Management in Houston was a joke. Nepotism everywhere--all of the owner's kids have "VP" or "Director" in their job title somewhere--including the recent graduate whose sole job was to send out recipes and health emails. Constant emails from senior leadership about how liberals are evil and how liberalism is a mental disorder. Enjoy super long prayer at team meetings? This is the place for you. One member of senior leadership is quite obviously abusing alcohol. The organization internally is quite xenophobic, likely only slipping under the EEOC radar because of the fact that they employ a large percentage of women, and because they can report the temporary employees they place in their count. A person was deemed "not a fit" if they were obviously not a Christian. I saw great people get quite obviously shunned because leadership didn't agree with their lifestyles or circumstances. Absolutely zero room for growth, especially if you didn't attend church regularly and play the game with senior leadership. Pay was waaaaay below market, even with experience. You were expected to be on-call always...not going to happen at such low pay. Hikes in our insurance premium were blamed on "Obamacare". Mistakes made by accounting when calculating insurance premium contributions were somehow then held to the employee's responsibility to pay back. One member of senior leadership raised her voice with me and spoke to me in an extremely disrespectful manner because there was a stain on the carpet. As I am not a janitor or the building maintenance manager, I was not aware that I was personally responsible for carpet stains. At that point, I was done. I have a great HR background and have had a great job since leaving Meador. No one deserves to be treated like dirt wiped off the bottom of a shoe, and that's exactly what Meador leadership will do if you're not a WASP.

Meador Staffing Response

Thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts together and provide feedback about our company. Know that we do take these issues very seriously and this is a learning effort on our part to navigate change, so thank you for your feedback to help guide us. I am sorry you have these feelings about Meador and your time here was not as positive as we’d hoped. Thank you for the opportunity for us to learn from some of these things you point out so we can move ahead a better workplace. We are currently—as we speak—addressing many of the things you touch on in your review during the reinvention and restructure of our company. With our company culture and employees in mind, we do think of the future and the leaders of this place that has served our communities for almost 50 years. We hope for 50 more and strive daily to create a future for this place that is 100% for the people we serve and employ. The wellbeing of our employees is a high priority and we have made changes internally to support that by listening to what it is our employees desire from working at Meador Staffing. Meador is a family-owned business that draws life from the Christian values it was founded on; those are two things that are no secret to those who join the Meador Staffing family, nor are they things we shy away from. They are the cornerstone of the bigger picture of what we do as our core values. However, we want to be a workplace and an environment that cultivates, fosters, and keeps a safe space for employees, where they feel they are supported in the teams they serve and as individuals no matter what their beliefs are. We are disappointed Meador Staffing was not able to meet your expectations as an employer and wish the best to you in your current role.
