Working at Roberts Home Medical in Germantown, MD: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Germantown, MD Area

"This place should be a case study of how to ruin a business by hiring terrible management who then go out and glom onto every lousy deal they can turn up. It is truly amazing how stupid and clueless people with advanced MBA degrees can be. They were able to drag this dying beast through an accrediation, which is required in order to bill insurance, and now all of the employees are waiting for another layoff. I do not expect this company to be in business a year from now."

What don't you like about working at Roberts Home Medical?

"This company is a complete nightmare that is rapidly heading for bankruptcy. Although a new president was hired in April there has been absolutely no change in the absentee landlord management style that the previous president excelled at. There are too many people just riding the gravy train and doing very little while management just messes about, trying to decide what to do. There is no focus to core business and lengthy meetings are held to decide trival matters. It even seems like the doctors and hospitals are totally disgusted with us. Any time a problem comes up it is immediately blamed on the employees. There is zero morale and if the jobs picture was better there would be a mass exodus out of Roberts."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Focus on core business, quit with the 90's management buzzword B.S., restore some dignity to working here, make sure employees have some actual time off, and quit blaming the employees for the bad decisions that management made."
