Pros

Not many to name, though I will say there was at least one senior manager that treated people like human beings, regardless of their views. Unfortunately this person was constantly worried about saving their own skin because of the hostile environment created by the owner. Outside of that, there are some really good people scattered throughout the organization if you look hard enough. The team I worked with was amazing.

Cons

So many negatives here. As a previous reviewer said, nepotism runs rampant. And those who are not family either come from church connections or marry into the family - soon after earning higher rank within the organization. The level of hypocrisy, bigotry and good ole fashioned "values" is almost indescribable. As another reviewer wrote, daily (yes, daily) emails from the owner himself about the evils of liberals, Obama and anything else outside of so called Christianity. The owner even wrote a company-wide memo (3 full pages) on how everything was going to hell after Obama was elected last term and all of our jobs were in danger. He was notorious for sending political propaganda that made even some of the less fanatical of the group uneasy. Yes, you are very clear that your company is founded and run on Christian beliefs. I hardly think that opens the door for a no holds barred, fairly hostile approach to anyone who does not fit that mold to your unattainable standards. I'm happy to be long gone from the tyranny of the Meador clan and would've left well enough alone. Except hearing that another person dealt with enough of the same to take the time to write made me feel the need to share as well. This shouldn't be swept under the rug. I saw good, honest people treated like dirt daily and everyone just accepted it as the norm. Shame on you, Meadors.

As always with any feedback, thank you for taking the time and energy to write this review. Our organization, 47 years in the making, is always looking for ways to improve upon the services we offer, culture we provide, and legacy we leave behind. On behalf of the company, I do offer my condolences that your time with us was less than what you expected, although it is good to hear you enjoyed working with your team. You mention you support issues quoted by previous reviewers: nepotism, politics, and religion. Again, on behalf of the company, I’d like to speak to those disputes you have and hopefully shed some positive light on your passionate feelings. A family-owned and operated business was a part of the vision Mr. Meador had when he created the company in 1968. Family will always be a part of the business and the family members who are employed with the company honor, respect, and work diligently to protect the family name as well as the legacy Mr. Meador has worked and fought for throughout the decades. Respectfully, the political insight the owner shares is most definitely not out of hate. Anyone who knows the CEO well knows without question that hostile, tyranny, bigotry, and hypocrisy are words that would never be associated with him. Being a business owner and seeing economic trends shift and shake, his desire is to support business and the growth of jobs. Being a business owner, he wants to see those two things protected. A healthy economy where business is thriving and job growth is encouraging are the life support of what Meador Staffing relies on to continue its purpose. Meador Staffing makes no secret that we are a Christian company. The values Meador Staffing encompass are rooted in treating people with respect, love, grace, and mercy. And, those who work for the company try to demonstrate those qualities every day; however, we aren’t always going to get it right. We pray that we come close to doing so, but we aren’t perfect. What we can do is submit an apology for making you feel that you were not part of an organization that respected, supported, or treated you with grace and mercy. Again, on behalf of Meador Staffing, I want to extend that regret to you. One of our goals as a company is to create a safe place for its employees where they do feel valued, and if we did not meet that expectation for you, we can take that in to consideration moving forward in to the next 50 years of service. We wish you the best in your current and future endeavors. Thank you, again, for your time and thoughts.
