Pros

Pay is resonable, decent vacation/ benefits package

Cons

The work environment at the corporate level is highly stressful. You are expected to stay late without much notice as though you don't have a life outside the building. They quote that they are a "family oriented" company which is purely a marketing ploy. New ideas for improvement are seldomly welcomed. They are set in their ways with little to no open mind to change. They tend to contain fires rather than extinguish them. Their operations remind me of water. Follow the path of least resistance. If you are a professional and one that believes in doing things the right way I would look else where. This is not a place for a career but rather a job. Something to get you by.

The service co-ordinators are all on a power trip.

Pros

NONE AT ALL. As long as you kiss their butt they are happy! They treat the workers like crap!

Cons

They lie! Work you to death and then crap on you!

Pros

Addus is truly for those who wish to "help" those in need of care.

Cons

This is much more of a quota driven sales job than one would be led to believe. Unfortuantely, the company does not offer any formalized sales training and the branches are left to figure out the market on their own with general tips and advice from Chicago HQ, where the presence and mechanisms are much different. A C-Level leader explained to a group of agency directors (during orientation) that "there was no place to go from this job"; a disheartening statement, at BEST. Salary, matches this sad expectation, and the workload placed on the branches (given the sales goals) is unrealistic. In addition, the benefits package leaves a lot to be desired and the medical benefit is very expensive (which is somewhat ironic). The organization, although (recently) public, operates like a "Mom & Pop" entity. If you are a "professional", I would look elsewhere to advance your career; be it in healthcare or otherwise.
