Rigorous Background Check

Pros

Great benefits. Company culture is ok, if not a little disorganized. The company has a great on-boarding process; and it's apparent that employees do matter here, to a certain extent. But depending on your specific department, middle management can tend to be extremely unprofessional.

Cons

Middle management is a glorified version of a babysitter. If you're expecting a career path, you'd better not rely on middle management, as they tend to oppress innovation and stifle your growth. Exempt (salary) employees are held accountable to a strict 8 hour schedule, despite the company wide weigh/grade scale between NonExempt vs Exempt employees for yearly reviews. Exempts are weighed 0% on "Reliability", per company standards, but if you're unfortunate enough to land yourself a babysitter of a manager, you'll be reprimanded (publicly) just the same. Because you're dealing with healthcare laws and regulations (i.e., HIPA, PHI, etc.), expect to be hindered by lots of bureaucratic red tape.

Pros

great employees and environment on the staff level

Cons

incompetent leadership, just do some research; they failed their last audit due to that/negative review. leadership is more worried about watching their own back and their own job security than getting the job done. If you are overqualified this is Not the place for you PLUS dont even think about getting your foot in the door to move up...they DO Not hire internally. And Pay! They used to be at least competitive; these new people in HR are cutting salaries left and right. As well NEVER go to HR with issues or problems; they will ensure you will be laid off or the first one out when the time approaches... HR is very LAZY un-proactive, always spinning the blame back on the employee. THIS IS A TYPICAL ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS WHERE EVERYONE IS ON THE TAKE; MUST PLAY THE CORPORATE GAME OR YOUR TIME WILL BE LIMITED
