Pros

Offered fully remote, was able to take time off to recover when I contracted COVID. I have a really supportive supervisor who listens to my concerns and my feedback is taken seriously. Since starting at Cal Optima my work/life balance has improved drastically. Since I’m fully remote I no longer dread commuting and I really look forward to clocking in and starting my day. I feel really motivated to take on more tasks and responsibility since Im not drained from battling rush hour traffic. Amazing benefits.

Cons

Lack of training, you really have to search for what you need in order to do your job functions

Pros

Decent Benefits and pension. Pay was average. Collaborative coworkers.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations for workload and deadlines. Way too much documentation. As an experienced case manager, its very easy to drown. Uncomfortable corporate "Big Brother" culture. From not needing much oversight throughout my career, I felt my productivity was monitored constantly. ..unnerving feeling causing constant anxiety. My work for some, but not me.
