Pros

The benefits were awesome and beyond generous!! Compensation is decent but lower if you're at a subsidiary and not corporate.

Cons

The above two stars are GENEROUS and ONLY given because the benefits are that good!!! STAY AWAY!!! Management is OPENLY hostile and rules via intimidation and fear!! ADULT PROFESSIONALS are treated like CHILDREN with SCREAMING and PETTY RETALIATION!!! PUBLIC humiliation is used to bring employees in line and personal productivity numbers are publically posted so those with lower numbers will have their efforts and reputation trashed. Writing employees up for returning one minute late from break is a waste of everyone's time!! Nepotism is RAMPANT and the more incompetent a manager the higher they are promoted to get them away from people! If you're in the inner circle you can do no wrong!!! Unethical behavior including federal violations among management all the way to the top is commonplace and when it's reported the whistleblower WILL be shown the door!!!! Integrity is PREACHED but again NEVER ENFORCED!!!! There are NO promotional opportunities for most departments and while life balance is preached it is never practiced. It's so sad that a group of very talented employees is treated so unprofessionally. Turnover in my subsidiary was 71% two years ago. Magically those numbers were "massaged" to 22%. The employees I worked with were AWESOME and TRULY talented professionals. It's beyond pathetic they're leaving in droves! I left after 10 years. I'd still be there because I loved what I did and who I worked with but ultimately had to get out when I got a headache and felt nauseated every Sunday night at the thought of walking in the door Monday morning. It was an AMAZING company when I started 10 years ago. It's so sad as I was truly passionate about how we helped our clients and patients. I still am and would go back if management improved. What a waste!!!
