Short and Badly Managed

Pros

You can learn a lot from this company that interacts with a lot of clients in a lot of different sectors. People skills will be honed here and you can affect people's lives in myriad ways.

Cons

Leadership is essentially nonexistent. Training is short and low on institutional knowledge or training paths. Company values are the the bottom line ONLY. Even to the point of exaggerated services to clients. The profit model is built on providing a service that no one knows to use so that the company served can legally cover itself. Lowest cost bidder model.

Worst Job I've Ever Had

Pros

I made one of my best life-long friends here, despite the soul-crushing environment.

Cons

Where to begin? -Our team was micro-managed and chastised about time wasting, despite my boss taking multiple personal calls throughout the day to chit-chat with her husband about movies and television shows. -The company itself offers horrendous "benefits." Here's a real-life example: I had to tell a woman she was denied coverage for not having pre-authorization to take an ambulance—she was unconscious in the back of an ambulance and because she physically was unable to call our company to ask whether or not she could take the ambulance, which she was ENTITLED TO, we flat-out denied her coverage for it. -Who uses a punch-in/punch-out system for salaried employees? What a distasteful joke.

Pros

Very cool location. One of the first things they tell new employees during orientation is that employees will receive a Rolex for working there for 10 years and a brand new car for working there 20 years. The CEO has box seats at the United Center and free passes to the Field Museum for employees.

Cons

ComPsych appears to be an amazing company when you first start working. People (co-workers) are friendly and enthusiastic and constantly rave about how wonderful it is to work there. Bottom line- ComPsych does not care about their employees, which is strange, because it is an Employee Assistance Program. ComPsych is strictly a business. It is a huge, and very successful business, continuing to grow, despite the fact that they fire people at the drop of a hat and have no compassion or empathy. They only care about their "accounts"- CocaCola, McDonald's, AT&T, etc. and how much they are getting paid by them, thus labeling some companies as "VIP." They claim that there is lots of opportunity for promotion, and this is not true. The salary was actually the lowest I had experienced, and the benefits were not good. Before accepting a job here, I would advise every person to read these reviews and think very carefully about the type of place this really is.
