Pros
I am a long-tenured employee at ComPsych for multiple reasons. First, the team I work with is top notch and we get along very well. For me, this is a deal-breaker. Next, my manager is actually interested in my opinions and trusts in my abilities. Believe me; it is not easy to find leadership that is both knowledgeable and supportive. Another thing I value highly is the ability to adjust my work-life balance, especially when COVID hit. Lastly, this is a large company, so if your current position isn’t quite right, there are opportunities to move into another position that suits you better. If you enjoy being a part of a team, like making a difference in the lives of others and can adjust to the demands of a fast paced environment, then this is the place to be!
Cons
The work is fast-paced, after all, it is the world’s largest EAP company, so multitasking is not just a catch phrase, you must be well organized and efficient. This also means that sometimes you’ll need to work longer hours to get the job done. If you can’t handle heavy work load or have difficulty with organizational and time management skills, you will struggle. I think there is room for improvement within the structure of the various departments. I’d like to see more positions that promote upward mobility versus lateral movement.
