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.

Great Location...and that's about it!

Pros

Great downtown location (Michigan Avenue/NBC Tower)

Cons

Got let go one day with no warning - had been given a raise only a few days prior and was performing very well. Management can turn on you very quickly. Since there isn't much room for growth, if you're the kind of worker looking to move up - you won't find it here. Management is extremely fake -- & there are a lot of games that are played. Pay is extremely low, barely liveable on your own in the city...barely.

Pros

I made great friends there. The location is right down town. Great restaurants are in the area.

Cons

The location does not make up for the feeling of being taken advantage of. They only pay the very minimum that anyone could except and make it seem like there is so much room to grow when really there is none. The CEO boasts how he made his fortune by charging people more for therapy because of the location of his practice. He has this same mindset with his employees. The pay is low and barely enough to make it living in Chicago. The benefits are expensive and minimal. They force people into working overtime. they take on more clients before hiring more people and creating so much more work for all employees. They have no respect for their employees and treat them as dispensable objects. They are the worst place to work ever. do not let them fool you. If you do happen to get promoted, you won't get a raise for 1 year of being in that position. they will add so much work to your plate and you won't be rewarded for it for 1 year. DO NOT WORK HERE!
