Stopped paying staff

Pros

There isn’t any. This place is a joke that takes advantage of it’s hard working staff. Stay away! You have been warned..

Cons

This company purchased Great Lakes Caring in 2018. Since then I have had countless co-workers get fired due to “budget cuts.” Today was supposed to be our regular pay day and unfortunately they can’t pay us anymore as well. I have stayed hoping that things would improve after the merger but sadly that hasn’t been the case. My PTO was cut, my health insurance DOUBLED with less coverage and today they didn’t even pay us. The worst part of that is they won’t even tell us why or give us an answer on when we will be paid. I can’t believe I have stayed this long, shame on me for trusting this once great organization.

Thank you for your review. We did communicate with staff regarding the payroll administrative error on 2/1, and our payroll team worked diligently to ensure all staff received their direct deposits on their scheduled pay day. We understand the inconvenience and frustration the situation may have caused, but rest assured that was an isolated incident. All staff received their paychecks and will continue to do so on their regular pay schedule. If you have any additional concerns, please reach out to your human resources team.

Changes keep getting worse

Pros

Front line management and staff are great

Cons

New "merger" which seems much more like a buyout keeps bringing more changes, none so far have been good. Upper management does not communicate changes to staff, at all. Field staff are just winging it and hoping for the best. Benefit premiums more than doubled for worse coverage, with no warning. They cut PTO and stopped allowing PTO cash out with absolutely no warning in advance
