Pros

There aren't any. There simply aren't any! Well some of the staff are nice.

Cons

This is by far the worst company ever. Management is abusive and lack professionalism . This company has poor benefits hires you under the premise that you will be making incentives but that is not true . The company decides to get rid of positions and forces employees to take on positions that they were not hired for. Then you are threatened to do these jobs or else you will be terminated from your position. This is all an attempt to save money for the company this job does not benefit its employees and lacks respect for them. Supervision for employees is poor and is threatening. Morale is poor due to the lack of respect given by administrative staff. The turnover rate is extraordinarily high due to staff members leaving positions and due to excessive terminations by administrative staff. With all this being said it is difficult to concentrate on taking care of the population that we serve. This company is an absolute disgrace to healthcare and human services and it is embarrassing to work for. Any self-respecting therapist would not even consider staying at this job after a week .

Pros

Ability to work from home, bonus money is decent, and overtime is pretty abundant.

Cons

Cons: Management showed very little compassion or flexibility during serious medical situations. I was dealing with severe spinal cord compression and kept my supervisor informed every step of the way. My doctor’s appointment had to be rescheduled due to a tornado threat, and the physician was unexpectedly out until the following Monday, which delayed my documentation. Despite being upfront and communicative, I was terminated before I could even obtain the note. Losing my job and health insurance in the middle of a serious medical crisis was devastating. The role itself can also feel emotionally draining because intake staff are often left handling upset patients and families without enough support from the facilities. I had to reschedule my surgery so I couldn’t get married and put on my Husband’s insurance, kind of sucks a healthcare company would do an employee that way!
