Pros

None worth noting at this time.

Cons

Below-market pay, regardless of experience. Negotiations are effectively stonewalled. Pay errors are handled poorly and dishonestly. My pay rate was reduced without explanation. When I reported it, I was told it would be corrected in 3–4 business days. When that didn’t happen, the timeline shifted to 7–10 business days. Weeks later, the issue still had not been resolved. I was repeatedly told it was “fixed” when it clearly was not. Chronic communication failures. Upper management routinely says they will follow up and does not. Promises to call back, investigate issues, or coordinate with site management go unfulfilled. Job expectations are misrepresented during hiring. I was told certain duties were optional, only to be informed on-site that they were mandatory. This suggests either severe internal miscommunication or intentional misrepresentation to staff positions. Low morale and learned helplessness among staff. Many employees and even lower management openly express that upper management is unreliable. As a result, employees feel they must handle problems themselves or escalate repeatedly just to get basic needs met. Escalation is required for basic issues. I ultimately had to go above multiple levels of management to address pay and role discrepancies that should never have occurred

Cons

To get started allied hires for DES offices and Felix T. And David Deem are the main managers for this position, I recommend avoiding them at all costs. Getting hired on I explained that I have children and they gave me an upfront lie that they are flexible for emergencies. I have to take one of my children to a specialist and it is an important matter that needs to get taken care of right away to which these two deny maybe being able to take the appointment day off even though I gave them an entire weeks notice. Now they are demanding I show them my child’s appointment information or they will fire me for not coming the day of. This is not the first time I’ve needed a day for one of my children and felt like I have to fight tooth and nail for even half a day. They have lost many employees in just the last week and frankly I believe it’s because of them, how they are and how they talk down to and treat their employees.
