Pros

I love the location of downtown Chicago. Great coworkers, we share job postings and review each others resumes because we are all constantly looking for better employment!

Cons

FMLA Specialists are underpaid for the amount of work. There is mandatory overtime and they have everyone on salary, so you get no overtime pay. They monitor your bathroom breaks and instant message you if you are 1 minute over your 15 min break. The screen capture program records your every mouse click and they will pull you into the office if they see you checking the weather during business hours. The training is poor. As a specialist you are supposed to be helping sick ppl on leave but you really offer no help, you're a call center rep passing the buck because that is what management told you to do.

Pros

Very stable employer with many opportunities for learning and growth. Ability to work fully-remote and employer provides the necessary technology for you. Full benefits and perks provided at service anniversaries.

Like most employer now PTO is limited to start, but is more generous later.

Pros

I have spent many years in many different organizations. I can honestly say that I feel more at home at Compsych than anywhere else in my career. The work brings me into contact with peers who are extremely helpful and kind. Upper levels of management are approachable and interested in suggestions and the success of the employees. I am very happy to be spending my years before retirement in such an environment.

Cons

Contact with the public, of course, has drawbacks. There can be people who are very, very difficult to deal with. I am trying to learn how to let it go and move on.
