Pros

Mission and focus is on delivering excellent care to patients in need. Some good corporate leaders have been brought in to help bring the company forward. Care providers are dedicated to their work and want the best for their patients.

Cons

401k did not pass the IRS' safe harbor/non-discrimination test for HCE(not a new issue - had not passed for multiple years), therefore employer contribution/match was at risk of being forfeited in entirety. An issue that was not disclosed during hiring for those individuals that may have been impacted, and 401k match/employer contribution was highlighted as part of a global compensation package. Zero weeks of paid paternity leave. Some HR practices/decisions were not friendly to employees (e.g. PTO management). Culture had an 'us vs them' feel.

Pros

Field staff is good, especially the home health aides. Most of the nurses as well. Medical Directors are thorough.

Cons

Local management is poor. Bad communication, short staffed, take patients that live alone in bad situations with no plan for future care. Disasters waiting to happen. Employee well being is poor. No recognition for things you right or patient/ satisfaction. Nurses don’t get adequate time with patients. I
