Pros
My parents always told me nothing is perfect. Every relationship, every job, everything will have flaws, find the place that works best for you and make it work. I have worked in my current job almost 10 years now. Curo acquired us probably 4 years ago. I read a lot of the reviews for Curo and there are a lot of negatives out there. I get the impression though that many of the reviews are from disgruntle former employees. I'm not going to say working for Curo is perfect, but seriously, where is? I encourage anyone reading these reviews to take them with a grain of salt, even mine! My Pros 1. Fair Salary 2. Good benefit options including, insurance, short and long term disability, life insurance, 401k 3. Paid Time Off 4. Due to the nature of the work (hospice) I feel there is more compassion in the office especially when crisis in the lives of team members hits. 5. You are in the field more than you are stuck behind a desk. 6. You are able to support people at one of the most difficult times in their lives and actually make a difference. 7. Very little micromanagement with the bosses I have had, make your schedule and go! As long as your work is done, and done correctly, you are good.
Cons
1. Sometimes there is a crisis in the realm of staff shortages, which can make things stressful. That is apart of working in the healthcare field though, I worked other places before I came here, and experienced the same thing. 2. I sometimes feel that corporate is disconnected with the reality of what goes on in the field. It sometimes seems that they will often implement something with the intention of trying to make things better, when in reality it makes things more labor intensive. 3. I realize that many of the changes that corporate implements are in an effort to keep up with all the regulations medicare keeps throwing at us. They are doing the best they can to keep us in compliance so that we can keep our jobs. However this can often overwork individuals who are already under strain from their current job responsibilities. I see this mentality across all of the corporate world these days, we need more work done, in less time, no extra compensation. 4. There is not a lof of room for advancement. If you are an RN there are some opportunities that arise that can take you a few steps up (for instance, from field nurse to boss of the office, and possible a regional person), however for Social Worker's, Chaplains, Aids, and office staff, that is as far as you will go.
