Pros

You get paid to help people in their time of need, and the pay isn't bad.

Cons

When fully staffed they run things a lot thinner than at non profit medical programs but it usually isn't too bad. Lately they have been having trouble retaining employee's because they have refused to raise wages as competing companies have. As a result the current employees have been getting run a lot harder than they would be normally and are more people are starting to look at leaving. Hopefully it isn't the start of a vicious cycle. When employees sign on they are forced to sign non-compete contracts which previously have been laughed off because we don't do jobs related to proprietary information. However, management is getting desperate to keep people and threatening to take people to court when they leave. How would you like to work at a place where you feel trapped? Take great care before signing up here.

Pros

You will be compensated for the work you perform and fairly

Cons

They are wildly lacking in growth and opportunity. At the our location we are not even allowed to do our own maintenance documentation while performing work. Very disorganized in daily processes with poor communication. You just show up and find something to work on.
