The review posted by this previous employee is appreciated. This individual would have been eligible for paid vacation days based on his or her tenure, therefore any decision not to take a vacation would have been made solely by the individual. It is true that vacation time is not paid out upon termination in states that don’t require it; we regret that this individual was not aware of that policy, and that he or she feels it is unjust. However, we feel it is important that individuals take vacation time, and we encourage them to do so. Unfortunately, we can’t alter the policy based on the confusion or misunderstanding of an individual. Based on the nature of our company and the location of accounts, it is often necessary to relocate. I am not certain of the particulars in this case, since the review is anonymous, however, it is true that relocation is sometimes necessary, every effort is made to accommodate individuals regarding where and when to relocate. It is also recognized that this individual appreciated the good pay and communications. HHS is a solid and successful company with hundreds of salaried management positions, offering long-term employment and advancement opportunities for those who successfully embody our mission. We are committed to supporting work-life balance, which can be difficult in our industry. Our executive group is in the process of seeking out additional ways to help promote work-life balance and ensure appropriate support and resources for all of our team members and leaders throughout the organization.

Pros

Family-owned business with a large organizational exposure. Offers great pay and benefits with ample career advancement opportunities. I really enjoyed working for all the HHS leaders that I reported to. The company has maintained the family-owned feel as they grew.

Cons

These are dependent upon the customer/contract that you work under. As a contractor, you work for the customer and not HHS, and it's not always the local facility. In the healthcare sector, there's no work-life balance. You have to be all in all the time. Staffing is often really tight with extra-large expectations. Again, this is not an HHS reflection but is dependent on the actual contract owner.

Pros

Some hardworking people throughout the organization that are supportive and care.

Cons

Executive leadership lacks alignment. Priorities change constantly, communication is inconsistent, and there is little to no strategic direction. It feels like pure chaos all the time. The organization has grown faster than its infrastructure. Corporate teams are expected to support the company without the staffing or resources needed to do it well. Chronic burnout is inevitable when leadership continues to praise operating as a "lean team." Employees raise legitimate concerns, including concerns about leadership behavior, yet nothing changes. Accountability seems to depend on who you are rather than what happened. Favoritism and nepotism are blatantly obvious. If you're not part of the inner circle (or family), don't expect the same opportunities or support. Benefits continue to be stripped away, annual raises are minimal (2% or less) with no clear explanation for how increases are determined, and there is no transparent bonus structure. This was the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced. If you're considering working here, I'd encourage you to look elsewhere.
