Pros

-Of course the clients! -Some really nice people in corporate (non-management)

Cons

-good pay but NOT for 24/7 - remember 'salary' means no overtime. And no extra time compensated off when you work all weekend -terrible communication from CFO downward to his minions, some new questionable VP in Pasadena, newly formed local positions of "Directors" who are no more than client care managers who've been there to long and needed a title boost. -lack of honesty and integrity from Corporate "management" -competitive co-workers, no trust at all. It's every person for themself, all the time - you have to watch your back. This sucks btw. -very high turnover in many offices -unreal drama. All the time. -power tripping managers who have no idea how to manage -profits always come first, "do whatever it takes" is the attitude which means sever your integrity because your job could depend on it -newly appointed "Directors" are a joke- they care about one thing only: $ and how many clients you have that week -since even before December last year, changes have been incredible and not exactly for the best. Too bad Dr Kathy sold the company - it's spiralling downward and fast. it's out of control despite pep talks and BS motivational pitches here and there FYl bay area Home CaRe Assistance offices are owned by Corporate office (525 university Ave, Palo Alto) Glassdoor doesn't accurately reflect that this is a HUGE company, not one office in Bellevue. They started in Palo Alto but now have 100+ franchises and own outright all bay area offices and several in southern CA too. Maybe some are better than others - do your homework!

Pros

The mission is meaningful, and many employees genuinely care about the clients and caregivers they serve. There are talented people throughout the organization who work hard and do their best despite significant challenges. Remote work flexibility is also a positive.

Cons

The company struggles with consistency, accountability, and communication. Priorities frequently change, decisions are often made without considering operational impact, and employees are expected to adapt with little guidance or support. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism. Opportunities, visibility, flexibility, and influence often appear to be driven more by relationships with leadership than by performance or results. Employees are not always held to the same standards, which creates frustration and damages trust. The organization relies heavily on employees to compensate for process gaps, staffing challenges, and system issues rather than addressing root causes. As a result, burnout is common and turnover remains a challenge. Frequent restructuring and shifting priorities make it difficult to build momentum, retain institutional knowledge, or execute long-term strategies effectively. Employees are often asked to do more with less while receiving limited transparency around decisions that directly impact their work. For a company that depends on dedicated employees to drive results, there is often a disconnect between leadership messaging and the day-to-day employee experience.
