Pros

A few coworkers genuinely try to support each other, largely because leadership does not. The mission sounds good on the outside, which is why many people join in the first place. Beyond that, there are very few real positives.

Cons

This is an extremely toxic work environment with executive leadership that has completely unrealistic expectations and no understanding of work-life balance. Micromanagement is constant, and employees are not trusted to do their jobs without being watched. Small mistakes are treated as major failures, and people are regularly let go for minor issues with little warning or support. Unlimited PTO is a complete scam. The workload and pressure make it nearly impossible to actually take time off, and the high turnover conveniently means the company doesn’t have to pay out unused PTO when employees leave. There is effectively no work-life balance, and long hours are normalized. The irony of this company promoting mental health support for students while actively disregarding the mental health of its own employees cannot be overstated. Employee computer activity is tracked, creating a culture of surveillance and fear. Breaks are discouraged, burnout is constant, and leadership shows no accountability for the revolving door of employees. If I could give this company negative stars, I absolutely would.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience felt stressful and unsupportive. When someone describes their workplace as toxic or unbalanced, that’s serious feedback and not something we dismiss. We recognize that periods of growth and change can feel intense, and experiences can vary across teams and roles. We know not every experience will reflect the environment we aim to create. We wish you the best moving forward.

Pros

Talented, hardworking, and collaborative team members who are supportive of one another and committed to doing strong work. Being fully remote allows for flexibility.

Cons

Leadership is primarily focused on profit and appearances, not people. Employees are not respected—priorities constantly shift and there is little regard for employees’ time or workload. The organization lacks alignment. Teams are siloed. It is unnecessarily difficult to get work done. Feedback is ignored. Transparency is minimal. People are let go or reassigned with little to no communication, which creates a culture of uncertainty and distrust. Favoritism is noticeable and impacts how employees are treated and evaluated. Workloads increase with no additional resources. Expectations are unclear and change frequently. Customers are moved between service levels and changes are made that negatively impact them without proper communication, leaving frontline employees to fix the confusion and frustration without support. Leadership talks about trust but does not demonstrate it. There is a clear disconnect between what is said and what actually happens. Overall, the environment is chaotic, disorganized, and reactive. It feels like there is no real plan, and employees are left to figure things out on their own. This is not a stable or supportive place to work.

Our people are a core strength of TimelyCare, and the work they do matters and is very much appreciated. We are committed to creating an environment where employees feel supported, respected, and able to do their best work. We are listening to feedback and building more structured, scalable ways of working so that navigating a fast-paced environment is more clear, consistent, and effective. Financial health is necessary to carry out our important work. Our mission to foster student success and improve the health and well-being of campus communities requires strong alignment, accountability, and trust in how we operate day to day, and we are continuing to invest in our people and leaders to strengthen that experience across the organization.
