      Not the best place to work

      Registered nurse case manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice salary, good benefits, and helpful coworkers.

      Cons

      You are watched like a hawk. Expect a call from your manager if the software installed on your computer doesn’t detect movement for 30 seconds. You are just a number. My whole team was let go during a Webex meeting where we were all muted as part of a large layoff. We weren’t allowed to ask questions and once we got off the call our manager had no idea it was even happening.

      Pros

      I worked for the company for 7+ years. Many changes happened over time and changed the company culture.

      Cons

      The company has limited growth opportunities. the company needs to hire a more diverse leadership. The company needs to be more competitive with compensation for employees.
