Pros

Can wortk credit hours; decent pay

Cons

I have worked here for over 20 years: - Promotions are based on (a) if a family works (or worked) in the building, (b) you are friends with a manager, (c) you clear cases off a list, even if it is done wrong. - If you haven't had a promotion in 5 years, you never will. - All excess work loads are dumped on the Benefit Authorizers - Mgmt asks for ways to improve the system, then immediately gives you reasons why the improvements can'tbe done - Leave requests are not done on a true seniority basis - it is done on a "roster system". The list was recently re-ordered and based by seniority, however, a 2-year employee can still bump a 30-year employee.
