Business Outlook

Pros

Free insurance, some great management, and case management is self-paced but facepaced. Schedule your own appts and make your own schedule.

Cons

Caseloads over 100+ people, rarely get raises, red tape for pretty much any service offered to clients. Not inclusive enough. TWC continues to dump more and more work on the counselors and assistance. Does not have a good reputation in different Texas communities. The job takes a LONG time to learn and the training department only covers the very basics.
