Pros

They do employ a variety of professions.

Cons

Poor salary, poor communication, very poor benefits - if you are an SLP, you’ve worked hard for your degree - this company does not seem to value its SLPs.

Pros

- Support from case managers - 401k - Pay - Communication/Regular Check-Ins - Immediately act on any concerns

Cons

- Promised a certain amount of hours + benefits, never delivered - Was told I couldn’t switch to another case because there were no other open cases (later found out there were over 70) - At the height of COVID, I was told to go in to work when I had a cough, runny nose, sore throat & headache and “just take the test later that day”

Low pay! Crazy expectations

Career services manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pros… there were pros before we purchased the local company in Orange County, after that everything went downhill for my team, our manager left to manage another team and she is the one that held the group together. Our new manager only cares about numbers.

Cons

The pay is extremely low. I have been with SSG for over two years now and they keep telling me that I will get a raise and that hasn’t happened. It almost feels like the reason they keep telling me it will happen is so that I don’t leave. Before we purchased a local company in Orange County things were so different, they were actually great but the new management has crazy expectations and if you don’t meet your metrics of the week you are immediately put in a meeting to be asked “what you did wrong”
