Pros

The mission is meaningful, and many employees genuinely care about the clients and caregivers they serve. There are talented people throughout the organization who work hard and do their best despite significant challenges. Remote work flexibility is also a positive.

Cons

The company struggles with consistency, accountability, and communication. Priorities frequently change, decisions are often made without considering operational impact, and employees are expected to adapt with little guidance or support. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism. Opportunities, visibility, flexibility, and influence often appear to be driven more by relationships with leadership than by performance or results. Employees are not always held to the same standards, which creates frustration and damages trust. The organization relies heavily on employees to compensate for process gaps, staffing challenges, and system issues rather than addressing root causes. As a result, burnout is common and turnover remains a challenge. Frequent restructuring and shifting priorities make it difficult to build momentum, retain institutional knowledge, or execute long-term strategies effectively. Employees are often asked to do more with less while receiving limited transparency around decisions that directly impact their work. For a company that depends on dedicated employees to drive results, there is often a disconnect between leadership messaging and the day-to-day employee experience.

Toxic Culture and Out-of-Touch Leadership Overshadow Any Positives

Pros

Mission-driven work with the potential to make a meaningful impact on clients and their families. Some incredibly talented individuals at the ground level who are passionate and hardworking. Flexibility in certain roles, depending on your manager.

Cons

Out-of-touch sales leadership: Senior leadership is far removed from the day-to-day realities of sales teams and local market challenges. Decisions are often made without consulting or considering input from those actually doing the work. Blatant favoritism: Promotions and opportunities are consistently funneled to a small, favored group regardless of performance or qualifications. This erodes morale and fosters resentment. Culture of bullying: Leadership—particularly at the regional and executive levels—often uses fear, intimidation, and public shaming as "motivational tools." Constructive feedback is rare; criticism is often personal and demoralizing. Lack of support: Expectations are sky-high, but the infrastructure and support systems are outdated or disjointed, leaving teams to fend for themselves while being micromanaged at the same time. High turnover: Unsurprisingly, this environment leads to constant turnover, which disrupts team cohesion and creates ongoing instability.
