Pros

Fellow candidate nurses all very professional and we were able to comfort and give hope to one another as we went through the experience.

Cons

Was one of about 50 nurses hired and only about 2 remained after everyone was either cut from the position or left because of changing or unobtainable company quotas.

Pros

Caring co-workers, awesome supervisor and lead, thorough training, support during transition from training to work-at-home, tools provided to succeed. I honestly haven't experienced any of the things the other reviewers mention. I have been well supported since joining CareNet in November and have already earned bonus money for my performance. The job can be monotonous, yes...it can be emotionally draining. BUT...I am able to work from home, save money on gas, can be here when my daughter comes home, etc. The monthly nurse care packages are awesome - I definitely feel appreciated. Salary is fair and now that I am earning bonus money, it makes a difference, too.

Cons

Dislike the late night hours, schedule can change without notice, but I have asked for specific days off and almost always get them. I am not quite sure why there isn't a 40 hour position. 30 hours/week doesn't allow me to make up the loss of my regular nursing positioning. The work, as mentioned above, can be exhausting and monotonous.

Pros

Some of my coworkers there eventually became good friends and I still keep in touch with them since leaving, though part of why I think I became friends with them in the first place is because we hit it off by complaining about the work we were doing and how horribly the management handled things.

Cons

I'll be flat out honest here. There is no room for advancement in this company unless you are a favorite of management (especially if management finds you physically attractive. I'm not lying). In my 4+ years employed by Carenet, I saw this company grow from one small building and a couple dozen employees to multiple buildings with over 100 employees. In this time frame, I saw managers and coworkers come and go, and saw policies, good and bad, appear and disappear. What was once an honest company willing to reward good work with advancement or a pay raise, became an environment where the lead or supervisor position was monopolized by power hungry, condescending, under achieving, uneducated (several emails and print outs sent from management included embarrassing typos and obvious incorrect grammar), and flat out rude employees. The upper management, as in the top dogs running the company behind a desk and not directly dealing with the folks at the front lines (care coordinators taking phone calls), left their leads and managers unchecked, allowing them to make up ridiculous policies that made it near impossible to get your monthly bonus. At least once a month I would have an issue on a call that I would resolve using the training I was given, only to be scolded by a lead or manager for not following correct procedure based on the situation. It would've been nice to have been updated on changed policies. It would have also been nice for ALL the leads and managers to be updated with the SAME information regarding client protocols and call troubleshooting (one lead says one thing, a manager says something else, another lead says something entirely different, and my quality score suffers even though I did exactly what my training told me to do). Coincidentally, questioning a lead or manager on the current protocol once they hound you for sticking to your training results with them assuming that you are being insubordinate. A friend of mine was written up for this very reason and was disciplined for being "insubordinate", though they really were wanting to make sure that particular lead knew the correct protocol given their past experience in that situation. If you're sick or have a personal issue that keeps you from making it to work, management will not work with you and you'll have to take the attendance hit unless you have paid time off, though sometimes not even that is a guarantee. Don't bother bringing a doctor's note, it means nothing to them, even if you have a chronic condition that makes you unfit to work from time to time. Also, management on multiple occasions had added fake absences that not only set me up for possible termination, it also shortened my paychecks and conveniently made me ineligible for any sort of monthly bonus (I have spoken to several other employees who reported the same issue). Ultimately, I was able to have them correct the absences and reimburse the amount withheld from my checks, but it took several weeks and constant hounding on my part to make them do anything. If a manager there says they will do something for you, you always have to follow up the next day or they will bypass or "forget" it completely. During my time there, I also noticed the leads or management implement mandatory ETO (forcing you to leave your shift well ahead of time). Though not noticeable at first, leaving 2+ hours ahead of my scheduled shift a couple of times every few weeks majorly cut into my paycheck over a period of time. Funny enough, sometimes these early releases were counted as me leaving without permition which counted against my attendance, even though I was forced to leave. With these practices in mind, one could draw conclusions as to how this company remains profitable even with the high employee turnover rate. I absolutely cannot recommend this employer to anyone if they want to make a career or simply to just work in an honest work environment.
