For a public company, the lack of resources (and understanding) is astounding (In-Home care business). - Agency Director Addus HomeCare Employee Review

Pros

Addus is truly for those who wish to "help" those in need of care.

Cons

This is much more of a quota driven sales job than one would be led to believe. Unfortuantely, the company does not offer any formalized sales training and the branches are left to figure out the market on their own with general tips and advice from Chicago HQ, where the presence and mechanisms are much different. A C-Level leader explained to a group of agency directors (during orientation) that "there was no place to go from this job"; a disheartening statement, at BEST. Salary, matches this sad expectation, and the workload placed on the branches (given the sales goals) is unrealistic. In addition, the benefits package leaves a lot to be desired and the medical benefit is very expensive (which is somewhat ironic). The organization, although (recently) public, operates like a "Mom & Pop" entity. If you are a "professional", I would look elsewhere to advance your career; be it in healthcare or otherwise.

Pros

Rewarding work for the community you live in.

Cons

Depending on your branch you'll have completely different experiences. My Branch Manager had no business being in her position and made work a waking nightmare.
