Pros

The pay is decent and you get mileage reimbursement. Holiday party and food provided almost weekly in office.

Cons

I enjoyed working at Care Initiatives…. While I was there. After 6 months of employment, I applied and interviewed a few times for a higher up position. After not hearing anything for almost two weeks, I was finally told they weren’t hiring for the position any longer, as they didn’t have room in their budget. You’d think they would have this figured out before wasting my time interviewing me multiple times. A month later, I was laid off. I was pulled from the middle of a meeting around 10:30am and given a piece of paper telling me that THAT DAY was my LAST DAY as an employee there. Gone. Done-zo. The letter said it was again, due to financial constraints. I guess they weren’t lying about not having the budget to hire new employees. The job itself wasn’t bad, but management was a bit unorganized and training was a mess. You’re just a number to this company. Not a valued individual. They also cut another position for a girl who had only been with the company for 6 weeks. What a waste of her time. They definitely are struggling financially, so be aware that a lay-off is possible.

Pros

Company owns all it's buildings, so no management company, and they have never sold any buildings. Everyone in the company just got a holiday bonus, and they are financially super stable. It's been years since I've even seen that after COVID, so it's really nice to see the company give back, especially in this economy. Very strong leadership team with a lot of great initiatives going on. I am new, but in the time I've been here we started paying for LPN's to complete their RN, work with local schools to help develop training programs and inspire future healthcare professionals of tomorrow,

Cons

There are a lot of things going on, and a lot of staffing ups and downs, but that's most healthcare companies today. Even though they struggle, it seems like they really do try to get creative to find solutions and the CEO and COO are regularly in and out of our buildings giving support where they can.
