Pros

Great team and company atmosphere. People greet you in the hallways and morale always seems to be high. The satisfaction of doing a job that helps the lives of those in need is a major plus. The health benefits are above average but you still suffer with the weak salary.

Cons

The salary is not good at all. They do not provide cost of living adjustment for us in California. If you work on a team for part of the year and then switch to another team your bonus potential is pro-rated only for the time you spent on your new team. That might be easier to swallow if they told you this when you apply for another team. It would be an understatement to say that everyone gathers around the water cooler to complain about base pay and poor raises (well below industry averages).

Pros

Some remote opportunities, medical benefits used to be good

Cons

This company has made it clear that its employees are not a priority. Over the past several years, there have been repeated layoffs, hiring freezes, and constant cost-cutting, with little regard for the employees left behind or how the remaining work will realistically get done. Many of the decisions don’t make sense. Critical, high-performing employees and essential roles have been eliminated while other positions remain. At the same time, new processes and layers of bureaucracy have been introduced that make even simple tasks take much longer, leaving employees with less time to focus on the work that actually serves clients. I genuinely feel for both the employees who remain and the clients, who ultimately bear the consequences of these decisions. The workload continues to increase while staffing decreases, creating an unsustainable environment. If you’re considering applying here, I’d think carefully. The company has laid off dozens of long-tenured employees—many with decades of service—without hesitation. That sends a clear message about how employee loyalty is valued. What has been especially disappointing is the lack of interest in employee feedback. In all my years here, I was never asked for ideas on how my department or the company could operate more effectively, despite those doing the work often having the best insight into what needs improvement. To make matters worse, 50-hour workweeks have become the expectation rather than the exception. It’s difficult to see continued cuts to the workforce while executive compensation remains high.
