Pros

The people you work with are great and care about the mission, to serve seniors. You will grow and develop because of the challenges you will have to face. Salary is good, benefits okay.

Cons

This company has been in a steep decline starting in 2022. Multiple waves of company layoffs in 2023 already - some saying that 15% of the 6k employees were released. Now there’s also a hiring freeze. When you get laid off they give you a separation agreement which prevents you from sharing details of your package with others. It also bans you from sharing factual reviews of the company (like this one). If you do - you violate your agreement and don’t get your severance package. They just announced that nobody in the company will be receiving their short term bonuses or long term bonuses this year. ZERO BONUS PAYOUT across all bonuses (company is profitable). Everyone expected those bonuses in 2 weeks and leadership never alluded to the challenges throughout the year that would cause such a negative outcome to employees. The company operates like a big mom and pop shop - the board and executive leadership work with short term mindset, lacking long term strategic direction. Most leaders are “yes men” to the family because they fear appropriately challenging could risks their own job. CEO and leadership lack transparency and integrity. Recently stated in Ianuary we’re in an excellent financial position and not laying off people like other companies. Going as far as to say “the grass isn’t greener on the other side” all while planning for zero bonuses and layoffs across the company. ZERO transparency to goals. Have been told “we didn’t meet goals the last two years” but nobody knows what those financial goals are because executive leadership doesn’t trust their employees. Meanwhile we’ve doubled our patient panels and locations since 2020. Sales people be warned- the goals they set for the role are nearly impossible to hit. 4 out of every 5 sales people are not hitting performance goals so what they tell you can make is not reality. Business priorities changes on the dime based on what the family wants. Don’t get attached to projects or anything you’re working on because you can redirected without notice. Run, don’t walk, away from any opportunity here until the company has the right leadership in place to actually take care of employees. This place is currently a dumpster fire right now.

Pros

The pay is competitive, however the workload is very heavy. The company does put emphasis on a positive culture, but the teams are in constant fear of lay off, or being let go due to unrealistic productivity expectations

Cons

Bonuses are cancelled, changes are too often, everything is always a priority. The productivity expectations are unrealistic. The other thing is favoritism and nepotism, you will never advance if you are not friendly with certain people. It is very evident that the focus is not on talent when promotions are available.
