Pros

I love the location of downtown Chicago. Great coworkers, we share job postings and review each others resumes because we are all constantly looking for better employment!

Cons

FMLA Specialists are underpaid for the amount of work. There is mandatory overtime and they have everyone on salary, so you get no overtime pay. They monitor your bathroom breaks and instant message you if you are 1 minute over your 15 min break. The screen capture program records your every mouse click and they will pull you into the office if they see you checking the weather during business hours. The training is poor. As a specialist you are supposed to be helping sick ppl on leave but you really offer no help, you're a call center rep passing the buck because that is what management told you to do.

Pros

Over the past couple of years, the positive changes in company culture have been incredible. It is evident that leadership has taken employee well-being and feedback to heart, focusing on transparency, growth, mutual respect, and importance of collaboration. I am excited and proud to be part of this evolution. The ComPsych Fundamentals are embodied in our daily work, making it a supportive and mission-driven environment. Management cares about career advancement, and there is a genuine focus on employee well-being. Leadership does a great job including every level of staff when communicating updates, and it really feels like a big family, now. The new location is a great fit, reflecting leadership's care of staff and nurturing a collaboration environment. Work-life balance is always challenging -- When you LOVE what to do, it can be easy to go overboard, but that is a personal balance to keep.

Cons

Some internal technology systems are still catching up to the speed of our growth, but it's improving. Fast-paced changes can also be challenging, but communication has greatly improved, which helps us know what's coming next and feel best prepared.

Pros

I have been working at Compsych for about 3 years now and i can say i really enjoy working there. Everyone is super supportive whenever i need assistance on something. Our new office is just an icing on the cake. I like working with my team and my manager is very supportive which makes me enjoy coming to work everyday.

Cons

I think it would be nice to have more opportunities to network with people from other departments
