Pros

Similar to the other reviews, the only positive of the company is the location and co-workers.

Cons

-Starting salary is 30K which is impossible to live in Chicago, especially if you have a family to support, single mother, or have student loans. -Time and attendance policy- if you have two absences in a 90 day period you get written up. This is a challenge especially if you have children who get sick or have schools close in the winter due to weather. -All employees have to clock in and out even if they are salaried. Morale is so low everyone leaves the second the clock turns 5. - Health Insurance is extremely expensive. ComPsych does FMLA administration for other companies but offers only an unpaid leave for 12 weeks and does not offer short-term disability. If you are trying to start a family, I recommend not working here because you will not have paid short-term disability. -Turnover is really high. Management will not increase salaries past $30,000 because they only care about cutting costs so employees who work here just accept the job until they can find something better. There is a constant movement of people and everyone is so checked out. The clients have to deal with a bunch of untrained employees who are not committed to ComPsych. If you look on their careers website the same jobs are always posted because turnover is so high. -Technology is so dated. I have seen better technology at companies 10 years ago. -The company is cheap and management only cares about cutting costs. They don't invest in their employees, training the employees, or technology. I believe there are a lot of competitors out there they must have invested internally that would develop better solutions for their clients. After working here, I could never recommend to people to use ComPsych because everything is so dated . I recommend using another EAP company. -My department had such high turnover due to the manager, and nothing was done about it. Management is very old fashion and their solution is to just fire people. -The company thinks by planning pizza parties, going to a movie theater for the holiday party, or giving free snacks will help increase morale. Leadership avoids the more challenging employee problems (giving people a decent wage in treating employees better, making employees feel valued, getting rid of managers who can't do their jobs) to really help with the high turnover. -There is no communication from the CEO or any of the leaders regarding the business. There was no updates at the end of the year to say thank you for your work or update on how the company is doing.

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
