Pros

The location was pretty cool.

Cons

I was fresh out of grad school and totally pumped to have found a job, especially in such a cool location. I was eager and ready to learn. I made an honest mistake my second or third day on the job and they decided to let me go. I was devastated. Right away the trainer had given us full access to the database so we could learn the system. My brother had passed away the year before from a mental illness, and I was curious to see if he had reached out to an EAP service. I decided to type his name in. I realize now I shouldn't have done this, but hindsight is 20/20 and I was grieving, hoping for some answers. Our trainer never warned us that this kind of thing would be grounds for termination. Had I known that, I would have never done it. I just wanted to do a good job. I confided in a coworker that I had searched my brother's name, not knowing that it was wrong. He decided that he needed to tell management what I had done. He had said, "it's best to come clean. They monitor what we do on the computers anyway so they will probably find out eventually." The next day they called me in to HR, and they had the company attorney waiting there. They told me I was done. Somebody brought in my things from my desk in a plastic bag (including a framed picture of my late brother and I). I was hysterical. I felt so guilty and ashamed and couldn't believe it. This whole experience turned out to probably be the best thing that could have happened. This company does NOT care about their employees or their clients. It is a stifling work atmosphere with horrible pay/benefits and no room to grow. Do not accept a job here. I promise you will thank me some day!

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.

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
