Pros
This a job, so the most important pro is the opportunity for professional growth and development. It will likely take time, and nothing will be handed to you, but people who are driven, reliable, and can operate independently are likely to find opportunities. Why is that the case? Because the company continues to grow and evolve to meet new challenges, and needs people to step up to manage the growth and fill needs that address the challenges. The evolution aspect is particularly encouraging because management is aware of areas the company needs to improve and is taking steps to address those issues. The change may not be as fast as some would like to see, but the company has changed quite a bit for the better in the past 5+ years and seems poised to continue that trend. The other significant pro of the company is the people. In a company this large there is bound to be a bad apple or two, and that's just life. However, the vast majority of people care very much about the residents we serve and the co-workers around them and are a pleasure to work with.
Cons
The healthcare industry is a difficult environment to work in, and the services HCSG provides require hard work and careful attention to detail in order to protect the residents. As a result, the work is not easy. Also, although HCSG is a large company the services it provides do not result in huge profit margins. That means that the company has to operate on a budget and the pay and benefits are somewhere in the middle. Not terrible, but not amazing either.
