Cons
No job security for part-time, full-time, or general management. They care about the clients and revenue, not the work family. No holiday party or after work drinks here. Benefits are awful, no health insurance for part-time employees and insane copays for employees with health insurance, which is unfair because this is a health insurance company. Upper management depending on who is in your corner is not looking out for you, you're on your own for raises, promotions, benefits, hours and relocating. Good luck getting on track with the HR department they are remote. Per-Diem workers like GFI's, ES, PT's get burnt out after being bounced around from site to site to create a schedule. They get staffed for 4hrs one week, 1hr next week but never for a consistent amount of time. They have no job security because they're working without contracts and on rotating class calendars at will. Most of them don't have health insurance or employee benefits with the company to help them when they need it for an emergency. It's not worth it. ES pay is capped and you're not allowed to train more than 2 people during shift hours, you're not compensated your ES shift pay on top of your training pay if your training you're not on an ES shift you're not getting paid extra. Unpaid holidays for P/T and Perdiem workers. Most senior staff get fired right before retirement.
