Pros
The specific group of people I worked with was enjoyable. I loved my credentialing team.
Cons
Management has conflicting interests. The credentialer's job is to make sure that the special education professional being placed on assignment has completed all necessary state and federal requirements before being able to treat children; the manager overseeing this department has a background as a recruiter, so their goal is to get people started ASAP to create revenue for the company. As a result, I was cornered by management multiple times and pressured to allow people to start working/TREATING CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS before they were compliant with state/federal law. A lot of contracted employees with this company are pushed to start with a pending license (read: are unlicensed), even in states where that isn't legal, because it's "been approved by management." In short, management puts their numbers/commissions over the quality of treatment that these children with special needs are receiving. During my time with ProCare, I was frequently put in a position where I needed to choose between ethics/legality and my reputation at work/my job. I would recommend that anyone pursing this position carefully consider whether they would want their name attached to that which this company represents.
