Hard Workers Low Compensation

Business Outlook

Pros

There are good people trying and working very hard at this company. The clinicians and therapists are also very good.

Cons

The compensation is nowhere near adequate considering the amount of work that has to get done every day. The upper management refuses to acknowledge the problem and constantly makes decisions without considering their impact.
