Business Outlook

Pros

Staff is very supportive of each other. Vacation time is good. Schedule can be flexible, some work 4, 10 hour shifts.

Cons

Metrics can not be met. As soon as you meet metrics the department metrics are increased. The amount of work expected just keeps increasing. Middle management only cares about what the case management director wants.
