Pros

The patients have been with the group for years and are patient and very pleasant to work with. The headquarters office is nice (aesthetically).

Cons

Upper management is unorganized and incompetent and just plain rude! There really in no middle management nor checks and balances. No training is offered (because of the incompetence). There is a NO TALKING policy (meaning no talking) which is most likely why the employees are not very willing to assist one another.
