Pros

Good Benefits such as retirement

Cons

Do not follow proper guidelines. Makes there own rules. Will terminate you without doing proper edicate. Do not apply or work there. They will target you and try to stick together until you sue then will try to settle with you after they have damaged your career and financial status. Will make you sue them just to get your employee rights. They are very unethical. Will violate your HIPPA laws just to embarrass you! HR has a nasty attitude and will neglect any concerns you have. You will be terminated and decertified without a proper investigation because HR decides what happens and will put all outcomes on the FRA. Very unprofessional! Will falsely document papers on you‼️ they do not care for there employees unless you have a family member in management! I would not recommend anyone to work there. And to top it all the pay is terrible and they will not give you a raise unless you are a senior employee. Do not accept and doctors excuse unless you have the flu. No interest in helping employees. No values and do not respect culture. A very biased company

Pros

- Company Vehicle - Company Cell Phone - Personal Responsibility - Ability to WFH (Likely due to COVID) - Good Communication within Direct Team - Good Compensation and Benefits compared to most other companies

Cons

- Extremely High Stress Environment - Significantly Underpaid for roles you take on and amount of hats you are required to wear - Micromanagement over time becomes Unreasonable - Pay initially seems reasonable until multiple roles get applied - Direct Management doesn't appear to actually value the work or attempts at best efforts at the time - Claimed "Family First" values don't apply in most situations - Lack of personal boundaries - Eventually no separation of "Work and Home" life - Potential "Termination" threats when mistakes are made (Empty Threats to your Job) - Potential invasion of FMLA and HIPPA protected leave
