Pros

Great company atmosphere. Awesome team dynamics and flexible work schedule (hybrid). Pay is competitive and benefit package is great. Overall, I highly recommend this employer. Great leadership team as well. It's important to enjoy who you work for.

Cons

Can be stressful at times but not really a "con" more of an expectation in the real world.

Pros

Excellent benefits: has a 403b plan versus a 401k, so you can put away about 3x more for retirement; healthcare plan is better than many of the other employers in the area.

Cons

Direct patient care works on a "grid system" X# of patients requires Y# of Care Partners and Nurses, unfortunately, whoever came up with this system obviously never worked as a patient care provider because the ratio of patients to providers is too high for safe patient care.

Pros

I enjoy working with my coworkers... that's probably the only Pro for now.

Cons

Supervisors- The most ridiculous excuse for "Supervisors". Lack of leadership, complete incompetence, and zero sense of welfare for the employees. Benefits- I've seen much better benefits at McDonald's and Walmart than this place. Oh yeah, and as for Paid Time Off, good luck with all the hassles to try to take a few days off. This company will make you put work before family, even if it means driving through a tornado or earthquake and leaving your family behind to fend for themselves, all for just a few bucks??
