A few good things

Pros

Great work/life balance. Everyone checks out at 5PM with no expectations of working later. Slow moving, low pressure environment. A few nice people here and there and occasionally even a smart, nice person. Pay is ok with retirement plan if they deem you worthy and hire you full time. If you are of average intelligence, have little ambition, are talented at sucking up, and want to just put in your time and leave, this actually isn't a bad place to be - and I'm not being sarcastic when I say that.

Cons

Moral has been extremely low for years. Lot's of turnover. Management says they want change but barely pays lip service to it. Toxic backstabbing environment with under-educated, immature people. Communication and working relationships between management and employees actively discouraged. Old organization taking care of old people with old managers at the helm.

A great company to work for

Pros

NCPHS has wonderful mission and serves a wide variety of seniors -- from the very poor to the well-heeled. NCPHS is well-known and well-respected in the senior services industry. The fiscal management of this company is superb. In 2008-2009, NCPHS weathered the economic crash relatively unscathed because of excellent financial management and savvy cost-cutting. There were no layoffs during that rough period, which is impressive. This is a very solid company doing great work. NCPHS has been around for nearly 60 years and I'm sure they'll be around for decades to come. I recommend working here.

Cons

Historically has been VERY slow to change/get current with the times, although that has been changing for the better over the past year or so. Management has recently implemented a work from home policy and is constantly improving IT and bringing systems up to date. Communication is an issue - and it has been for years. However, recently management has been making efforts to improve communication and be better about informing employees about plans for the company.
