Pros

-Most people who work for the company are genuinely nice, caring people and are pleasant to work with. -Most clients are just as nice and are fun to get to know. -It's a job.

Cons

-Nepotism in hiring, nepotism in scheduling, nepotism in payroll, nepotism in treatment of employees. -Large corporate structure guarantees that no matter what your grievance, no one will care. Unless an outside agency (i.e. Office of Recipient Rights) gets involved. -Employees haven't received raises in over five years; some recently received an insulting $60 check bearing the message, "Thanks for all you do." -Direct care staff are expected to accept the same near-minimum wage regardless of how much extra work is expected of them; homes with total care clients (those that are dependent on staff for all activities of daily living) are paid the same as those with as few as one or two clients who require the most minimal of assistance (such as cleaning) -Refusal to offer benefits to same-sex spouses (specifically targets "spouses under federal, not state law" in benefits materials)

Pros

Your undervalued and underpaid coworkers

Cons

The manipulation Pharmerica uses to ensure the compensation is not accurate! The market moved and the company didn’t, the benchmark is outdated but told verbatim "we are NOT a priority" The company prioritized cost control over market competitiveness
