Pros

Immediate supervisors work very hard to support you and your abnormally large case load. All your coworkers are helpful, supportive and friendly across all departments.

Cons

Case load is quite high in all departments. Certain departments get more allocation for new hires, even if those departments don’t need more staff and others do. Pay is about $20k less than other positions at similar companies. When many people brought this up in one town hall, the company told everyone that they keep a close eye on market, and that our pay was comparable. Everyone was flabbergasted, especially when our coworkers would leave for a lateral position in another company and tell us their new salaries. Lack of transparency regarding pay, large company wide changes, and parts of growth trajectory. Stock plummeted after someone blew the whistle with an article on how the company’s assets were not nearly as high as they stated. After two years, it still hasn’t recovered.

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
