Pros
There are some staff members at the specialist and manager level that are a pleasure to work with, but it varies on a group to group basis
Cons
- executive leadership is entirely disconnected in terms of understanding the needs of the employees that do the real work, leading to large turnover numbers in certain groups that are continuously overworked and understaffed
-some management level employees are strictly out for self preservation and will do what they can to make it look like they are doing their job, when issues come up it is always someone else's fault for not notifying them sooner
-ridiculous number of pointless meetings. You will have a pre-meeting meeting, to discuss what will happen in the meeting, and then you have the actual meeting, and then a post-meeting touch base (meeting), to discuss how the meeting went
-the moment you show you are competent within the training, you are immediately thrown more work than you can handle leading to many staff members feeling overwhelmed
-the compensation is not even close to on par with the amount of work you end up being responsible for
-no room for career growth as many of the supervisors and managers have been with the company 10+ years and will not leave until they retire, leaving people at the specialist level only the opportunity to become a "senior" specialist, which comes with an increase responsibility but not an outright increase in pay
- for a salaried position, your time spent working (clock in and clock out) is VERY rigid and micromanaged
- your best bet at getting by is doing just enough to meet their standard without looking really good at the job, otherwise they assume you can handle more work (even when you are already overworked)
- as much as they talk about being a family and community, you are just a number, they will overwork you until you leave and then find someone else to do the same thing to
