Pros

Coworkers were very supportive of one another. They have good benefits.

Cons

Management communicates poorly with staff. A lot of power and control issues. Managers openly share with each other how their supervisees are doing and no privacy. A lot of favortism is going on. If they don't like for some reason (which has nothing to do with your performance), they will pick on the smallest things which leads to very hostile and sressfull work environment. Very fast turnover.

Pros

- great coworkers that are super supportive and there for you any time you need them. - small driving radius for school visits. - a lot of food and snacks that come into the office. - great preparation for licensure. - 5 test prep days. - option for fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance. - office based visits for clients (not only field work). - mileage reimbursement

Cons

- pay is about average for the position, but they do tend to low ball new hires unless they’re in desperate need. - pay increase upon licensure is not automatic here, you have to meet certain criteria to be “recommended for” a raise. - your supervisor has to vouch for you to get a raise; it has to come from them, not you. - can have a lot of micro managing and feels punitive at times. - once you’re in bad standing in their eyes, they’re less than likely to work with you or support you. - late nights are mandatory. - 95hrs monthly productivity/24hr documentation turn around expectation. - not enough holidays given/ time off. - if you take their summer leave option, it is unpaid. - hourly employees have the same turn around document expectations. - some management can be very hostile/aggressive in their interactions.

Pros

From the outset, my experience with this company was marked by a lack of transparency. Key details, such as the fact that full-time status equates to only 37 hours per week, were not disclosed in the job posting or during the interview process. This was only revealed after I had signed the offer letter. The compensation offered was significantly below market value, and there was no effort during interviews or HR conversations to provide a clear picture of expectations or structure. The work environment can be challenging if you’re not aligned with certain supervisors, as favoritism is prevalent and can impact your ability to thrive. Requests for additional training and shadowing — which are essential for adapting to new systems — were acknowledged but ultimately never fulfilled, despite repeated follow-ups. In summary, this role may be suitable for someone new to case management who is looking to gain initial experience. However, for professionals with prior experience, the lack of transparency, support, and growth opportunities, combined with below-average pay, make it a less desirable option.

Cons

Favoritism and lack of training. Low wages.
