Pros

None, at this time unfortunately.

Cons

Leadership experience can vary greatly depending on the manager and office culture. In my experience, there was a heavy focus on metrics and documentation, but less emphasis on coaching, employee development, and constructive communication. At times, feedback felt overly critical rather than supportive, which impacted morale and team dynamics. The workplace culture also occasionally felt overly cliquish, with favoritism and interpersonal dynamics that resembled a high school environment rather than a collaborative professional setting. Saw a lot of snitching. Work-life balance can also be challenging due to pressure surrounding quotas and performance expectations.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
