Lay off employees in every quarter

Remote care administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous PTO, flexibility, work life balance

Cons

Lay off employees in every quarter. Your job depends on how your department works in a particular quarter. Top management always stay safe and it is mid management and employees under them are going to be laid off. Almost every day you will have to worry about your job. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!! I have also seen manager let her daughter work in the company and they weren’t impacted by the workforce reduction.

Good people, poor leadership decisions

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, good co-workers, good pay

Cons

Leadership makes poor business decisions, acquisitions. Annual layoffs before Christmas keeps you on the edge of your seat. Company seems to enjoy making your job harder by replacing a single necessary software with 2 or 3 alternates with insufficient features.

Nepotism and bigotry breeds here

Business Outlook

Pros

You get decent vacation time

Cons

This company does not take moral and the livelihood of its employees seriously. No opportunities for advancement unless you are sleeping with someone related to hiring managers or are 1st shift. Off shifts are viewed as lesser. Employees who display bigotry are not met with consequences.
