Only work here if you really need a job!

Pros

The hours I work are reasonable

Cons

pay isn't competitive, they discourage you from asking ANY questions to other departments or to corporate, corporate training people are bullies and treat people with no respect at all, the company does not care about their employees, they promise big bonuses and deliver very little, you feel like you're back in the 80's, systems are outdated, nobody knows what they're doing and most everyone is looking for another job.

Pros

People are nice, learn a lot.

Cons

Work demand are unreasonable, little work/life balance. They come first & that goes without saying as there is no way to finish the amount of work in a regular day. However, this does mean more job security. Benefits keep changing for the worse. I was told this was told the employee are really valued & appreciated & I don't see that coming across at all. They speak of someday it will get better...

Don't even try it...the money might sound good but it is a living Hell

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is the only good thing I can say

Cons

HR plays everyone and tries to convince staff to divulge info on peers. CEO and COO at Superior have lost sight of how to respect others and are only concerned about making money, at the cost of the Medicaid population and the state. When these individuals, along with the current Directors, look back at their behavior and how they treat people, ten years from now, they will be very disgusted at themselves.
