Pros

Great benefits, decent insurance, no holidays or weekends (unless mandated).

Cons

Poor work-life balance. Demands are extremely high, very little true case management. Being expected to see people once a year with phone followup does not make for truly effective case management, especially on the difficult population served.

Pros

Great benefits. Good health insurance, 401k, PTO. There is a yearly bonus dependent on hour the company performs.

Cons

Very poor management. There is a consistent lack of direction and guidance. There are no clear policies on how to perform the job correctly. Everyone does the job differently resulting in different outcomes for the provider. Management doesn't have a clue of how things are supposed to be done either. It is the blind leading the blind. There is a strong sense of favoritism in management, you can only get somewhere in this company if you know the right people and play the game right. And then there is the problem NO cultural diversity. In a city as large as Atlanta, I would think they could do better. Working here, you will be judged by the color of your skin.
