Pros

Able to assist people with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics Pay is alright except for all the political shenanigans that are required to operate professionally Great front line Staff, genuinely care about the patients

Cons

Front line are not provided any sctructure or pathway to moving forward or progressing in their personal or professional growth Supervisors are often pitted against one another to promote "better" metrics, often resulting in bad blood within teams Higher ups are not held accountable for their atrocities and the focus has noticeably declined from taking care of the patients, to taking care of the stock holders. Negative attributes are not addressed and no assistance is provided to help the individual grow The phrase "This is how we have always done it" and " That's above my pay grade" is rampantly used and often have inexcusable repercussions for Patients and front line.

Pros

• Amazing product with a lot of promise which can make a difference in people's lives. • Great coworkers. • Decent pay.

Cons

• Horrid management overall. • Micromanaging taken to the extreme. • Breaks and lunches are timed down to the second with no more than a minute allowance. • Time taken in the bathroom is timed and watched closely. A total of 15 minutes for an entire day is allowed. • Shifts are assigned with a random number generator with no regards to performance, seniority, or any other commitments in a person's life. • Performance is highly scrutinized with time down to the second while the computers and poorly developed in house data entry software that are very badly performing being the biggest roadblock. • Very little regards to the health of the employees. If you are sick, come to work. If you get everyone else sick, they come to work. If they get more sick, all those people come to work. If anyone gets sick at all, due to the pressure to not call out and use up what little sick time you have, expect the entire place to look like the plague in a week or two. Expect this to be a regular thing to happen. • All the above is evaluated with a point system. It is very easy to rack up points and quickly get to where you are not considered for promotions and shortly after that have termination looming over you as an intimidation factor. • In technical support, it is more important to rush people off the phone. Short call times are more important than actual resolution. • Poor communication between the different departments in the office leading to confusion with policies, procedures, goals, and other information needed. • Eroding workplace culture that is quickly becoming a depressing place to be for 8 hours of your day. • Cubical farm. • The director positions are a revolving door. • Listening to management/supervisors talking about their enjoyable times they had outside of work, laughing constantly and joking about nonsense, spending a large percentage of their days talking about things entirely unrelated to work all while they are paid for it. Doing this all around you is like a back hand to the face while you are pushed harder and harder. • Little or no respect for work/life balance. • Career opportunities are rare or nonexistent.

Pros

*Just* starting adding more benefits, but still lacking the basics like a 401k Company Match. Do appreciate the newly added Pet Insurance and AFLAC to the benefits.

Cons

Stock is no longer given to all staff so your neighbor who does the same job as you has stock and you don't. They pay heavily on a Salary basis. The is literally no parking, they give you a map of the surrounding area and have you trek it - no shuttle. The employees do not smile as they pass you in the hallways, seems there is a lack of unity outside your immediate group. Salaried employees are over-worked. No Microwave ovens are allowed so your bring it from home lunch must be microwaved (yuck!). There is no on-site cafeteria, but a food truck and a vending area.
