Correctional Healthcare Companies Reviews

Pros

The pay scale is upper average for my area. The benefits are great. The health insurance is not too expensive and covers well. Adequate paid time off.

Cons

No nursing management. Company is more concerned with budget than with providing adequate health care.

Advice to Senior Management

Realize that providing health care and is not cheap. Cut your costs on other functions of the business, but allow for adequate budget to meet patient needs.

Pros

The position itself is interesting. If you like writing and the proposal managing process, there is plenty of opportunity for that.

Cons

It is an unfriendly work environment. The proposal management team is overloaded without support from senior management. The team is pushed to produce without feedback, support, or any senior level contribution to projects. The staff works 60 hours a week on average while immediate senior management frequently leaves early.

Advice to Senior Management

Look carefully at the people you have laid off versus the ones you've kept. The problem is in the corporate structure and processes working between depts. The layoffs are a stopgap measure designed to appear more effective than actually is effective.

Pros

Lots of company fringe benefits: free good coffee, lunches out, catered meals, and fun team buliding activities.

On the whole, nice co-workers, with the exception of the senior management.

Decent pay.

Cons

No interdepartmental communication - there is an attitude of "that is not MY job" and no one owns anything. Then there is a lot of finger pointing when tasks are missed or issues arise.

A lot of looking down upon the employees by senior level management, and expect to work 11-12 hour days. EVERYONE stays late and if you don't, you are a part of the ongoing "perception problem" --wholly inflexible with regard to hours worked, meaning 45+ whether needed or not.

Absolutely NO career path whatsoever.

Exceedingly expensive medical benefits.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest in your employees, create job pathing, employee resource groups, and foster a generally healthy office. Practically everyone is miserable but too afraid to say anything because nothing ever changes. The issues are not people problems, they are process driven (lack of process) problems. Buckle down and create legit procedures, and hold respective departments responsible for their work load.
