Be very cautious during the hiring process and on boarding - Social Service Specialist Chapters Health System Employee Review

The on-boarding process is very disorganized. After I received an offer of employment, I waited 3 weeks for the on-boarding tasks necessary/to-do list. I invested 2 more weeks thoroughly completing these tasks (ie: medical clearance from my physician - including immunizations, my references, drug testing, etc.). It was then requested that I provide them with a reference - on letterhead - from a company that employed me 20 years ago (and has since closed) or my W-2's from 1999. Despite my references being willing to speak on my behalf, they retracted their offer because they could not formally verify my employment from 20 years ago. This process set my search for new, meaningful employment back 5 weeks. I'm genuinely disappointed I could not contribute to the service hospice renders, as this care is life changing.
