Pros
Work from home Working with consumers with disabilitites Great case manager co-workers All of these are available at other case management companies
Cons
Contrary to what another poster said, I was able to successfully manage my case load when I was with IPMG. However, I grew tired of being micromanaged, having every word I wrote scrutinized, constantly being told more work was being added on, not having control of the size of my case load, never being able to take a vacation because I had no one to cover for me, being treated as a child and in general not being treated with dignity and respect. Overall, I was tired of being beaten down. In the years I worked at IPMG, my salary went down several times due to restructuring within the company. Management is out of touch with what is going on with case managers and the amount of work they are expecting. I chose to leave when other companies were able to offer case management services. My new employer values me, listens to my input, provides support and encouragement. I feel like I matter and that I can truly be an advocate for my consumers. If I were looking for a case management job, I wouldn't look here.
