      I worked at VCE (More than a year)

      Pros

      There were really no good reasons to work there except the paycheck. I made some wonderful friends on the team, However management is lacking and abuses their power. There is no such thing as HR as they're there for management only so there's no sense in requesting assistance in any way from them. They have no skills and clearly need to take some classes in management and people skills.

      Cons

      The company definitely hides behind big words and all kinds of "Investments" but also let's a lot of people go based on not having money. One day somebody works there the next day they're fired.

      Advice to Management

      Trade out your management for those who actually know what management is and understand what their job entails.

      I worked at VCE full-time

      Pros

      Technical advancement in career, up to date in tools and advancements. excellent career growth, good pay.

      Cons

      Should get more input from employees about ideas in implementing solutions rather than depending on higher teams.

      Advice to Management

      Although not related to vce but related to parent company...internal transfer should not have one year limitation as you may never know when a particular employee leave company due to this limitation.

      Pros

      Good teamwork among most nurses

      Cons

      Work overload for nurses. Too many additional tasks as assigned. With a nursing shortage, these additional duties reduce focus on care of patients.

      Advice to Management

      Remove the hiring freeze. With additional staff in all departments, optimal outcomes for total patient care and satisfaction becomes a stronger possibility.

      Pros

      I worked with a number of wonderful people at VCE. I was lucky to work there. I learned a TON.

      Cons

      The downside was that my contract was over and that I had to leave.

      Advice to Management

      Hire good people. Focus on productivity vs politics.

      I worked at VCE full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Fulfilling job when you are able to perform it.

      Cons

      Management changed late 2016 at Wesley Chapel facility and it has been downhill since. Discrimination against miniorties and homosexuals. CEO advancing her friends and has her clique. Forcing people to resign and intimidating people to keep silent . Has had terrible reviews on military program and have had multiple issues within the program and facility itself. Main focus of CEO is to get as many days out of insurance as possible and discharge people as soon as possible when insurance stops paying. Will discharge people to the streets/Salvation Army. Run the other way do NOT apply. Turn over is horrible!

      Advice to Management

      New CEO and management team

      Pros

      There are some great people working here. Very helpful and knowledgeable about payers and trouble shooting. Learned a lot from several people.

      Cons

      Absolutely everything. There are no policies or procedures to complete anything. The billing and financials are a nightmare. The CFO is in a daze of confusion and misunderstanding. No understanding that this is a publicly traded company. Change by the minute and nothing is ever finished causing drama and made up emergencies. The heat is on from corporate to correct the situation but local mismanagement keeps from moving the organization forward. This is now causing bad relationships with various insurance companies and providers. The software that is being used is 25+ years old. Stay away.

      Advice to Management

      To the local CFO. Go work somewhere else.

      I have been working at VCE part-time

      Pros

      The mental health consumers we help are very nice and appreciative

      Cons

      Heavy emphasis on billing, at the expense of services to clients and support for staff. Overworked staff. High turnover. Unpleasant physical environment (noisy, smells of cigarette smoke, very run down building)

      Advice to Management

      High level management should visit and see the many obvious problems and how they actually limit profits because they prevent clients from being served
