Hi,

I worked for this company for 3 1/2 years, and it wasn't too bad at first. Over time, it changed dramatically, and the focus was on their metrics instead of what's best for the patient. Everything is micromanaged to the Nth degree. They fuss at you if you talk too long with a patient. They fuss if you take to long to type up your charting. They know to the second how long you are gone to the bathroom, take a break, or eat your lunch. They want you to make a certain number of calls per hour. When I first started we had to start on one of the later shifts like 10:30 am to 9:00pm, then as something opened up I worked from 9am to 7:30 pm. I also had to work like every fifth Saturday. People are placed on different teams which represent different insurance companies they have contracts with. You have a manager over you and also the director of nursing who is on site. It was a learning experience, but I don't think I would ever work there again or recommend it to anyone. Pay was ok not great. At the time I was there, they had Cigna insurance which was very good.

Good luck in whatever you choose to do.
