Pros

Work from home is a plus. The employees work well together and support each other.

Cons

Took me a while to write this review as I wanted to try and not be emotional. The management/owner is toxic. She does not view anybody opinions other than her own. She is quick to react to issues with belittling, bullying and emotional outburst. Furthermore, she will only support you if it benefits her and the company needs. The turnover is very high for a small company, as employees are burned out with the unprofessional communication with management. Training is minimal and chaotic, with the philosophy of sink or swim. Policy and procedures often changed with no warning. I would be cautions before considering a position at this company.

Our team does work fabulously together, thank you! We did have several complaints about the training program and that has been completely updated and changed. Everyone now states they have never worked anywhere that provided such an extensive level of training. Hence the open-door policy. I listen to all concerns. It is not realistic that changes can be made instantly, but I hear everything and things that make sense to the progression of the business are instituted. And yes, it is my role to make sure that I do things that benefit the company or the company cannot benefit employees. I take it very seriously that my team members have families to support and that is a huge responsibility to me. Are there changes in policies and procedures, you bet. When someone on the team finds a streamlined way to do something, or I learn about something that will help streamline, then we change it. Life changes. You change to grow in business or you die. Workers’ compensation is a tough field of business that requires dedication to being legally accurate in communication and documentation. It is not for everyone. As a nurse case manager for almost 30 years, I have always been considered direct, tough but fair, honest, ethical, professional, and been known to live and work with integrity. I do hate that you feel this way so please reach out to me at dana@areteconsultingllc.net or 731.420.4924 ext. 90 to discuss further. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Dana Volner RN CCM LNC

Pros

Good starting pay and working from home was a great benefit.

Cons

Owner has been portrayed as toxic in other reviews. I would have to agree with this assessment. She nitpicks every decision you make and changes policies on a daily basis so no one knows what they are doing. Her favorite line is “follow protocol” but there is no written protocol or directive. She expected us to read her mind but says “why didn’t you follow protocol? Ummmm, because no one knows what the protocol is.
