Pros
Good mission. Majority of the worker bees are quality people who work very hard and are passionate about the mission.
Cons
InnovAge’s tag line, Life on Your Terms, exudes freedom, respect and dignity. When one reflects on life and desirable terms, does he/she wish to be chained, disrespected and disposable? If so, "life on your terms" means those in authority should run amuck and belittle those beneath them. With this mindset, it’s okay to stomp on others, as long as it serves the greater good. It’s strategic to instill fear in the workplace; this is the only way to accomplish goals and keep the mission intact. It's acceptable to demoralize the staff, especially if it means that census will increase and in turn impact the bottom line. After all, numbers are important and money pays the bills, affords vacations, opens the door to a house in Napa and produces keys to a Porsche and Jaguar. So, if keeping others under one’s thumb keeps one in a desirable lifestyle and limelight (with the board of directors), then oppression is perfectly necessary, right? In life, there is indeed challenge at all levels. Yes, work and life are hard, and there are expectations and goals to be met. But, this does not mean that professionals or beings with a pulse should intentionally inflict humiliation and struggle. The human race is typically drawn to light, encouragement, hope, passion, tenacity and integrity. Once humans are filled with goodness, they can genuinely impart goodness. Goodness thrives; manipulation kills. Manipulating for one’s own gain is not gain at all. To truly lead is to unequivocally die to self. Without a doubt, InnovAge is dead in the water. It is drenched with toxic, so-called "leaders" who absolutely don't care about anything but self, notoriety, money and power. This emotionally-challenged group will tear you to pieces and lick their lips. They are not running a business, they are reliving high school. At InnovAge, life is NOT on your terms. The tag line should be "Life on THEIR Terms". Do not be fooled by their sticky sweet smiles and highfalutin vocabulary. In this small-minded, twisted world, those smiles dripped in honey very quickly morph into a dull, aching knife in your back. If you are considering investing---in any way shape or form---in InnovAge, think again. If you value what is good in life, look beyond InnovAge to a place where people reign with dignity...a place where freedom is truly respected.
