ScottCare Reviews

Most all of the cons listed in other reviews are legitimate. The biggest con of ScottCare management is that they are not listening to their employees and former employees about any of these issues and actively addressing them. Things like better pay. Better facilities. Better treatment of employees. Far better benefits and more vacation time across the board. Better, competent people in management and really across the whole company in certain spots. Setting realistic deadlines and expectations, and so on. On top of those things, a con about working at ScottCare that is not being addressed is the company’s overall culture. In general, there seems to be little, if any, attempts to create a more positive, creative, generous, thoughtful, sensible, logical, fair-minded, respectful culture at ScottCare. Many people are treated poorly, disrespected, marginalized, ignored, and absolutely taken for granted every day. And after each departure of yet another employee, we sit back and still have a glimmer of hope that maybe this time, things will turn around. However, the ultimate result is a crushing micromanaging, overcompensating, flurry of poor decisions, helicopter-management style that really only serves to compound the loss. This makes life absolutely impossible for the employees that remain and only serves to demotivate people further who were doing their best, regardless of the circumstances, poor working conditions, and below-average compensation for the jobs they continue to do faithfully well. The morale of ScottCare employees continues to decline and it is no wonder, at least to the employees, why that is. The horror stories behind what has become a long list of former employees only underlines the huge culture problem at the company currently. Management at ScottCare expects that its employees take ownership of their work and mistakes, which is great, but THEY do not take ownership of their responsibilities, failings, and shortcomings as managers – like continuously losing fantastic employees. Employees that kept the trains running on time, who were honest and hardworking, and did the work of 10 with all the insurmountable pressure that comes with it. Instead of trying to keep these employees (and all other employees just like them) happy, treating them respectfully, and paying them what they’re really worth, ScottCare does the exact opposite in pushing them away, disrespecting them, and making the assumption that they pay their employees really well. And when they eventually leave, ScottCare doesn’t replace them with comparable people if they even replace them at all and makes the assumption that their leaving has nothing to do with the company and its culture. If ScottCare cared to listen to them, these people would probably sit down upon dropping their notice and explain to management that “It’s not us, ScottCare. It’s you.”

The cons of working at ScottCare: 1. Incompetence - I don't think ScottCare has ever fired an employee for blatantly not knowing how to do their job and there are a few in key positions that need constant hand holding by many of us to keep the company moving forward. Many complaints have been made to management with no action taken. 2. Not enough people - For the amount of work on our plates we don't have the manpower to handle it. We've had many people over the years get burnt out and leave as is evident by the rest of the reviews on here. Also when people leave the positions can go months or years without being replaced and these are often important positions that play a key role in the company functioning properly. 3. As a company we seem to waste most of our money making mistakes. Whether its employing the incompetent that cost us money and productive time, hiring overpriced contractors that do shotty work, or having to scrap projects/products/materials. 4. Deadlines - The deadlines at ScottCare tend to be unrealistic, half thought out, and can change at any moment. One day it's "get it done by Friday" and the next day it becomes "we need this done tomorrow". Dealing with ScottCare deadlines can be extremely stressful when you're not sure when the it will change and the constant pressure only ensures more mistakes will be made in order to meet the new aggressive deadline. These aggressive deadlines ultimately only lead to additional work when mistakes need to be addressed later on.
