Pros

I’ve been at CentralReach since day 1, and with the founders for about a year with their antecedent company. I have nothing but good things to say about the company and her founders, though the pace and nature of the work is definitely not for everyone. I’m a software developer, so some of my more specific comments may not apply to other positions. To succeed at CentralReach you need to be a self starter, a fast learner, and a hard worker; any proper subset of those traits will not suffice. New developers are expected to get into the code, quickly learn how things work, and start contributing. In all seriousness, if you’re a “9-5 developer” who’s used to a cushy corporate work tempo, please don’t apply. Seriously. I've seen too many decent people come, and shortly thereafter go. From a technical standpoint, the app is a years-old SPA that antedates all-encompassing frameworks like Angular and Ember. We long ago integrated Knockout and requireJS, but you will definitely need a very, very solid JavaScript skillset. As I said, the pace is extremely fast. Don’t expect to idle away hours at a whiteboard contemplating whether an object violates SRP, and analyzing alternatives. Don’t get me wrong, we have a very high quality, well structured code base that I’m extremely proud of, but the work pace simply doesn't accommodate these borderline anal-retentive analyses that I oh so fondly remember from some of my past jobs. In sum, the work is incredibly interesting and rewarding, and the people friendly, smart and reasonable. A lot is expected of you, but if you’re the type of person that sees that as a positive, then the company may be a great fit for you.

Cons

I have to type at least 20 words, so I'll reiterate that a lot is expected of you. If you see that as a con, then this job probably isn't for you.

Pros

Amazing Culture Management is top tier

Cons

Benefits are good, but kind of weird since it Aetna's network via a third-party company named Allied. When it works, awesome, when it doesn't, it's a pain.

Pros

Both of my direct supervisors were amazing people and mentors. I supported amazing ABA organizations.

Cons

I earned President's Club three consecutive years and consistently performed at a high level. Despite this, I never received a merit-based raise or cost of living adjustment during my tenure. Additionally, my commission plan was chipped away at each year in what felt like a deliberate effort to put more money in the company's pocket and less in mine. I worked a two-week notice in which I professionally handed off accounts that I supported and every opportunity I was actively working. I exited in good standing. When asked for candid feedback during my exit interview, I gave it transparently and professionally. My feedback was critical of senior leadership and revenue operations, and I stand by every word. Following my departure, a finalized commission statement was issued to me reflecting the full amount earned. Just over a week before payment, that amount was reduced via a clawback that, historically, would not have been applied when examining it against similar circumstances. In my opinion, this felt less like a contractual matter and more like a direct response to my exit and the feedback I provided. If you're considering a sales role here, get everything in writing and document every compensation communication, then double/triple check to ensure you're getting what you're owed.
