Pros

I have very few. My team in Med Services was a dream team, which has since been imploded due to poor direction, HR bias, and terrible executive leadership.

Cons

LifeWays promotes a culture of fear. HR makes it very known that they are not there for the employees or the consumers, but simply for their own personal gain. They don’t support clinical opinions and they investigate “departments” without interviewing everyone involved, then if they don’t like you they fire you or put you on a final notice (or a “last chance” as they like to call it) without your input, and without any sort of concrete evidence. The employees that actually work and make a difference get punished while the others get promoted into unnecessary leadership roles. When you start they will try to pay you WAY less than you’re worth.
