Lay off employees in every quarter

Remote care administrator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous PTO, flexibility, work life balance

Cons

Lay off employees in every quarter. Your job depends on how your department works in a particular quarter. Top management always stay safe and it is mid management and employees under them are going to be laid off. Almost every day you will have to worry about your job. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!! I have also seen manager let her daughter work in the company and they weren’t impacted by the workforce reduction.
