Pros
It depends on your center and the people you have working with you... how many employees corporate allows at a given center. Your position and your salary/rate which is somewhat dependent on the salary of the person you replaced. It can be ok or it can be horrible. Your Center Manager and even your Area Manager have very little to do with that as suprising as that may sound. It all comes from the top. So as for a pro... there are some pleasant jobs in the company in some areas. But they are the minority unfortunately. I should also say.. dealing with patients in need of Lincare services is also usually pleasant... the most pleasant times of working for Lincare occur when visiting a patient in there home... especially when you were able to provide therapy they needed that made them feel better. Another pro... paychecks come on time and the benefits are decent and I don't "think" Lincare is going bankrupt anytime soon.
Cons
NO communication. lower and even middle managers have very little say in how things are done or how many employees you have to get things done. I particularly feel bad for CM's and CSR's... The job makes no sense... it's like you are in a cumbersome paper chase with various insurance companies and lincare departments all day with middle and upper managers emailing snotty messages questioning why something in your center is so screwed up (on paper) It could and should be MUCH more streamlined. Service Reps and HCS's keep crazy hours at times... but at least they get overtime. Such a wasteful company in so many ways. Oh well... it's all about how things look on paper to shareholders. I stay because I am fortunate enough to hold a position now that doesn't suck as much as most of the others. Things will change for the bad for me someday I'm sure... then I will move on like everyone else does. Lincare is just a rest stop for most employees. (they have some people that have been there multiple years..... but they are mostly retards that have no where else to go..... you know when you are talking to them because they defend utterly stupid policies that some jackass in Clearwater thought up in a drunken stupor. They couldn't roll out a tootsie roll properly.
