TARA CARES

Wages significantly below standard rates, reviews and raises delayed for many months, terrible healthcare, terrible benefits.  They have third day sick so, it's a bacteria farm in the winter because no one can afford to lose two days pay and stay home when they're actually sick.  

While some managers were acceptable, others were petty and unprofessional.  

It's obvious that the owners' goal was to wring as much labor out of their staff with as small a budget as possible.  The result was that workloads were so heavy and there was so little coverage that it was extremely difficult to take any of benefit time offered.

As for the culture: pot stirring and negativity were rampant.  The result of unhappy, under appreciated, underpaid staff?

The most toxic work environment I've ever encountered.  If you're a nice person, run.`

I served as a Director of Therapy. I was appalled at the pressure to provide therapy regardless of the patients needs and ability to benefit. Attempting to discharge a patient was met with rebuke from most department heads.  Patients were placed at the highest utilization group routinely and attempts to provide less was again met with facility wide interference.  It is this practice that has led to Medicare to provide less and less reimbursement to therapy. It was a one size fits all and revenue at all costs.  Sadly, other companies practiced the same standards.  At this location they didn’t require a director of therapy. Just place everyone at the highest level and provide until the money runs out or the social worker and other personnel thought it was ok to discharge.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
My department had a great bunch of women who worked together well

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The controller. She micro managed people and did the exact opposite of whatever her department heads suggested. She was more worried if you took 31 minutes for lunch.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Moral was down when the new controller came on. Over 30 employees left in a three year period with her being there. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
If you worked an eight hour day you weren’t good enough.  The controller wanted you working 12 hours and Saturday. You weren’t allowed to converse with other employees unless she approved. It was an an extremely stressful environment.

Salaried worker pay docked if even for 1 hour, but do not pay over time if you work more than 8 hours.Horrible management! Pay salary workers hourly pay, they do not understand salary vs hourly and no clear policy for salaried workers. Pick and chose what policies they follow to their benefit. Unprofessional supervisors, no team approach. Drama filled. Do nothing to promote office morale. I  put in resignation letter 2 weeks in advance with the end date on the last day of the week, a Saturday. My hire anniversary was on the very next day, a Sunday, was denied 3 weeks vacation pay owed to me, stating I quit before my anniversary date, I  was not required to work on Sundays, nor did I. I completed the previous year of work. Worst employer ever! it still bothers me to this day!

The best part off working at Tara Cares is be able to help the residents by working with the insurance companies to get the medical claims paid.

The work environment and culture is family friendly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day consist of following up on claims and talking with my supervisor about the accounts.

I was lured into the position with the company and was awed by the promises made by the company execs I interviewed with. It all sounded so great so I left a job that I'd had for 4 years to accept a position with this corporation. I honestly believed I could do a lot of great things, travel and serve others all while working closely with my supervisors and corporate management to grow the position into what I was promised. One year to the date of my hire, I was told the corporate office had terminated my position permanently & I was now out of a job! No notice. No assistance. Nothing! I was completely blindsided and deeply hurt.

Accounts Receivables is a great department to work in. The managers are supportive and will roll up their sleeves and pitch in when needed. We are there to support and help each other every day. It's a positive work environment which has gotten even better with a toxic co-worker leaving. We do team building fun activities every so often to improve our work environment and blow off steam and have fun.  this is a place I could see myself working in until retirement. Leave your drama at the door and you will go far with this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers. The people who work here are friendly

The lack of training they give you at this company. It is very on the job sort of training which can make things difficult if you aren't a fast learner.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some good some not so good. Management can be confusing with how they want things done. One person wanting things one way another a different way

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It depends on the department you are working in.

Micro managing co employees, managers play favorites. Other employees if they don’t like you they will treat you as an outcast. Employees bad talk and spread rumors. This company will have you work for them for years and not pay you as you deserve, they will hire new with less experience with higher pay. If you want to advance there is not much opportunity with this company. if you want to settle down with a desk job that pays the bare minimum and don’t value their employees, that is a dead end this is the job for you.

I would rate working for Tara Cares 5 stars if the VP of Purchasing wasn't such a flake. She has the highest turnover rate in the company for a reason. She's not all there....

Dealing with LH, the VP of purchasing.  She's crazy. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful. Very stressfull and they micromanage you

Driving your own vehicle a d using your own phone for company business.
