Poor management!

Pros

The location I was in, NONE!

Cons

This company will do anything to burnout employees to save the bottom line! We went from having janitorial services and transport services, to doing everything in house. We were already full time, they added on for us to also transport in house, and take turns between directors to work weekends and clean the building. This was the biggest burnout I have ever had in my 20 years of being in this industry. Being with this company was the most stressful and exhausting part of working in this industry. Horrible work life balance. Management did not know how to manage but she definitely knew where to dump all the work!!! The burnout cause us to make mistakes in our services to families. This is why great workers leave!

Pros

If you work with pleasant people and a great manager, as I do, it's a blessing. Helping and caring for families can be rewarding.

Cons

Pay is horrible. My job title has different salaries, depending on where I work. I would make less money working closer to the nearest city and would earn a dollar more if I worked further away. If they advertise a salary on the internet, they will negotiate with you to be paid at a lower salary, despite advertising differently. Corporate doesn't seem to care very much about their "front line" workers. Corporate puts an insane amount of stress on managers and in the long run will cost the company having good, dependable employees.
