Pros

Employment at this company offers one the ability to apply your talents and skills for the betterment of a large spectrum of deserving individuals. In most cases, an enhanced understanding of life and its challenges at later stages of the human experience are gleaned while providing needed care. One obtains valuable lessons while receiving fulfillment from assisting others; a win, win situation.

Cons

One cannot count on a sophisticated level of management. Due to the lack of supervisors, it's difficult to understand how the owners can feel comfortable with the quality of care being provided. Caregivers are usually dependent upon their own sense of dedication, skill levels and ingrained high self motivation to successfully operate under this condition.

Pros

Matched clients with same interests

Cons

Not good scheduling manager HR lied When they said $1 per mile when transporting clients, they did NOT reimburse at that rate Payroll/paystubs unclear to intentionally confuse caregivers CarePros who have been loyal to the company have been shat on with lower wages than new-hire employees. They allow clients to be racially biased and hateful towards their caregivers NO BENEFITS and things they advertise are not true! No real flexible schedule that they promote and promise in the job ads NO policy written for things that are unclear for example being on call phones are not provided and time is not paid for unless actively providing cares Management will tell lies to the families about why you don't want to be with a certain client every day of every week and will blame it on them being a difficult client when communicating to the family when in reality schedules and availability with classes does not align. Even with proper notice, the scheduling manager will have attitude and try to convince you that you are the one with the problem even though she does not care to take the time to fully understand each persons preferences or availabilities.
