Pros
You can accept only the shifts you can fit into your schedule. There is a lot of work available once the snow birds arrive so you might get a lot of calls. They like to recognize exceptional caregivers so if you fall into that category be prepared for a lot of praise. The office staff is nice. The receptionist is friendly and makes you feel at home. The pay during the week is 11.00 per hour, but the weekends is 13.00 per hour which is considerably more than other agencies in the area pay. Once every 4 months there is a caregiver meeting and you are compensated for your time with a gift card. If you accept last minute shifts and they are in a pinch they will give you a gas card. That is a very nice perk. Also, at your annual review you get a bonus based on base rate of pay and the hours you worked. It's a formula they have and that too is a very nice perk. Also, when you refer another caregiver and they work at least 50 hours you get a 200.00 bonus.
Cons
Sometimes there are difficult clients and you have to pay attention to what the scheduler tells you or you might walk into a disaster.
