Pros
- The wealth of knowledge in the elder care field you obtain if you're interested in social work or any field related to bettering the lives of seniors - The experience you gain in relationship building - The fast acting problem solving skills you acquire
Cons
- Salary job plus commission based off monthly or yearly sales, you may be working the most overtime when your check is the lowest. - Small, but continuous lack of respect from clients and CAREGivers due to issues outside of your control (you become the trusted point of contact while client's caseworkers and other who assist at client's homes do not follow through on their obligations). - Time off is hard to come by if you're in a smaller office and business is doing well. Life/Work Balance = Not Good At All.
