Pros
The other coworkers and the residents definitely were the best part of the job. My coworkers and residents made the job tolerable at least.
Cons
I was at the Vancouver location and the management and directors suck. They don't care about the employees, especially the new ones. The directors definitely pick favorites for coworkers. They are always understaffed and when they ask if you can work any upcoming shifts and you're not able to, they get crabby with you and treat you with disrespect and screw up your schedule, usually taking away hours and/or making you work crap shifts. Some of the employees can be very clique-ish and will talk about you behind your back with other employees. The pay scale sucks too. I have over four years of experience as a caregiver and I made less at this job than I did with my previous job when I had less experience. I know I'm worth more than what they pay me for, and for as much as they charge the residents PER MONTH to live in that place, you'd think they would be able to pay more to their employees instead of letting all the managers and directors receive all the benefits. Maybe that's why they are so understaffed, but the management doesn't care because they aren't the ones who have to get their hands dirty.
