Pros

Wonderful people to take care of. The connections you form with clients is lovely and a memorable experience.

Cons

Not enough training for certain job types. They do train thoroughly, but not enough for some things they throw at you. For example, a 100lb caregiver should never do a 300lb+ dead lift with no assistance or help whatsoever and bath/dressing by themselves. There was no hoyer lift available or offered. Very dangerous to the client and caregiver. Overworking the caregivers and burnout is extensive and frequent among every single caregiver/CNA. The pay is immensely low and you get very small raises after 2 years of working full time. It is still not enough to pay for rent/utilities/car payments/groceries/children/pets/other.

Pros

Okay pay, flexible shifts, weekly pay

Cons

The company will not only fire you but also act as if your wrong for advocating for your patient who states they don't want to take their Xanax something that is taken as needed but your relief aide works overnight and is literally trying to force it upon the client so they can sleep their whole shift. Also they may have you do something I now know should've never happened which is with hold the clients narcotics meds for "their safety" even though the client is of sound mind and can administer the medication to themselves appropriately and this will most likely make your client very upset with you rightfully so but your just trying to do what VA staff has directed you to do and finally you may end up getting assaulted by a stranger that let's themselves into your clients home yelling demands at you and the client and getting irate with you and you don't even know who they are on your first day don't expect VA to protect you from a situation they should've never let happen no matter how well you did your job they still will just quietly let you go because you don't really matter in the grand scheme of it all work where you want but if you choose here just remember you were warned!
