Pros

If you care about working with the elderly and don't need any income then this is the ONLY reason to work here and this is what it will be, a very low wage and NO benefits

Cons

Was promised regular pay raises when hired and this never happened, when this was brought up in a meeting they denied they ever said this Company makes promises and said things to get elderly and their family to sign up service that were false and its all very sad to loose caring for them and seeing them mad and sad when they go get another company Was told this job was flexible for your schedule but it really wasn't and if they called you for a job and you said no you couldnt then you could be fired and many caregivers had t this happen There was hardly any training Really hard office staff to work with andd when problems or changes for elderly came up it was the worst and very hard to watch how the seniors were treated Was told no lifting more than 20-25 pounds but they demanded caregivers to lift bigger persons out of bed and chair and much more weight Lots of caregivers started and quit Elderly always hated office staffwas always switching caregivers to other cases Company doesnt want any unions and not open to any ideas to help their staff do better jobs Everything was always about money with this company

Pros

The best reason is definitely flexibility when it comes to scheduling when you help your clients. If I have something come up I can always call the office and as long as they agree that it isn't something extremely crazy I have to do, they give me off with sometimes very little notice given to them. I also like knowing that I'm making a difference in other people's lives.

Cons

The lack of health benefits is the biggest downfall of working here but if you enjoy helping others and aren't expecting a lot back in return monetarily, it is perfectly satisfying to work here.
