Communication needs improvement

Pros

This company offers relatively competitive pay and there is lots of work in the Asheville area. They compensate for miles traveled (if over 20 miles) and for overtime.

Cons

There is a lack of communication or proper training. They feed you videos and then do a quick orientation, which is only $12.50/hr for a full 8 hour day, but they don't offer much support when you're with a client. It can be stressful.

Pros

You will become very attached to your beautiful clients.

Cons

Petrol not paid for first 10 miles, lots of carers doing only 1 call a day, so no reimbursement. Inconsistent hours zero contracts. Very few Care pros go into the office due to the ackward atmosphere, made to feel Uncomfortable by office staff. All office staff were previous carers so they think they can run a business, fact is carers are leaving. Apart from online training no real training given, shadow call with the client then your on your own. Numerous carers leaving straight after 2 welcome/training sessions. Seen to have their selected few that have regular hours. You can have a call at 8am the nothing until 4.30pm. Carers tell their clients to ring the office and say they don’t want any new staff and get away with it. Refer to new starters as newbies. Nothing remains confidential in the office as they all go on their night out and discuss care pros.
