Terrible, Strange Way of Running Company

Pros

If you don't mind working with people who are going to force last minute jobs on you for minimum wage then this company is great to work for.

Cons

The moment I stepped in their office for a second time for orientation, the mood shifted from positive to down right unnerving. I had a good feeling about them when I spoke to the first woman in my interview and was very excited to be working with them, but when I came in for orientation I felt as if the staff was condescending and desperate for employees. So... I quit and they were livid. I received a few messages to return the tote bag they gave me which I had not used but had been too busy to bring in, now that I am working two jobs. Had they perhaps sent me a shipping label I would have gladly sent it back much sooner. They've harassed me now saying they will try to ruin my credit over a tiny bag with useless garbage inside. When I called the owner back after her harassing voicemail she did not answer. i had a very strange feeling about them during my second visit there, so when I had another job opportunity come up I obviously went elsewhere. It seemed like they wanted to own my time & life, with unrealistic expectations to what the job actually was. A VERY strange way to run a company. The pay is garbage. If these people try to scoop you up, run the other way and work privately. These people do not seem like they are willing to help you in any way. They lack the personal skills to make their employees feel comfortable and safe. Very weird vibes from management, their empty ghost town office, and their employee policies.

Unrealistic expectations

Pros

Easy to access management. Families can now request a specific nanny which makes it more comfortable to go back to a family you are familiar with.

Cons

They expect you to be available/on your phone 24/7. Automatic placement makes it so you cannot decline a job if something comes up. The owner is self-absorbed. No guarantees on placements and hours. On-call pay is low and you do not get compensation for mileage. You only have 1 hour to confirm a job so if you are busy/in class this is not sufficient time.

Pros

They are very flexible with hours

Cons

If you get in trouble and are not able to work families you will get less hours because you are only able to work at Asphalt green and don't get much hours even if your available most of the week , I have gone before almost 2 weeks without working,They do favor sitters .
