Pros

Somewhat flexible hours but always on sorry notice call. Nothing makes you feel better about yourself than helping and Caring for someone in need.

Cons

Pay check never correct. Always short. Constant fight to get what they owe you. Took me 3 months to get paycheck still not complete. Finally had to find new job. Took me 6 months to get bonus check. Very unorganized. Supervisors don't follow through and don't turn in paper work so you can get paid. Office staff sucks all the way to the top. They don't care about their employees our clients.

Pros

Great for independent working Great pay for the work you do.

Cons

They will repeatedly mess up your check and make you wait until the next pay period to pay you back and sometimes not even then. The only people that return calls In a timely manner are the schedulers. They will get smart with you, rude and laugh about it. Hard to get supplies when the office is locked during open hours.

Pros

Schedule according to your daytime availability. Paid sick, vacation, holidays, and "show-up" time. Offer health insurance at 80% out of their pocket for FT employees = affordable. Paid miles between clients, paid time between clients, paid miles taking clients to appointments or running their errands.

Cons

High turn over in management means there is always someone on the low end of the learning curve, often getting it wrong. PT employees can't afford full health care coverage. Starting wage barely over minimum; raises are preset at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 years at no more than 25 cents max per hour per jump. "Training" for office personnel is minimal which often leaves field employees doing their job for them in scheduling... Office personnel get to wear multiple hats, hiring, firing, write ups, maintaining lots of files and also going out into the field to do intakes on new or returning clients, and In-Home visits on all clients.... And that's just the Service Coordinators. Now everything that can be transferred to corporate in Chicago area has, making it a more confusing at the local level.
