Clients complained about office staff, care from people coming in.
Never hearing a good comment of CK from clients, their families or in the community. ALL negative. I was embarrassed to say I worked for the company, which is why I left. I won't work in a company I don't respect.
Upon resignation, I was told by the office manager that they have a high rate of turnover. That employees are like used car salesmen. They stay, work and move on when they find a better salary or bonus. Sometime they come back 3 years later. I understand the moving on part, but compared to a used car salesman?
One morning, I woke up very dizzy and concerned about driving and called the office ASAP, I was concerned about my client being left alone. I called but the manager said she had the same thing, took lots of vitamin c and still went to work. She said she'd find someone to take my client. I don't think she even tried. I found my medicine but still dizzy and nauseous trying not to let my client know I was sick, fortunately, the client was only 5 min down the road.....
Pay rate is $9.50/hr. Not worth the frustration.
I stayed longer bc of my clients than I wanted, knowing they didn't like Comfort Keepers. I left bc the job frustration was effecting the environment in my home.
Twice I called about 2 different issues, was told I would be called back but never was
Upon hiring, person said we just do whatever we need, like we were taking care of our children.
