Pros

found a job in a recession

Cons

this company is a JOKE. I work for the one in central San Diego. started in 2013. Have not had a raise. When I ask them about it, my emails get ignored and my phone calls get "I'll have someone call you back.". They offer no bennies and no medical, dental or vision insurance. No paid holidays, no pto, no paid sick leave. They have no intention of ever offering these benefits. No more than 20 hrs a week at best. They call at the last minute asking if you can take on another client. They don't listen and they don't know who is working what hrs. They has me attend a "required" dementia training class. I drove all the way out to their office. It took me over an hr to get there. When I got there, they told me that the class was canx. Nobody bothered to call my cell phone and tell me that. I was comped for 1 hr of pay and a $5 starbucks gift card that they already had in the office for office staff birthdays. Place SUCKS! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN! BTW, no support in this office what so ever.

Pros

Get to meet wonderful people. Get to see into peoples lives, and treasure getting to know them. Ask questions, get to hear about how they got to where they are, what their philosophies are, their life stories, their advice. The opportunity for connection is limitless.

Cons

Dementia! I learned to love working with dementia patients but be warned if it's your first job with them. Don't take what they say personally. I wish someone had told me that before my first position. It's not about you. It's about them. Second! Beeoches. There are so many old ladies you're going to run into who are BEEOCHES. Don't be afraid to tell the bossman that I'm sorry, this isn't a good fit. I was too afraid to say something and ended up staying with a little old lady who was H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS to work with for two years. Former CEO of a company. Beeoch! Stand up for yourself. If you don't know how, this job will teach you. You'll learn a lot about yourself if you don't know yourself very well!
