Pros

There is no shortage of hours They have a good answering service

Cons

They will schedule you over your preferred hours and if you don’t have any, they will schedule you 50+ hours a week They do not pay $27.50. They only pay a max of $19 and that’s if you’re lead caregiver which means you need to be a CNA or caregiver who has been with them for a while They send untrained home health aides to clients who need CNA skills which is extremely unsafe for both the caregiver and the client They expect lead caregivers to train new caregivers with clients they’ve never had before They have knowledge of caregivers doing things out of the scope of practice, and turn a blind eye They do not tell you when a client has been in contact with a Covid positive(they ended up being positive) They do not respect your time off that You’ve asked before to have off you need to constantly check to make sure they didn’t sneak in extra days I personally was threatened with a demotion due to medical issues ( that I told them about when I got hired)

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!
