Pros

Knowing you are helping your client's stay in their home and have a better quality life.

Cons

Low pay, very little vacation time as you only receive 1 hour of vacation for every 60 hours you work. Pay raise freeze has been in effect for years with NO raises, I did receive 1 raise this year due to a new supervisor that believed our pay should be brought up a little. I only received 14 cents in raise pay and the freeze is still in effect. You cannot make enough to hardly pay all your bills.

Business Outlook

Pros

Other clinicians are nice and usually helpful

Cons

The company has been sold so many times it is ridiculous. The turn over is insane because the expectations are unrealistic. Corporate acts like they care but everyone knows they could care less and don't mean a word that they say. They want you to be perfect but set you up to fail because there is no way to do all they ask. The company has really gone down hill. For such a large company, their insurance stinks and they will rarely give raises. They say they want to do the right things but all they want is to make more money ....we all know it. Of course when things go wrong, they conveniently forget that they pushed us to do the things they are now preaching about.
