Pros

Lifesprk offers a fairly competitive initial salary for the role, friendly coworkers, and is rapidly expanding in the metro area

Cons

No raises since employment, no bonuses, overload your work schedule and then give bad reviews if you didn’t use your breaks to breathe as time to get everything done, stress you out by overworking you and stress you out regarding productivity if it’s slow, rarely get to take lunch, no bonuses, rapidly quitting staff due to being so short staffed and overloading their current employees, responsible for unlicensed staff’s bad behavior or mistakes, very negative environment, poor communication, entirely focused on money and billable hours, rapidly changing but does not ensure the policies they put in place run smoothly or work, do not take suggestions from employees seriously, bad mouths employees who leave and say “they’re just not right for this job”, not enough pto, not enough training for employees, prioritizes on boarding new customers over their current ones. Disney world environment where they talk about “sparking lives” but are strictly focused on squeezing productivity and billable hours out of their employees rather than setting them up for success. All they did during pandemic was plow forward and stress out their employees working through a crisis.

Pros

There were no time clocks so you could kinda show up whenever you want. The pay was decent. The training software was easy to use and could be done on any computer so it made it easy to be flexible. If you are working in the community the hours are very flexible which works if you are in school or have other responsibilities.

Cons

If you are in a facility due to the fact that there is no punch clock, you often end up working alone and policing your coworkers attendance since there isn't anyone to manage it at all times. I personally was physically attacked by a coworker in front of witnesses and the company simply moved me to a different department. There were no repercussions for the offender because she had seniority. The company claims to have this new way of giving care that will improve quality of life, but they haven't figured out how to actually make it happen. If you work in the community prepare to feel dropped in someone's home and abandoned to manage the clients care. Sure they have care plans, but most of them have not been updated for three years and are no longer accurate. You also have very little contact with the nurse inn charge of the care plans, they show up maybe once a month for ten minutes, and good luck trying to reach them on the phone. The staffing office is by far the most frustrating part of the job. This is a 24/7 job but the office is only staffed 9-5 monday through friday so if anything goes wrong overnight or on the weekend it turns into a disaster. The staffers also fully expect you to manage your schedule, you can request a day off and they might give it to you, but unless you are emailing or calling twice a week leading up to it, they will schedule you that day anyway and you are expected to show up. This is the most disorganized, misleading, and poorly managed company I have ever had to work for, Their mission is honorable but inaccurate since they run the same way any homecare agency does.

Pros

Nothing I do not have anything to say here.

Cons

Unprofessional. Literally the most unprofessional company I’ve ever seen. These people do not know how to run a company. Was supposed to send an offer letter never got it and then I call them they sent it to the wrong email! Then they lower my pay under what was originally agreed upon. Unacceptable. I had emailed a nurse manager there because she was the only email I had NO RESPONSE. This is unacceptable and unprofessional.
