      Pros

      Rewarding work with people in genuine need of it. A sense of Community. Great way to give back.

      Cons

      Poor Managment. They don’t respect work life balance or personal boundaries. Lack of structure from top to bottom leads to low pay, overworking and a sense of abandonment from higher ups.

      Pros

      24 hour shifts,toxic work environment. Most if the service users are lovely,though and some nice support workers which you won't see much of as your like ships passing in the night,unless your with a service user that needs two carers.Undervalued,underpaid and unappreciated.Slave labour was abolished in the 17th century sometimes starting work as early as 10am till 11pm then sleepover to start again at 7 till as late as 10 or 12pm.Then next day you could do a 9 till 4pm.shift.All for minimum wage my advice is don't bother!There are better paid and all round better jobs out there.You won't be appreciated and it will affect your health as your constantly working long hours for very little pay.The recruitment process is ridiculous for the amount of pay you get it took mine around about 6 months as they are not organised

      Cons

      Bad management,some awful service users,crap training and unrealistic expectations and ridiculously long hours slave labour

      Pros

      My colleagues and the people we support

      Cons

      Management is lazy, uncaring and the lack of support is disgusting. We do long hours for awful pay and have to take on a lot of responsibility. Management seem to pawn their jobs off on to us and on call never seem to answer. The company is a mess and it’s all because of incompetent leaders and managers who can’t seem to make the right decision or just don’t care
