Pros

Really can’t think of any

Cons

Upon joining the company I was excited about the job and was keen to get started. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to experience the role as after 5 days I’ve been told there have been some concerns about my performance (what performance? I haven’t even had a proper training yet). I’ve also been told I was falling asleep on shift (If you ever get hired by Alcedo Care, don’t you dare yawn on the premise) and that I said that the job was boring (that literally never happened). After that, they told me they are ending my probation. This conversation has started at 9:00 AM and at 9:03 AM I was back in my car going home. Before that, I haven’t been told once that they weren’t happy with what I do, so I didn’t even have a chance to improve. That is not how you treat people. I understand than any company has the right to end your probation at any point if they’re not happy. However, they waited for me for 4 weeks while I was working my notice and then after 5 days they decided I wasn’t the right fit for the job. I can only say that in the end I’ve dodged a bullet and I’m grateful that I got to see how this company treats people.

Pros

The wage is weekly but not as much as is stated.

Cons

They don't have the work, yet they will take you on and say they have work all over the north west for live in carers. If a contract ends early you only get paid for the days you work rather than for the days you have been booked, and they don't have another job to send you to. I was expected to work from 7 am till 11 pm and do numerous night calls but that wasn't reflected in the pay. They only call when something has gone wrong on a job and they want cover straight away. When you travel to your job and send in travel expenses you would expect this to be shown on your wage slip or payed back separately this did not happen.
