Pros

The pay is good considering there is no educational prerequisite. The work is engaging, provides high stimulation and requires a great deal of problem solving at peak times.

Cons

Almost no communication from senior management to staff No consideration given to inside promotion, admittedly few positions available that could be considered Acrimonious union/employer relationship - fault on both sides Reactionary work environment - there is very little proactive management occuring, great deal of scapegoating and blame passing Non-cohesive work environment - employees are at times pitted against each other in the office in competition for resources Employees are considered expendable, no appreciation or recognition Extremely poor oversight and quality control in the day to day operations of the office

Pros

Plenty of hours to work. Hourly rate was very good. Regular workers are entitled to benefits, casual workers receive an extra hourly percentage to compensate for vacation time and sick days. The most important reward for me was the gratitude of the vast majority of my clients who were very appreciative of my work.

Cons

The assignments sometimes were in completely different areas of the town, so you have to waste time driving from places too far away. There were frequent scheduling mistakes. It was difficult to get a hold of the nurse in charge or the client's case manager. Upper management was completely detached from day to day operations. Even with the drawbacks, I really enjoyed working there.
