Pros
Lovely residents and staff Shift work which can be flexible.
Cons
The company has become too big and corporate. The staff work really hard to keep the residents happy and cared for but the head office is increasingly antagonistic towards their staff. There are no benefits and they only care about money. Bank holiday and Xmas pay keeps going down and down. They will take out your wages if you are 5 minutes late but won't add to it if you stay an hour late to finish a task. They only give you 15 minutes break which is barely time to make a cup of tea and drink it when you are not allowed to eat and drink on the floor and if you are late back will cut your wages. They claim to be person centred but it is all for show. If you are on bank and you call in sick they will punish you by not allowing you to work for 2 weeks. That means they will have to fill your shifts with agency workers. Who through no fault of their own are often under trained and under experienced. Therefore they would rather punish you for being a human and being sick (not wanted to put vulnerable people at risk by coming to work or spreading your virus round the other staff) and have their residents less cared for by agency staff that don't know them or the home. It doesn't matter if you rarely call in sick. They will treat you the same as someone who always calls out. It is so sad that the company has become like this.
