Pros

Some of the girls I met there were real nice

Cons

Other girls that I met there weren't nice but that can happen anywhere. I was hired at one rate, then when I started training they decided to (without telling anyone) they we would not be getting paid at the agreed upon hire rate but $11.00 an hour. Then I was told I would be getting paid different amounts depending at which home I worked at. Seeing's how I was at experienced lever, I would be getting paid more If I had a home where I was required to do more hands on care, but if I went to a home where I did less, then I wouldn't be getting paid as much and they got to decide how much I would get paid. When I spoke up about it, I was told no one else complained and that is a shame because people need a job and are willing to put up with it just to get a paycheck I have never heard of anything like this in my life and I have done home care for different companies before as well as talked to other home care givers and they never heard of this either.

Pros

Matched clients with same interests

Cons

Not good scheduling manager HR lied When they said $1 per mile when transporting clients, they did NOT reimburse at that rate Payroll/paystubs unclear to intentionally confuse caregivers CarePros who have been loyal to the company have been shat on with lower wages than new-hire employees. They allow clients to be racially biased and hateful towards their caregivers NO BENEFITS and things they advertise are not true! No real flexible schedule that they promote and promise in the job ads NO policy written for things that are unclear for example being on call phones are not provided and time is not paid for unless actively providing cares Management will tell lies to the families about why you don't want to be with a certain client every day of every week and will blame it on them being a difficult client when communicating to the family when in reality schedules and availability with classes does not align. Even with proper notice, the scheduling manager will have attitude and try to convince you that you are the one with the problem even though she does not care to take the time to fully understand each persons preferences or availabilities.
