Pros

Working with some amazing seniors. Learning so much from their stories and life experiences. Just having the opportunity to give back something in return for their contribution to society gives me total fulfillment. Just knowing while you are there to care for them even though for a short time they will recieve the best care possible from you. I'm grateful!

Cons

My office in Olympia Wa. pulls you in with such a wonderful speech. When you have given the company all of you and for a REWARD they give your clients and hours to the new hires. When you have earned your PTO time after a year they find a BOGUS reason to not pay you. The managment in this office is very decietful in their tactics to make sure you get NOTHING for your hard work . It is DISGUSTING to treat your employees this way.

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.
