Pros

Other full-time employees often understand the hard work it takes to care for the residents. You don't need experience when you are hired, but it gives you good experience if you continue into the health field.

Cons

All contests and incentives are geared towards part-time staff. Full-time house staff often miss out on incentives which makes it hard to want to continue working. We're already helping out as much as we can, and any OT we do receive is because there is no-one else to work. Continuously understaffed and/or huge staff turnover. Instead of opening more homes, why not try to find something to keep staff around. "Staff appreciation days" are often scheduled when full-time staff are working. We never get the benefit of "hanging out" with other staff to feel "appreciated". It's not geared towards what employees want. Face painting, moon bounce, and a pasta bar at the Roseville office is out of the way for many full-time staff and consisted of things that we would never want to take part in. Sorry I'll pass on the staph infection. This work for profit company or not "non-profit" business does not appreciate their staff to compensate for all the hard work they put in to making sure the residents are well and safe 24/7/365. We essentially get paid the same amount as a burger flipper at a fast food restaurant. Employees at Aldi get paid more than we do. As a full-time staff it is frustrating to work with part-time staff who just use this job as a resume builder. Therefore, they work like 8 hours a week and sometimes that's even too much. It's a struggle to keep them on the schedule. HR would always take in our concerns, but nothing would ever come of it. Waste of time trying to contact HR. Maintenance team is short staffed, things often stay broken for a while before someone can come out and fix it. Double time on a holiday shift does not exist. I went out of my way to pick one up and was denied a month later when I got my paycheck. I just got time and a half of a regular shift. Would have just enjoyed my holiday with my family rather than bending over backwards to help out. It is a very reactive company, rather than proactive. Open sourcing is a joke. The idea's that get approved verses the ones that do not is appalling.

Pros

I started at ACR to gain direct care experience for PA school and I am leaving with skills that I know will be unique to the PA field. I absolutely adore the residents I get to work with and I appreciate all the other resources that ACR has such as the internship program, mentorship program, and leadership opportunities all of which I have taken advantage of and benefited greatly from both professionally.

Cons

Burnout is a factor in any medical related field. ACR does a good job with resources for burnout when you access them.

Pros

Good for students/ internships, a lot of training before sending you into the home to work with residents. Loved building relationships with residents. Rewarding job

Cons

This job varies so much based on what house you are placed at. Most houses are medical, and some are behavioral. Sometimes I felt like I was in over my head during serious medical situations in homes when it was just myself and another staff working. there is a supervisor on call but its scary when they arent in the home with you.
