Pros

The position of Caregiver affords the opportunity to meet some wonderful Seniors. Helping others with day-to-day care and activities is very rewarding. 99% of the clients are so appreciative.

Cons

The client shift list grows faster than the list of available employees. Employees are constantly asked to take on more work. High turnover of employees. Will hire anyone off the street.

Pros

Some of the office staff are nice, enjoyed working with the elderly, director genuinely cares

Cons

Expected to work odd, long hours. Schedulers don't care if you start your day at 6AM and your last shift ends at 9PM. If you get sick, you're responsible for finding coverage for your shifts which can be quite difficult. Sometimes you won't be able to get any coverage, the office schedulers are of absolutely no help, and you have no choice but to go to work sick. I once had a bad migraine which I brought to the attention of the schedulers and was forced to finish up my remaining 8 hours of work because they couldn't find anyone to cover for me and have no type of on-call system in place.
