Pros
Helping consumers with ADL's, learning about their likes and dislikes. Absolutely the best part of working for ALS UP is the consumers, whether you are having a rough day and go to work the moment you step in the door everybody usually cheering clapping and super excited to see you. That is one of the things that made this job worth it, even through difficult times during your shift.b
Kontras
Management was terrible. Alot of coworkers were talked down on, and not talked to. Sometimes they pick and choose which employee is "better" and treat the ones they dislike terribly. Got screamed at while on site in the home from management I told upper management about what was said and the result was "if that even happened" I got screwed out of my vacation hours I earned, because there was no notice given, but other former employees who didn't give a notice indeed received their Etime hours they had accumulated in a last check, got screwed out of the large bonus that everybody received a little less than a week after I left. When you're told you aren't wanted or needed by management why give a notice? Especially when nothing will or had been done. No room for advancement/career growth. Company expects you to put yourself and your family last to the company, can't take care of a sick young child while being a single parent, but management sure can take time for their families and themselves. And expected to work 14hours unless you're a midnight staff. But that's just in one county of the company can't say what rest of the company is like. But there are a couple wonderful home managers that are wonderful people and managers and care about their staff.
