Pros
*Flexibility to work with the right client (if you get lucky)
Kontras
*Rate of pay is minimum wage *Zero communication with HR (leave MULTIPLE messages, as she never seems to be in office, and never receive a return call) *You are not kept in the loop about health regulations you are required to follow (HR is incredibly incompetent), and if you are late completing those regulations, they will stop paying you with no warning and again no one tries to contact you to notify you previous to cutting you off. *During these times, the client is left without a caretaker. CDR does NOT care about the elderly people that they are supposed to be supporting. *The protocol to punch in is horrible, either you must make a phone call from the elderly client's phone. Or there is an app that takes a full 5 minutes to sign into every time. Date of birth is required, but there is no way to input that information. You must scroll through months and years to input your DOB, and if you accidentally touch a separate area of your screen, you start the process all over. Some aids were born in the 1960s and 1970s.
