Pros
*Make your own schedule with ability to change availability each pay period. *Decent pay for the industry. *Good support system in the office. *You know exactly what is expected of you and what to expect at the client's house before you arrive.
Cons
*Most of the client shifts are short shifts (3-5 hours) so you must do multiple shifts in a day to achieve a 40 hour work week. *Gas mileage isn't a thing they give unless going over 20 miles, or on call. Even if going to multiple shifts a day. *Given the nature of the work, the consistency of pay can be tough. If a regular client goes into a treatment facility(hospital, rehab, assisted living facility, etc.) you lose hours and pay you rely on, making budgeting difficult. You are able to pick up open shifts, if they are available and will fit with your other existing shifts. *Management is not always transparent when asked questions they don't wish to answer. I've been talked in circles before and had simple things overexplained, but still leaving my question unanswered.
