Pros
They did prioritise hiring minorities/ immigrant workers (easier to exploit) There are some amazing human beings trying their best to support the clients reliant on mecwacare.
Cons
Please, do not work here unless you are literally desperate. I know most people reading these assume these negative reviews are just disgruntled workers who weren't good at their job but trust me - the negative reviews are justified. As somebody who saw every environment this business offers (I worked within head office and on sites regularly as part of my role) I have witnessed neglect and harmful, toxic behavior to both residents and staff. This organisation is NOT worth your mental health and sense of self-worth. In a righteous world, this organisation would collapse under the ego and mismanagement of the CEO and other senior management who prop up this literal narcissist. Don't believe me? Google "mecwacare boroondara controversy" this is not an exceptional, one off event, rather is just a publicised version of something that happens often within mecwacare i.e. the CEO prepared to walk over bodies to achieve her goals. As for you as an individual what you can expect from mecwacare: Low salary, extremely hierachial organisation, very few competent workers (mostly anyone competent leaves) lack of respect, pay rises that rarely if ever reflect additional experienced earned during employment and a sense of hopelessness about the world as you witness the mistreatment of the most vulnerable people in our society. If you HAVE to work here, prepare your exit strategy before you even begin.
