I have been with Addus for many years. Seniority counts for nothing here. Raises don't exist! - Home Health Aide Addus HomeCare Employee Review

Pros

I love taking care of the clients, and offering them the services they need to better their lives. That is the ONLY pro to working here.

Cons

They can't provide full time, or even much part time work to long term employees more often then not. I haven't received a raise in over 5 years now, and they say it is due to Health and Welfare not increasing our pay rates? I am sure that is not the case, not for this long anyway. The supervisors do not do their jobs, the client paperwork in the files is never current, nor do they do the employee evaluations on time(once every 2-3 years) but as there are no raises being given, I guess it doesn't really matter that they ignore that part of their jobs as well, right? There is no holiday pay, even if you work major holidays, it's not even time and a half pay rate. There is no paid vacation, even after 10+ years, and there is no paid sick leave, and worst of all, they do not have any kind of insurance or retirement benefits.

Pros

You have guaranteed flexibility because you never have solid work.

Cons

You absolutely cannot depend on this job to pay your bills. You could have a, "job" today aka client and be told they have no work for you the next day. You rarely see or speak with management, you're pretty much out there on your own. They will put you horrible places and pretend they didn't know it was that bad. Not one time was I put anywhere clean or health friendly. It was always smoke and cat ridden. Just because someone says they're okay with it doesn't mean that's the only places you can put them, nor are you ever fully disclosing just how much smoke they're going to have to inhale or cats they're going to have to deal with. They absolutely do not care about you, they just need someone to fill a spot until they're done with you and hire someone else in under 30 seconds.
