Pros

It is super easy to get hired as long as you have six months of caregiving experience. They have an app that is developed by their software engineers. It is better than WellSky. And pretty much that's the only thing good about this company after you get hired.

Cons

In my geographic area, Honor pays $20/hr and charges the client $44 per hour. In my area, the agencies pay in the range of $23-26. For such low pay, the client is getting some less experienced caregivers. Any client who requests anything shorter than an 8 hour shift can expect to get a random caregiver on many occasions. The real caregivers who make a career out of caregiving have set schedules and tend to work 8 hour shifts. They also have to work 35 hours per week to have health insurance, so they wouldn't be picking up short shifts. They also make the caregiver sign an agreement at the beginning of employment to waive overtime for the 9th hour (this overrides labor law which defines overtime as time and a half starting at the 9th hour). If you come 10 minutes early and clock in, they ask you why. I mean, why would they pay you to get an update with the caregiver who is handing off the client to you (when you could voluntarily give the company your time). Also, all the sick time the caregivers accumulate is not allowed to be cashed out.

Pros

Coworkers are great because you're going through the same thing together. With that being said, proceed to the cons

Cons

Where do I start? - Poor Management - Poor Leadership - Poor Operations - No room for growth - Extremely small pay - No overtime pay but expected to work 14 hour days - Zero work life balance - Can't go to your Manager with a concern without being placed on a PIP because they're ready to fire anyone for no reason - Turning Homecare into Amazon - Can care less about the Caregivers. PAY THEM MORE!!!! They claim to but they can really care less about them - To put the cherry on top, they like to approved requested time off and then reverse it after being approved and tell you that you can't go on your approved time off because you need to work holidays.
