Report
Worked for this company for over a year. At first they were accommodating especially when Corona virus hit. However, since they fired most of the office staff(or people quit) 6 months ago this company has gone downhill fast. They do not train caregivers or support them. Very poor communication. And don't count on them keeping you safe at work,or to help you when you're injured on the job.
