Victorian Home Care

*The company had this previous review removed, twice* Worst company I have ever worked for. I was not a caregiver, I was a recruiter. I stopped working here December 2020, and have given this review a lot of thought. I am a professional and like to act like so at a workplace. I was shamed by the branch manager for being “too professional” and me not wanting to be her friend, this is verbatim. I could list so many things this company does illegally. There were so many inconsistencies in the workplace, like wrongful terminations. There’s historical coercion by asking caregivers to post good reviews by giving them good evaluations after they get a bad review (like this one). Recruiting caregivers was difficult because this company did not follow through with incentives offered at time of hire. The branch manager needs to get higher education and take management classes. Branch manager always takes time off and still gets paid for it. Her time off affects her ability to lead, and her ability is subpar. HR won’t do anything about it. But others will get fired for taking time off for valid reasons like COVID scares and illness? The unfairness and discrimination is astonishing. Internal staff have had many mental breakdowns because of the current branch manager. Toxic work environment subconsciously encouraged by the manager that targets people in the office, and caregivers, even when they do their job right and exceed realistic expectations. I felt for the caregivers working at this agency, trying their best, but this company drives them to burnout and don’t care.

The absolute worst experience I have ever had working for a caregiving agency. Staff are incompetent. When hired, Amy was rude and doubted my caregiving experience the first day I met her. Just a FYI I have over 7 years caregiving experience and references from family members Of people i took care of until the end of their life. When working for this company they send you very far away to Santa Cruz and Hollister, if you do not want to travel this far you will either have 4 hours at one client location then have to travel to another for 4 hours OR they will not have work for you. ALSO when it came to being paid they had every excuse from blaming the mail carrier for losing not ONE but TWO checks and then also blaming it on payroll. They did not pay me until a month later first and last check. They will blame you for this discrepancy and put you through the ringer to be compensated for work. Any professional company would take accountability for their mistakes instead of blaming a employee for pay discrepancies I would recommend working at any other agency then this one, they also hang their sign on bonus over you to stay. There are much better agencies then this one in Monterey county.
