ne downside is the long commutes, which aren't clearly communicated during the hiring process. When I started, I had no idea I’d be driving up to 250 miles a week to reach various contracted work sites. Additionally, schedules and caseloads can change without notice. For example, you might be scheduled for four drive-on sessions, but suddenly have five added to your day without being asked or informed in advance. There’s also a lack of transparency around pay ranges—new hires can sometimes start at the same or even higher rate than more experienced employees.
