Extremely stressful

Pros

You get a chance to help the elderly and disabled to improve their lives. That is about all I can think of.

Cons

Far too few people doing far too much work. Morale is low. Apathy is high. Corporate only cares about profits and bean counting. Poor wages and benefits. Service techs have to use their own tools. Admin staff have frequent computer issues because the new system isn't stable. Worst staff turnover of any company I have worked for.

Disorganisation

Recommend

Pros

Co-workers are excellent. Everyone cares deeply about the wheelchair users we help. There is no 'punch clock'. The work is very independent and there is a lot to learn in this interesting and niche field. There is very little gossip, everyone seems to get along.

Cons

Severe disorganization and a reliance on people when we should rely on systems. Huge problems with warehousing, scheduling, ordering, logistics, but the demand is so high and the competition so little that the company is not motivated to change. Managers come and go what seems like every few months, and try to implement huge changes that fail because they don't know the industry. Employees know a lot more than managers but don't have power to implement change and don't want to become managers because we see them getting fired/let go/quitting all the time.

Motion Care$$

Pros

Great people that care about their clients (store level). Great feeling of making a difference in peoples lives. Good pay for sales staff.

Cons

Can't even follow Employment Standards rule for payroll/OT. More concerned about the image shareholder see than the clients see. Promise change but never really deliver any. Not sure if upper management is uniformed or indifferent.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your dedication to making life accessible for our clients as a Motion employee. We appreciate knowing what’s on the minds of our employees, current or former and good or bad, because we want to know what we need to do to make Motion an even better place to be. The last year at Motion has been filled with change and action, but we know that change can come with a sense of uncertainty for some of our employees. As we continue to evolve, it’s important that we share the ways that we have taken action to increase communication with our employees. Your Regional Director and the HR team is always available to chat about your concerns. We’ve introduced Workplace by Facebook to ensure that we have a two-way communication channel and that we are getting news about our company to our employees as quickly as possible. We also provide the ongoing opportunity for our employees to share their suggestions about how we can continue to make Motion a great place to work through our Employee Suggestion Box. It’s also important to share that we recently changed our people/payroll system and processes, to provide more accuracy and transparency while ensuring Motion meets all legislative requirements. And in February 2019, we look forward launching an enhanced learning platform through which we can invest in our people by offering new and improved training programs.
