Only 1 shadow shift, low pay, no clear pathway for career development, you dont often know who you are supporting until the morning of your shift (can be hard to prepare in 15 mins before clients arrive), exhausting work, often don't get a lunch break, high turnover of staff (many staff work while they study and then move on)
