Firstly, it is worth highlighting the incipient debate and production of knowledge about the work of social workers in companies in the area of Social Service, which contributes to the limits related to the theoretical-methodological, ethical-political and technical-operative improvement of professionals and students who work in this area. From the theoretical analysis on the hierarchy of work fields in Social Services, including the public and private sectors, it is clear that the company appears as an illegible place for social workers to work, disregarding all possibilities of Social Service in this socio-occupational space. The (in)visibility and hierarchy regarding the work of social workers in the company permeate training, knowledge production, professional practice and are transposed to users served by these professionals within the scope business. When examining the challenges that face the work of social workers in the company, we come to the conclusion that these factors make it difficult to materialize the Professional Ethical-Political Project.
