Pros

Excellent training which consists of 1 week in Seattle and 6 months from your home office. It's an important job and a great concept. I felt great helping families. Unfortunately, the compensation isn't that great.

Cons

The Eldercare Advisors at A Place for Mom are expected to wear too many hats. They are responsible for advising families (150 at a time which is a full time job in itself), visiting partners and keeping them happy, going out on sales calls to generate new leads and sign new partners. Way too many things for one person to do unless you are prepared to spend 60 hours/week working. They micromanage you which is absurd considering the position is 100% commission with no base salary. The advisors are not assigned territories so you may have 10 advisors working your area. This makes things very complicated for the partners which may have 10 advisors calling them each week or trying to come in to tour their community.

Pros

The company has some great tools to introduce you to the senior care industry. The computer system is top notch and the staff in the corporate office seem very knowledgeable. It is a fast-paced, ever changing business.

Cons

The company relies solely on the internet leads to determine how many advisors to put in every market. The turnover has hurt the companies relationship with the partners and word has gotten out to the potential partners too! The earning potential given by the recruiters is outdated and not at all realistic for the majority of the advisors except for the larger markets like Atlanta. It takes a good 2 years to build up a base of professional referrals and the miledge reimbursement is only 10 cents! Don't walk......run.

Pros

If you want to help people at a personal level, this is the job for you. Be prepared to deal with tears and frustration...it's all part of the job. There is a great level of fulfilment when you do your job right.

Cons

Commission sales can be very difficult. If you do not have a financial safety net or other stable income, then you should look elsewhere.
