Pros

I've had a good manager and learned a lot.

Cons

Raises are small, and recently the head of our h-r told us we couldn't work from home anymore. In a market where companies are competing harder to hire and keep good employees, A Place For Mom is telling its employees that they have to be in the office every day. If you appreciate work flexibility, you won't find a good fit here anymore.

A Place for Mom Response

Thanks for your feedback. We want to address some of the specific issues you brought up, and provide some clarification. A Place for Mom offers flexible work-from-home solutions for many of our employees. Our long-standing policy has not changed. It is up to each employee and the manager to determine a solution that works for the individual team member and the respective work group. Work from home solutions vary from team to team. We made a recent policy change in our Austin office, which previously encouraged employees to work from anywhere for the month of July. We have discontinued this approach to provide consistency and fairness between our Seattle and Austin teams. This had no impact on our general work from home policy. Thank you for your comments on the annual review process. Total compensation is an important component to our annual review and salary discussions. As part of this process, we conduct regular local market salary reviews to ensure the positions we have in each office are in-line with the market. We have done this recently and are comfortable with our current salary bands and annual raise compensation. We encourage you to talk with your manager if you feel your position and performance is outside of an appropriate salary range.

Pros

The company was great a couple years ago. Great pay, training and trust.

Cons

Now the company is a nightmare. Micromanagement is an understatement. There is no trust between the employee and management. New director has brought morale to a halt. Sales are down and customers aren’t happy either.

Pros

Coworkers are often supportive and willing to share advice, especially when handling difficult family situations.

Cons

The emotional aspect of the job is significant. You're often speaking with people who are overwhelmed, grieving, or dealing with a medical crisis involving a loved one.
