Pros

Great coworkers who support and cover for each other. 5 star IT team.

Cons

Horrific current new management (Central California team) with no idea of how business works. Both of our managers were promoted from within and are guessing their way through their new role as they do not have business degrees/training. Instead, they insist on working towards tiring metrics and constant busy work to waste our time, while our moves (actual sales) are dropping quickly. I have been with this company for years and have never seen anything like the current culture of micromanagement, constant bullying, threatening and throwing our tenured employees under the bus. These new managers will not stand behind us nor fight for our moves, preferring to keep the partner happy and blame their own team for the very low numbers they are creating. Most of us have one foot out the door and are looking for more lucrative and positive opportunities in the same field. WALK AWAY. I TRIED TO WARN YOU!

Thank you for your feedback and for the years you’ve dedicated to helping families in transition. To be clear, we are a company that strives to promote from within, as you pointed out, and investing in our employees this way is one of our priorities. With many positions, we believe promoting current employees to management, instead of hiring from outside, makes APFM a stronger organization. Additionally, we are a data-driven company, and the metrics we use are intended to help us continue to reach more and more families in need of free guidance and a place for their loved one. We are not always right, but the company’s history has shown us that we create the best relationship with customers when we combine data-driven analysis with emotion-driven instinct to guide our decisions. We appreciate you expressing your general and specific concerns about your experience here. We are open to hearing more about some of your opinions and advice and would be happy to discuss further. Feel free to email us at hr@aplaceformom.com.
