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.
