Pros

Independence, truly help families with services, Senior Gems program

Cons

Franchise owner makes or breaks your job. Franchise owners rarely work together. They tend to stab each other in the back. If the franchise owner is not involved, it can make it more difficult to influence potential accounts. All of the hard work that is invested in a family to get them to sign up can be for naught once a mistake is made and refusal of franchise to own the mistake, leaving sales person to face the music with family, referral source and the same owner that holds you accountable for the lost revenue.

Pros

Get to meet wonderful people. Get to see into peoples lives, and treasure getting to know them. Ask questions, get to hear about how they got to where they are, what their philosophies are, their life stories, their advice. The opportunity for connection is limitless.

Cons

Dementia! I learned to love working with dementia patients but be warned if it's your first job with them. Don't take what they say personally. I wish someone had told me that before my first position. It's not about you. It's about them. Second! Beeoches. There are so many old ladies you're going to run into who are BEEOCHES. Don't be afraid to tell the bossman that I'm sorry, this isn't a good fit. I was too afraid to say something and ended up staying with a little old lady who was H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS to work with for two years. Former CEO of a company. Beeoch! Stand up for yourself. If you don't know how, this job will teach you. You'll learn a lot about yourself if you don't know yourself very well!
