Pros
Overall it's been excellent. Clear to see the company is very focused on more than just a profit. The support to help achieve success is outstanding. Really the only way not to succeed is to not care. Ramp up took longer and was harder than expected but it was really more about understanding the sales process from both sides. Pros: Lots of people to turn to if you need help, you just need to reach out. Pay is good. Resident and business success stories. It's great knowing the residents really value what we do and great to see businesses reap the benefits of a partnership.
Cons
Mentally it can be challenging at times when business owners don't understand what we do or how it will help. Most have a mentality towards marketing that if they spend a dollar today they want to generate 2 tomorrow. In addition the only questions they've learned to ask are how many homes, how many people. So it's really about educating business owners.
