Pros

Fulfilling an essential need for elderly people to live with dignity and independence. Employees are friendly and empathetic.

Cons

After venture capital got heavily involved, the driving goal shifted from serving communities to maximizing revenue at all costs. The target clientele shifted to the wealthy, and a lot of long-time staff were laid off. It's a tough ask to lay off so many people and maintain the culture that made the company successful in the first place.

Pros

The mission is meaningful, and many employees genuinely care about the clients and caregivers they serve. There are talented people throughout the organization who work hard and do their best despite significant challenges. Remote work flexibility is also a positive.

Cons

The company struggles with consistency, accountability, and communication. Priorities frequently change, decisions are often made without considering operational impact, and employees are expected to adapt with little guidance or support. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism. Opportunities, visibility, flexibility, and influence often appear to be driven more by relationships with leadership than by performance or results. Employees are not always held to the same standards, which creates frustration and damages trust. The organization relies heavily on employees to compensate for process gaps, staffing challenges, and system issues rather than addressing root causes. As a result, burnout is common and turnover remains a challenge. Frequent restructuring and shifting priorities make it difficult to build momentum, retain institutional knowledge, or execute long-term strategies effectively. Employees are often asked to do more with less while receiving limited transparency around decisions that directly impact their work. For a company that depends on dedicated employees to drive results, there is often a disconnect between leadership messaging and the day-to-day employee experience.
