Great concept, poor reality

Pros

For part-time employees the scheduling flexibility is great. As long as you average 3 days a week available for a team member, you can spread them however you want. The concept of the company is great and helping seniors transition to their retirement situations is an wonderfully valuable service. There are some incredible people working for this company. They are big on internal promotion. Feedback is encouraged.

Cons

While you can choose what days to make yourself available to work, you cannot choose your hours. They vary wildly. The disconnect between corporate and the field employees who actually perform the work is huge. Rules and policies come out without any understanding of how things actually work, and they frequently change. The disparity between all the great things we are told and reality is stark. Communication is poor, frustration is high, and morale is awful. There is a lack of consistency on projects - some go fantastic, some bomb. Be careful with your feedback - it can negatively affect your evaluation.

Creates False Expectations

Pros

Decent PTO, liberal with paid holidays (for salary), decent office hours

Cons

They removed any and all maternity leave which is odd for a "culturally relevant" company. The head of HR claims to be helpful and market centric but never responds to emails and calls. Constantly throws the team under the bus, when in reality there is a HUGE lack of management. Says they want to be transparent, but they really create a show to distract you from what is really going on behind the scenes. Owners have good intentions but they need to trim fat from the top- in order to save the masses that keep them afloat.

Pros

Helping seniors during challenging life transitions.

Cons

Focus is on revenue and expense reduction which makes sense as a growing corporation. Monthly all-employee calls has a Mr. Rogers' intro telling employees to be kind, etc. It was patronizing and insulting. The rest of the meeting focused on revenue. Calling out top revenue producers who have "Client Experience" in their job titles. Clearly should be a job title change.
