Pros
I joined GPAC after a 25-year career in restaurant management. COVID and 25,000 steps a day led me to believe that it was time to apply the skills I had accumulated to something new, a remote position. As an employee for many years, I had my eyes on starting a business but couldn't make sense of it, including justifying the risk. I came across the GPAC opportunity and found I could retain the benefits of being a W2 employee and still start an entrepreneurial venture. With their backing, I could finally get paid what I am worth in proportion to my efforts and not be paid roughly the same as someone mediocre to my left. GPAC gave me world-class training, ongoing continuous learning and supplemental training, a positive culture, access to platforms and tools worth more than $10k, free responsive tech support, legal support, and backing. What small business could I have started with all this and profitability in the 30% to 75% range?? There aren’t any. Mind-blowing. In a publicly traded corporation, one would never be allowed to have access to unlimited earning potential. They would find a way to restrict it. This rare family-owned firm takes pride in seeing life-changing amounts of money get to their team. I have been able to grow my business in the first year with results that eclipsed my annual pay history as a salaried general manager responsible for $3MM to $8MM high-volume upscale restaurant operations. The GPAC model is growing fast at a meteoric rate yielding career growth opportunities! In a year and a half, I have achieved a Coach role supporting the success of 25 recruiters! This now leverages my entire experience base in great and rewarding ways.
Cons
I can’t recommend it enough, but it isn’t for everyone. It may not be the right time in your life to start a business. It was for me, I made it work, thrilled with the results!
