Pros

The job is remote, I do require that.

Cons

This position is a 1099 position. Nothing ran smoothly. Upon hiring we were told that we would make commission. That lasted about 3 months. Then you would receive about 150 - 200 calls coming over the dialer. Most days you may get 2 people that answer and either hang up or say they are not interested. This went on for months. Then one day you receive an email that the hours are cut in half. Then payday comes around and no 1099 employees get paid. So they promise you the next day, but no paycheck? Now they pay all the W2 employees, but not 1099 employees. They treat 1099's like a second hand citizen. They had a big company meeting, where one of the principals announced that all W2 employees will get paid for July 4th holiday. Now if the 1099 employees they can get paid but, they have to work. So you show up for work and it is announced that no one would be working that day? What a mess of a company. If you are a 1099 employee they think and treat you like you are less than. No benefits or time off that is paid. I feel for the single mothers that work there. Some live paycheck to paycheck. So for some it is a crisis when they don't pay on time. They sent out Chromebooks that didn't have enough ram to support Salesforce. All you saw in the chats all day is my Salesforce is stuck I have to reboot. They didn't tell the 1099's that the Chromebooks won't work. They let this go on for about a year. Nothing works right there. So glad to be gone.

Pros

The company's mission is very good because you know it is helping older adults improve their lives, enhance their lifestyle, create social connections, and improve their health. That’s beautiful.

Cons

The downside is that the pay is quite low, and even though they promise that your main activity will be organizing virtual or in-person events for older adults and spending time with them, the reality is different. You end up with an overwhelming number of members, sometimes over 600 or even more than 1,000, that you have to call once a month. They promote having 'meaningful interactions,' but in reality, you end up feeling like a call center agent.
