CARING TRANSITIONS

For the brief time I worked there, I learned a new layer of consultative sales due to varied and diverse background of potential client base. Management was mostly encouraging to help, lend a hand, train by example, and openly share their expertise and experience within the franchise world. 
The downside was brand management executives which was only 3 out of  5, so the support had to come from other brand presidents. Admittedly, I was slower than anticipated to get going when the virus hit and many were cut loose. I felt I was on the edge of landing a few deals when I was laid off even though several directors had taken longer to get their first sale when I was laid off.  All in all, it was a great experience and am thankful to have had the opportunity. They truly have great brands and I hope the prospective franchisees I was talking to upon my departure are followed up with.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. This is hands down the most demeaning company that I’ve ever worked for.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The upper management will consistently lie about everything.   It’s very difficult to keep up with their tales.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s horrible.  You often wonder how did you suddenly become so negative.  It’s the  company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You are always busy, because you’ll be doing the work of multiple people.  You will expected to perform Herculean tasks while the massive layer of upper management does nothing but critique.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible schedule, nice coworkers, helping seniors, something new everyday. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pay, no benefits, unreliable work, bad management. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Team environment when working on site.  There is a lot of favoritism, bad communication and passive aggressive behavior from management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Helping seniors relocate packing and unpacking, assisting with estate sales.

I worked for operations and then moved up to the sales floor. Biggest mistake I have ever made. It’s a revolving door.  The SR. VP of Sales really needs to improve his people skills. I’ve never seen so much belittling in my life. Don’t dare stand your ground with him because it will result in termination. Absolutely nothing will be done about bad behavior if you go to HR, you will also have a target on your back. When they have no excuse to fire you, because you actually do your job, they will “eliminate” your job, retitle it, and hire someone new who is doing the same exact job as you.

After having spent an untold amount of years there, I can tell you that this is a very caustic enviorment to work in. It is an enviorment where you are underpaid and overworked. It's not unusual for you to be called names, and yelled at on a regular basis. Also, the franchises don't have either the funds or the support they need. Due to this, the fallout rate is very high, close to 70%. Most franchisees will fail. There are much better franchisors to work with.

caring transitions is a great place to work. every one is so friendly and we have alot of laughs while working together. the clients are absolutly amazing and friendly, and the look on their faces when we have completed a move or a clean out is priceless

This job was interesting as you got to see a lot of different antique items. And help people move out of their homes so you felt like you were providing a service. It was very fast paced and there's a lot of heavy lifting involved for the pay.

This is a great side job for anyone wanting to have a flexible work schedule and feel like you are making a difference.  No experience required. If you are interested in antiques or if you are good at organizing, this would be a good job for you. 

Helping seniors do what they couldn't do on their own is the most rewarding part. Lots of variety in the work encountered but knowing that you've helped a family that couldn't have done it without you is the greatest reward. 

Does not promote from within, is very stressful and thankless. Management really needs to pay more attention to its employee's concerns. Immediate supervisor really needs to take some classes on how to manage.
