Business Outlook
Pros
Excited to see some positive changes taking place with corporate direction and culture.
Cons
Base pay or commission does not take into account counselors in slower, rural markets. It is very difficult to attract and retain talent under those parameters, especially in rural markets. Blaming counselors for not doing enough to earn their pay does not help and ultimately causes talented, qualified people to look elsewhere. Remember, in many places in the US, the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. GM structure is a step in the right direction, however it has been rushed into place in some markets, with some GMs now being less qualified than many of the people they are managers of.
