Pros

I love the support we get to achieve our goals through ongoing training and development, and the constant focus on providing us with the best technology. I also love that we have a support team from accounting, IT, HR, and regional directors to keep focused on the task at hand, which is connecting with people.

Cons

It's hard work, but no job is easy. For some, it may be surprising that you are accountable to yourself, so it takes focus, commitment, dedication, and perseverance. Work-life balance comes from what you put into your business to achieve what you want out of it.

Pros

I’ve had the opportunity to work on both sides, internally as a W-2 employee and as a 1099 partner. Across both experiences, your voice is genuinely heard, feedback is encouraged, and the core values are truly lived out. There’s a strong people-first culture that isn’t just talk, it consistently shows up in how the team operates every day. You’re treated like a business partner, not a cog in the wheel. There’s a real commitment to your success, with clear goals, support, and access to help whenever needed. The culture is collaborative and growth-focused, with a shared commitment to excellence and delivering high-quality service, without the distractions of office politics.

Cons

It’s very much a “you get what you put in” environment. If you’re not fully engaged, the level of support may feel less visible, which is fair but important to understand and not take personal. It’s a self-driven model, so staying proactive, asking for help, and remaining consistent are key. Another potential downside is the highly performance-driven nature of the role. Expectations and metrics are clearly defined, but there’s limited hand-holding if you fall short. Success depends on staying ahead of your goals and seeking support early, as it can otherwise feel like there’s little room to recover if you do fall behind.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your expriences especially having seen both sides as an employee and a 1099 partner. Your perspective means a lot. We’ve always tried to build something where people feel heard, where feedback actually goes somewhere, and where our core values show up in how we operate and not just on paper. Glad that is coming through in your experience. You also said it well on the flip side. This is a performance-driven, self-directed environment. We’ll give you the tools, support, and access to be successful, but it does come down to what you put into it. The people who stay engaged, stay consistent, and ask for engage early, and stay consistent, tend to do really well here. We appreciate you calling that out for others who are considering joining us.
