Guidance Residential Response

5y

We are so sorry to hear this. Not everyone finds that they fit into the Guidance family. We are a culture of respect and accountability that expects excellence with a strong work ethic. Oftentimes people who cannot thrive in that environment find they need to move on and we always wish them the best in their career.

Beware!

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is potential for good results if you want to have no life, work non-stop, be super-micro-managed, be over-worked, and if you fit-in with their culture.

Cons

Management makes poor decisions and put blame on you. Processing department way over-worked and under-staffed. Regional Managers micro-manage the Account Executives. They have a bad habit of being dishonest; terms discussed and promised at hiring are changed. Mistakes in pay are made.. list goes on and on. Account Executives who leave and discuss with other former Account Executives find they had similar problems. There is high turnover at this company.
