I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

Rebuttal/fact check:

they donate 0.0015% of every $10+ purchase you make, on a Shursday, when it's raining meatballs; additional terms and conditions apply
[other company]: "we've never heard of them in our lives, but alright I guess?"
"here is the food we advertise! and here is the garbage we slap together next to the dumpster out back that we actually serve at our fine establishments!"

Don't trust anyone who needs to advertise. If they were actually good products/services, they wouldn't need to advertise, as word of mouth and reputation does that for you. You don't see any Rolls-Royce ads on primetime television...

If you find yourself interested because of advertising, always, always be skeptical of all claims. Don't just believe, but research, verify.

How do they get their first customers without advertising?

Friends and family, others who know you and your skills, etc
