Pros

Flexible work schedule is the only plus

Cons

You will be told half truths when you are hired and you are encouraged to tell your clients the same. From the comp plan to your roll with the company, nothing is as it seems. There is no positive culture so don’t let them sell you that garbage. Hard to believe a billion dollar company and the equipment is all attached with cords and no internal phone systems. And the money they refuse to spend on tech, don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s set aside for commission structure or any sort of incentives. Work life balance, also a joke. If you’re not working 8 extra hours a week, you are harassed. I’ve heard you can pay for “best place to work” and now I believe it. All in all, this company is the biggest miss of my professional career.

Pros

If you're looking for a place to use as a stepping stone then this company is a great starting block. However, if you're looking for somewhere to build a career then be prepared to suck up to everyone and anyone. Freedom lives the literal definition of Succession Planning - waiting for someone to die or move on from their role for you to have a 'chance' to advance. Having worked in the HR space, I can tell you that nepotism is rampant, lack of concern towards diverse candidates (don't read or see into their marketing/branding it's a front) - it's not positioned well as a place that values diverse perspectives and backgrounds (go see for yourself).

Cons

Below industry standards for pay No career advancement Stereotypical male-dominated leadership Engineering, Product, Leadership (Manager and above), Data, Marketing are treated as first-class citizens; everyone else is treated like dirt (go read the front-line support roles - those reviews speak volumes). The core values are all hoopla, standard fluff, just writing on the wall.

Pros

They used to pay well.

Cons

This company started with the heart = Dollar model and has change to look more like a corporate greed company. The company has a system that tiers the buckets for leads. That would be ok if you knew how to work hard and move up right? No People like KG who have been there since it has started hook the buddies up and nepotistic-ally select who is in the tiers. Brand and Andrew have been out of touch for years and are the co founders. They continue to be lied to from management and has no idea the hostility that is across the floor. The Job keeps adding more and more tasks and the commission able leads that help you make the $ are going away. Over the last 6 months they have generated two inbound teams that basically with cream the leads and take anyone who is calling directly in. This leaves you with leads that are barely above cold calling criteria. The company is not longer an innovator in the industry and many of the managers who could have had a great positive influence for change have tried and left. The company is being outsold by its competition. Much of the competition are from affiliates that Freedom taught they Debt relief system to. Folks you are selling a very difficult product that nobody reals wants. When you have the pay cuts and lead manipulation its is a miserable job. Sure if you are new hire you may do well for about 6 months. But that is to suck you in and keep you in your seat for real ride. I will be leaving this joint as soon as I can grounded outside of this COVID issue. The Culture is Hostile.
