Unmanageable Workload and Little Guidance

Business Outlook

Pros

Clear targets and structured goals.

Cons

- The pressure to perform was unrelenting while guidance and support were almost nonexistent - Expectations were impossible to meet - Priorities changed constantly without warning - Feedback focused only on results instead of helping employees improve - The pace was exhausting, leaving no time to recover or actually learn - Over time the crushing demands erased any sense of achievement

This is a performance‑driven role with clear goals and expectations, and while the work can be demanding, we ensure advisors are supported through live trainings, one‑on‑one coaching, leadership accessibility, and dedicated team resources. Many of our advisors consistently meet—and often exceed—their goals with this structure in place. We appreciate your perspective and the opportunity to respond.

A lot of empty promises, lead by used car salesmen

Debt advisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not much to list here, but a lot of my peers are great people

Cons

The pay is a joke, they tell you that the average rep is making 6-10k when only about 10% of the entire is earning a bonus and they top ones are barely making 10k most are working for just the 17/hr. Everyday you are told its going to get better but after a year its only gotten worse. No coaching from leadership, just a review of your numbers and told to do better. Constantly told if you want to earn commission you have to work overtime so work life balance isn't a thing. I came in with such high expectations and have been let down every turn of the corner.

A Job Built on False Hope

Debt advisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers were the only part of this place worth anything.

Cons

- The company runs on fake optimism and endless recycled speeches about how next month will be better, but it never is. - Upper management sells hope while keeping everyone on edge and feeding fear instead of support. - Leads are ineffective, yet employees are blamed when deals fail. - Managers vanish the moment help is needed, leaving staff alone with a dialer most of the day. - Employees are cut immediately after producing results, with no warning or record, just to keep the wins for the company. - High turnover feels deliberate; hire , exploit and discard. -Many sales tactics are unethical, yet they are called strategy. - Anyone who values sanity or ethics will find this place unbearable.
