Thanks for your feedback. The smart and driven people of Backstop are definitely part of the reasons why it’s a great place to work and learn. It’s encouraging to hear you’re finding benefit from the hard work we’ve put into our training, management approach and cultural development over the recent past. We’ll continue to strive to build on these going forward as we believe they’re critical to employee success and thus company success. I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts on staff turnover and compensation. We have seen a strong decline in sales staff turnover in the past year but always want to find ways to become better. We’re continuing to evaluate our compensation plans and structures and hope you’ll be willing to share your ideas with your manager so that we can incorporate your thoughts into our ongoing efforts.

Pros

Loved the team I was on. Processes are lock-tight with stellar internal trainings and resources to prepare you for your role. Help was always available from leadership. Pay and benefits were good too.

Cons

Volume of work was way too high creating burnout. Culture was too political and mainly leaning one way. Executives can be way too harsh toward middle management seeing this on more than one occasion on calls.
