Pros
The friendship and fun loving atmosphere they provide is great. They are always having mini parties, handing out energy drinks, celebrating silly holidays and so on. They also have a great training structure that has helped me in many other aspects of my life, and you get to go to it once a week. They also have a lot of benefits like discounted gym memberships to Golds, free health care after a year, tuition reimbursement and so on. They are also great to work with as far as scheduling goes.
Cons
There is a MAJOR downside to their benefits. You cannot get free health care til you've worked there for over a year. Sounds fair to me. However this just goes to show how very little people make it past a year. Same thing goes for tuition reimbursement, after 90 days you can apply before your class actually starts. And they pay out the day it ends as long as you are still an employee. However, once I applied I felt that I put a big target on to fire me so they could avoid paying me $2,000 in reimbursement. They also make it sound like it's so easy and do-able to get a coaching or management position if you work hard. Yeah right! I've never seen anybody that's been promoted, only them downsizing on management and letting coaches go all the time! The atmosphere can be fun, but it also attracts a lot of young college students creating a high school like work environment. There is a lot of gossip, he said she said, drama and horny young adults. But, maybe you're into that kind of thing. The company will treat you like gold if your'e doing well, management is great at patting you on the back and making you feel awesome. On the flip side, they are also great at making you feel worthless. This job has been the biggest emotional roller coaster not only for myself, but for my coworkers and even my family. You're either high as a kite their or lower then low. No middle ground. The pressure is intense! You're expected (minimum) to sell at least 20% of your calls. Sounds easy right? However more then half of the calls that come in are for customer service- you are still accountable for the those calls. I was selling at a 30% conversion rate for the last 3 months and have had great relationships with all my coaches. However, this past week I've had a really hard time 3 days in a row. I am now being let go because of the sales metrics in the last 3 days. Nobody cares that I've been doing excellent the past 3 months. Their love for you is only as great as your last sale. If you want to live your life in constant fear of being let go at any moment for not selling a call- by all means apply for Clearlink! I would recommend this job as a great TEMPORARY position while you are finding another job.
