Pros

Pay is great with a good base and an uncapped commission. You should expect to make 100% of your base in commission within your first 2 years. Generous auto allowance and gas card cover the vast majority of your driving expenses. Other travel and entertainment expenses are not limited as long as they are within reason. Overall I very much enjoyed working here and with the team that I worked with including my direct management and senior management.

Cons

Training was very poor coming from outside the industry. There was a 12 week crash course that every position in the company has to take and that was it. I had a ride along with my boss once and software critical to the role was never provided to me. Management had great plans for growth but they frequently changed and made meeting sales goals difficult. I felt supported but things felt a bit fly by night and it was sometimes difficult to get support.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
