Pros

Base salary to train and start. Extensive training for one week. Professional offices.

Cons

Highly micromanaged down to the minute. Everyone is a robot. This is purely telemarketing with redundancy targeting mid market small business owners. You are not allowed to have out cell phones, the management is constantly watching you and running metrics and critiquing. It killed my personality and I am GOOD in sales but couldn't handle the stress and micromanagement to that degree.

GENERATIONAL GROUP Response
3y
I read your comment and felt the need to respond. First, sorry to hear that you had this type of experience. I have been working at Generational Equity for over 6 years and I’m currently in the same Senior Business Advisor role as you were. While no working environment is perfect, I can honestly say that for me, Generational has been an excellent place to work. In fact, I would say that this has been the best sales experience in my 30-year career. I hope wherever you land next will be a positive experience for you. And, if anyone is considering Generational Equity and wants to get an insider's opinion, I'm going to provide my number and name here: Blake 214-363-3167.

Pros

It's pretty easy to get hired because they had a very high turnover in the SBA role. The initial training was good. The break room was very nice. The office was aesthetically okay for a cube farm. The pay was competitive, the bonuses came in the form of VISA or AMEX gift cards. Friendly coworkers. If you can hang out for a year or so, you can get another business development job anywhere in town. You'll be special.

Cons

Do not miss more than your one day off during the probation period. The drudgery was expectedly relentless in that role. Most people either quit within three months to a year, or you could be "quitted" involuntarily because of market fluctuations, or if you get on the wrong side of the floor management through no fault of your own, other than they simply do not like you. You'll be put in a situation where you get mostly voicemails or unqualified prospects that should have been vetted, and you'll be terminated for not making sales through your ever-present probation periods. Expect to be on probation throughout your stay. Co-workers in other departments and upper management could be very condescending to the bottom of the company food chain, the SBAs.
