Pros

Been here for less than six months, but I have already formed an opinion I’d like to share… - So far my colleagues and manager are top notch people. I’m a tough minded hard worker, so it’s a place where I fit in easily. —-Everyone seems to have empathy on top of being demanding (of themselves first), a rare combination in today’s world. This is sad, but I’m used to narcissists and sociopaths trying to sabotage me at every turn. Recently increased year 1 bonus is great. Makes me excited about my potential 1st full year income. With the new first year bonus and work ethic, I expect to break $100k again for the 2nd time in my life. - Good equipment i.e. headsets, hardware, and my cubicle is a welcome change from a boiler room shared sales floor. - Related to #1: People there are encouraging, helpful, and readily lend you their advice. Again, a welcome change from a place where others will throw their own mother under the bus to get ahead. -I didn’t know about the faith aspect of this company until reading through these reviews, but it’s nice to work at a company that is actually guided by a moral compass.

Cons

This is my opinion, and won’t be popular with those who were unsuccessful… - Same old complaints by sales staff who couldn’t cut it… Claiming unfair practices or brown nosing… The reality is you couldn’t cut it. I guess this is common everywhere so it’s not a specific con for this company -I think the training could be tweaked to cater to other “call/conversation” styles. Not everyone can recite scripts lines created by someone else…. Lastly, they could give new SBA’s a “smoother” transition into calls instead of being dragged into the lions den. Again I don’t mind because I’m always on point and meeting expectations, but have seen multiple resignations before their first week on the floor is completed.

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.
