Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your recognition of our local sales manager's friendliness and the semi-flexible hours we offer. We take your concerns about the base salary and commission bonuses seriously. While sales roles can be challenging, many of our employees in similar positions have found significant financial success, with numerous individuals earning well over six figures. We understand that financial stability is crucial, and we are continuously looking for ways to improve our compensation structure to better support our team. We are also committed to creating a supportive and motivating work environment. Your suggestions regarding hybrid and remote options, simplifying the compensation plan, and providing more immediate compensation for quality opportunities generated are all valuable insights. These changes could indeed attract better talent, improve our culture, and reduce turnover. If you're interested in discussing further how our sales roles offer rewarding financial opportunities for those who have had success in previous sales positions, we would be more than happy to connect with you. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are always striving to enhance the experience of our employees, and your feedback helps us in that endeavor. Best regards,

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.
