Pros

The pay was decent. Medical benefits were good.

Cons

Worst training structure I've ever experienced at a job. Management was overbearing, un-supportive, and inconsistent and they want you to have no work/life balance whatsoever. Don't be fooled by the "perks and benefits" of this role, it comes with many strings and loopholes. Office culture was non existent and expect favoritism from higher ups. If you thrive in an environment that has more changes in it's management, expectations, sales processes and comp structure than Celine Dion's outfits at a Las Vegas show, than this is the job for you.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to leave this review. I'm sorry that you didn't have a good experience during your time here. You joined while we were growing very rapidly, and constant change and evolving policies came with that growth. We have invested heavily in our training stack with technology, tools, and group training exercises many times per week but we understand that everyone is unique in how they learn and we are sorry we missed the mark with you. It's good feedback for a young start-up as we will continue to enhance this for future employees. We appreciate your comments on quotas. As you know we have a seasonal business and we adjust quotas to those seasons. This is to ensure we have quotas that are reasonable to hit. As a result, we did see most reps hitting and exceeding quota sometimes by 2x and 3x. We strive to over-communicate any quota adjustments to help ensure a balanced commission plan to even out the swings in our industry. Thanks again for taking the time to leave this review and we wish you the best in your career.

Pros

You get to spend a lot of time dancing around like a monkey for these guys.And if you like monkeys, I guess that's a pro

Cons

There are app allows you to do absurd things. Because they don't have faith in people. And then they discriminate against you in ways which is federally illegal. But they don't care, because you'll continue to talk to AI. And when AI doesn't know what to say, it just starts repeating itself like a broken record. This app it needs updated
