Pros

I just took the job for the paycheck

Cons

Most people here are stretched to their limits. The workload keeps on increasing, and there is hardly time to relax at the office. I felt immense pressure and couldn't think of surviving here for long.

We take these reviews seriously and work hard to proactively be on the lookout for areas in the business that require attention. In your review you say that you took a sales job just for a paycheck? Our new sales hires go through an extensive training program, and new Reps in the program won't have a sales target for at least six weeks after they start with us. Since March of last year, new sales reps have averaged 100% of their targets for their first three months after training. Sales jobs typically come with monthly targets, which adds a competitive component to the job. Taking a sales job "just for the paycheck" might not been the best type of job to accept; had we known that was the case we would have advised you to look at a different role. In the end it appears no one won here and that was not the intent when we made you an offer that you decided to accept. Hopefully you were able to find a job that is better suited for what you want to accomplish. Best of luck to you, thank you for taking the time to give others insight on your experience..

Pros

Work life balance. It is motivation to look for better employment opportunities.

Cons

Ive not experienced any other work circumstances like I have with JGW and I pray that I never do again. It took me reaching out to my manager numerous times and getting no response and reaching out to HR 3 times to finally get clarification on what the correct pay would be, when accepting the job offer I was given incorrect information on how the commission break down works, that took me being employed for 3 months to finally get that answer but it opened my eyes to realize ALL of management lacks proper communication skills. The accounts we are given are terrible I have kept track of the accounts I am reviewing in a day after typically reviewing 100 accounts in a day there is usually only 5-7 accounts that are successful to send offers on this is less than 10%. The communication between customer service and negotiators are horrible, and their processes are ages behind. The customers go with JGW due to the name but they are light years behind other debt settlement companies.
