Pros

Direct Managers and coworkers are all fantastic, which is difficult to find in a workplace nowadays. If you put in the work and are not afraid to grind, this is a very solid first sales job with pretty decent pay.

Cons

If you stay here longer than two years, you are wasting your time. Only growth opportunities are for an Account Executive role where you had better be ok working 5-6 days per week, nights only M-F, and weekends. Or, you have to be a tenured, top performer and wait for 1-2 SDR Manager jobs to open up that are underpaid relative to market value. Prorating system needs to be adjusted. If you take substantial PTO, you are facing a massive uphill battle to make monthly numbers and to not face disciplinary actions.

Pros

The people are the secret sauce of NCSA - it's a great team that wants win, innovate, and grow together. Lots of opportunities to provide feedback and connect with leadership.

Cons

The work can be challenging and very demanding.

Pros

- Work from home - Get to talk about sports every day, and getting to learn about new sports - Manager was awesome, but I may have been lucky - I heard bad things about other managers! - There are about 10 teams of Recruiting Coordinators, all performing the same role, and each team being managed differently. Not sure if this is a pro or con

Cons

- Making around 100 calls/day - Leads are technically not cold, but they might as well be - lots of families didn't realize what they were signing up for - Over half of the leads in my funnel every day were recycled, i.e. we have called them in the past and they were not interested. Sometimes leads were recycled upwards of 10 times - Making phone calls from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm local time - often calling families at 7 -8 pm their time - Will likely be flagged if you go more than 20 minutes without making a call unless communicating with your manager
