Pros

There some opportunities to make an above average income. Not a bad stepping stone job in sales. May not be best for an experienced sales professional. Keeps you involved in sports and recruiting, which is good if you want to return to a coaching role later.

Cons

Maybe the most misleading part of the job is when they say you can manage your own schedule. You cannot! You have to work their "suggested primetime slots". This role offers little work/life balance. I left this position because I was burned out from it. There is also very little room for growth. You can hit over 100% of your sales goal every year, but that doesn't mean you would get promoted. It's still a growing company, and due to the fact you must talk with families when they are available some of these things will never change. However, they should find a way to make it a more bearable schedule.

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
