Pros

Great starter job right out of college, awesome coworkers and for the most part a good cause helping students get college scholarships. Great training and learn a whole lot during the process.

Cons

The salary is terrible, forced to work weekends and no such thing as a work life balance. You will burn yourself out and wonder why you are not hitting the numbers you used to. Very high turnover rate and even if you think you are killing it, then have 2 bad months and are threatened to lose you're job....... No such thing as taking time off as if you do you will be paid with the terrible base salary and no chance at commission.

NCSA College Recruiting Response

As a former employee, I appreciate you taking the time to review your time at NCSA. I agree, NCSA is a great place to work with our amazing teammates and allowing us the opportunity to change high school student-athletes lives! Our entry level sales role (Recruiting Coordinator or RC) is meant to be an 18-24 month role which is explained during the interview process. We provide RCs extensive training opportunities, the chance to gain some consultative selling experience and encourage individuals to grow professionally through our 6-month Career Development Program. Our hope is for these individuals to move up to the Senior Sales role at NCSA or to another position at NCSA. Some RCs do decide to make the RC role a longer term career, and others use the skills they learned at NCSA to transition to other sales environments that our company does not currently offer, which we fully support. In regards to work/life balance, our Recruiting Coordinators are expected to work a 40 hour week and have the option to work OT. We do not require anyone in this role to work on weekends as we are very sensitive to work/life balance. I hope you’re enjoying your new career and wish you the best of luck.

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.

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
