Pros

Flexibility with hours if at full staff. If you just want to get started in the sports business and need the cash it is an easy in. You will work with some of the nicest people and although sometimes they lack professionalism, they are engaging.

Cons

You are a bill collecter. You feel as if you're doing more harm than good. It becomes apparent within a few weeks that you're misleading/scamming people. You will be put into situations repetitively where you are told brutal financial/relational sob stories and due to "contacts" or purely the volume of the calls you can't handle them appropriately. Quickly the people get escalated and then your choices are to cave and be penalized by management or not cave and they threaten to sue... Which you are later penalized for as well. %25 of your day is lose-lose situations, %50 is unhappy customers that you must bend the truth to keep their money, and%25 is making adjustments that they're blindly agreeing to but will probably make them upset in the long run. Don't expect a raise without a fight.

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
