Pros

Are in position to help some families Talk sports Work from home Solid health benefits Great tools for athletes to use With the right changes, it could be a great company to work for again

Cons

No longer qualifies athletes Work 6 1/2 days/week but pressured to work 7 days 1 week/month Sales have become more difficult for 4 big reasons: Website stops working in the middle of your sales call too often New phone system doesn't work Growth has caused diluted leads We are setting everyone even when not qualified. Comp plan is outdated compared to current company landscape

NCSA College Recruiting Response

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. I would encourage you to reach out to me directly please, as I’d like to talk with you further and address some of your concerns directly. In the meantime, I’ll address a few of your points. You list some great pros such as working from home, solid benefits, helping families, talking sports and the strength of our product. As for your concerns, we track any time our website (www.ncsasports.org) or our proprietary technology (Recruit-Match) is not working, and we generally see 100% uptime. When down time does occur, it is typically very brief and promptly rectified, and is usaully not during prime hours. We have experienced some unexpected challenges with our new phone system as you mentioned, most of which have been addressed. While this technical challenge was certainly not ideal, to say the “new phone system doesn’t work” is a massive exaggeration. It sounds like your earnings dropped this last year and I am sorry to hear that. Many of our Specialists had their best year ever. Sales is tough and there will always be ups and downs and positives and negatives. Even though you may not realize it all the time, you work for a company that really cares about its people and is committed to finding new and greater ways for our committed high performing team members to be increasingly successful. I believe fully in our management team and hope you will reach out directly, so we have a chance to help you get back on a winning path.

The work can be challenging and very demanding.

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.
