Pros

-if you are looking for a inside sales job this is the place for you -software and technology is very cool and is really simple for families to use -you will get a lot of practice talking to families -the people on the sales staff and recruiting coaches are normally fun people who become friends -benefits package is solid -relaxed dress code -you do constantly get to talk sports

Cons

-CEO is completely out of touch with reality of his own business -top tier VP and management are all yes men- fearful to speak up not wanting to lose their jobs -management team and executives have no real business experience or management/leadership skills when it comes to actually running a company -constant change in message- CEO gets on phone one week saying "we need more deluxe families" and the next saying "we need more free level families " or " we're the experts tell the family what level is based for them" a month later "why are we recommending memberships let the family choose" -company manipulates data to favorably entice families to enroll -customer service wing is great but they are whoa-fully understaffed and company continues to turn blind eye as they focus solely on lining their own pockets -bonuses are constantly achieved by individuals yet never paid out -problems with commission going through on paychecks -low hours and minimal pay -management lacks the straight forwardness that real leaders need- they should just say look we are in this for the money, your power ranking are based off revenue, and you got to pick it up- lets get through these families and find ones that want to buy our product and have the money to do so -salesforce(software) is a nightmare -constant busy work - sending VP's information each night that they already receive if they opened their eyes -constantly changing how we educate families on the front side - such as how we explain our relationship, because we wont come out and say look - we bought your info from one of partners we know you didn't request an evaluation -VPs and CEO always trying to get us to talk around the cost issue- total bait and switch on families -constant turn over

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
