Pros

Hard to say good vs bad since the company underwent so much change in my one year there. When leads were plentiful, quota was realistic to meet. However the sale force was doubled and you were lucky to get one a day. So, "pro" is uncapped commish potential if you work really hard. Ability to be your own boss-ish. Good culture with catered breakfast on Monday and lunch on Friday. You can select what shift you want and no weekends unless you want. Never told you can't work overtime. Very casual attire.

Cons

4 managers in one year. CRAZY turnover rate. 13hr will be your hourly for the life of your career. A lot of calling cold leads, dead leads, etc. Leads are not dispersed evenly.

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to write out this review. We truly appreciate your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve our culture and the experience we provide to our people. I am not sure how long ago you left our organization but I would like to acknowledge that some of the things you mention in the advice to management and cons are things that we are either working to improve or have already adjusted. We believe in giving everyone a fair shot at leads that they have been qualified to handle, that being the case we now certify our sales floor in not just our product but also in the ability to handle leads based on size. We have transitioned from a round robin type of distribution to an inbound SDR team whose main function is to identify the customer profile and route the leads to the proper team segments. Regarding $13/hr being your pay for life, this is not true now nor has it ever been the case. We have an established career path with goals and objectives that must be attained for advancement. With that advancement through the career path you not only receive opportunity to work with larger organizations, you also earn base pay increase DOE. As well as we conduct yearly reviews and based on performance from the previous year, our employees receive merit increases. Because of security measures and the regulations we must adhere to in our industry, we do not allow people to return to the sales floor after their employment has been terminated. However, I do agree with your feedback that timing can be improved and we will take that into consideration going forward. Again, I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, I hope you can find success and happiness in your next position.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
