Pros

You do have a opportunity to make 4-5k per month. Not easy but possible. The people there are nice. They do have fun. Free lunch on Fridays. Pretty nice job if you are happy making 3k per month.

Cons

They make it sound easy. Like "anyone who works hard can make the target" and therefore make 5k or so a month. I actually have a decent sales background and worked my butt off and was not able to make my target even after 4-5 months of work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and share your experience. We are sorry you did not feel that you could make the impact you expected during your time with us. I just wanted to take a minute and respond to some of your concerns. Our management team and company in general is very open about the process it takes to close deals on a consistent basis and regularly earning $5-$7k per month. I am sure we shared with you during the interview and new hire process that the first 6 months are going to be the toughest time you will have with us. Our product is complex and has many nuances. This makes the learning curve a little longer than other products. Also, this is a pipeline business and you spend the first few months outside of training building your pipeline and becoming acclimated to the sales process. After your first six months, it becomes much easier to navigate the sales process and start increasing your commission. Some of our top producers have taken up to nine months before they hit their stride. It is not ideal, but it is the reality of our business. We are very transparent with this, as we do not want to mislead anyone when making the decision to join our team. I am sorry that you were not able to get to a place where you felt you were making what you needed to. Based on your review, I think you may have thrown in the towel a little too soon. However, we wish you the best in your future endeavors and we thank you for the positive things you have said about us. Best of Luck!

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.
