Pros

Laid back atmosphere, food in the kitchen free for all, free access to the internet while "working", freindly people.

Cons

While people are freindly to speak with in person, emails from management are pretty abrasive. The training is okay, but much training isn't needed or before you're on the phones. Management wants input from employees but rarely gives time to do so. I guess we are expected to do it inbetween calls which on a slow day will be MAYBE 15 seconds, and doing it on breaks and lunchs seem unethical. How about getting orgainized and scheduling a time for people to give input rather than take up employees free time to do so. Add to the fact that most/all are contracted via a staffing agency so, vacation time, even working on holidays is a chore. If you want to have memorial day off expect to come into work the following saturday. Even that emergency bathroom break needs to be taken out of your total breaktime for the day. Actually hiring people for the company would be a great plus! Having reasonable benefits, paid time off in a call center atmosphere should be MANDATORY!

Pros

The company can offer strong earning potential and a large enough operation to create real opportunities for sales reps who are in the right segment with the right support at the right time. There are talented people across the organization and certain teams can be collaborative and knowledgeable. The business also has legitimate demand in the home services space, and there is value in the products when the fit is right. For someone who performs well in a fast paced, metric driven environment, there is room to make good money and gain solid experience.

Cons

The culture can feel highly numbers driven in a way that sometimes prioritizes activity volume over strategic selling and long term fit. Management quality varies significantly, and communication around expectations, compensation, and deal flexibility can be inconsistent. In some cases, sales reps may feel pressured to push opportunities that are not ideal fits, which can create frustration and hurt long term client success. There also seems to be limited alignment between leadership, sales, and support teams at times, which can make it harder to execute effectively and build confidence in the process.
