Pros

Clean, new building The paychecks clear Great company to work for if you play football

Cons

- Borderline abusive boot camp style training program - No compensation for mandatory 7:30am sales meetings for 2 weeks after employment starts - High pressure boiler room style management and work environment - You are not compensated for time you are available but no calls are coming in, only the time you actually speak to customers. This means that when the calls are slow, it takes almost 12 hours to get paid for 8 - Even when you are doing well, if you average out the amount of hours it took to earn a good paycheck it comes out to around minimum wage or slightly higher - The people they pointed to as examples of success turned out to be fraudulent and faking sales in the end - The entire premise is a bait and switch. Prospective job seekers call answering a job ad hoping for a job, and our role was to convince them to apply for a college program instead - Research the CEO Alex Difrawi, that will be sufficient to back up my claims

Pros

I am proud to be apart of a great innovative, dynamic, and diverse company like Softrock. Softrock has created an amazing atmosphere for all employees during the hiring and training process. All the departments from Human Resources, Media, IT, Marketing, and Management work effectively together to create a fun and professional environment where everyone can feel comfortable, happy, and welcome. Softrock is one of the very few companies known to provide exciting events such as holiday parties, cookouts, and sports so that way everyone can come together to interact and have fun. With the positive feedback and support from Managers, Softrock has managed to grow successfully as a company since 2005 by giving everyone that comes on board an opportunity to grow and achieve a fun exciting long-term career. And last but not least, one of the best things that makes Softrock so unique and a great company compared to other companies is our CEO Alec Difrawi. Not only is Alec recognized for his hard work and dedication managing the company as a whole but also takes the time to get to know everyone individually in every department as much as possible and is aware of everyone's success. In conclusion, this is why I am proud to be working for Softrock.

Cons

One of the things that I least like about Softrock is the long exhausting four step process to get hired and the exhausting , stressfull 12 hour shift for two weeks training only.
