Pros
The office provides free snacks and drinks all day and occasionally had catered meals. The office is freezing cold, but admittedly a cool facility with several amenities. The pay is surprisingly good for how little skill it takes to do this job.
Cons
Don't let them fool you. Varsity Tutors hires in sales classes every two weeks because the turnover is ridiculously high, not because they're actually growing. Expect to work a minimum of 50 hours a week with little to no notice of when you'll have to work your overtime. In September we were told we can't use PTO because too many people had quit and they were understaffed. Management is unapproachable and rude. There is absolutely no work-life balance here. Hours are crazy and you're required to work weekends. They were not up-front with me about that in my interview process. For salary, you get a standard salary and monthly bonuses paid out on the second paycheck of the following month of completion. This would be great, but very few reps hit bonus regularly. During the interview process, HR will make it sound like you get to build your clientele over time, but that is not for inside sales reps. Goals are ridiculously high and you'll have to work 60+ hours a week to bonus. If you decide to take a job here, make sure you negotiate the terms of when you can receive your bonuses. They'll make you wait up to a month and a half and won't award you your final bonus if you don't work there the date it is supposed to be paid out. I suppose this is to save them money to make up for the high turnover. After I started working there, I was shocked the poor culture and work life wasn't reflected in Glassdoor reviews I read prior to starting. Turns out it's because after an employee leaves, Varsity Tutors offers them a lump sum of cash to never say anything bad about the company. What a joke. Benefits are average and nothing special. Stock standard package. Don't work here unless you're desperate for money or need something to hold you over until the next big thing. You'll always have at least one weekday off work which is great when you're interviewing for other jobs.
