Pros
The first week of training in Salt Lake City was great.
Cons
Returning to Fort Lauderdale to complete training was disappointing to say the least. Aside from a few people in the training department, our group of new hires found the training staff unprofessional and inexperienced in training techniques and classroom dynamics. The company's core values are a sham-often referenced but more like slogans being tossed around rather than actually incorporating these values or putting them into action. If you're not prepared to work long hours and weekends this company is not for you. Of course the official company line is that people are not required to put in extra time if they can accomplish the goals in a 40 hour week. The big catch is that the sales job goals and goals during training CANNOT be accomplished in a 40 hour week. Whenever someone asked about how to accomplish the job in 40 hours there was only one example offered -the woman who is a single mom with three kids who accomplishes the job in the 40 hour work week. Out of 700 or so employees to have only one example is very telling. This company is looking for people who are willing to devote their life to work. There is a gym and game room/common room on site but few sales people have the time to take advantage of these amenities. Of my training class, 50% quit or were let go before week 8 of training. This company talks a lot about growth however I don't think senior management has thought through their hiring practices, training program and work load expectations. And If the majority of the people you hire are young single individuals, who can work like dogs, at some point your company will be sorely lacking employees with experience, maturity, wisdom and discernment. I'm so glad I didn't waste any more of my life working at this company.
