Pros

Potential to make money until they cut the commission rate in half. Tickets, none... Can't think of any pros.

Cons

This division is run by a dictator not a leader. The micromanagement is unreal. There is NO job security or stability. It's like working for a 1970's sweatshop. Management hasn't a clue and they need to get rid of the cheerleader who does nothing all day but sends out emails and sets up stupid contests that no one wants to participate in. You are required to send out a minimum of 8 proposals per day, enter your own orders, and do all the follow up work on your own. You must stand most of the day at your desk when your on the phone calling no one. You must have x number of calls per day and be up and perky in the office by 8am. The dictator has no clue what to do or strategy on how to reach his goal. The leads that come in are useless and they make you call on accounts that no one ever wants... thousands that are stagnate. You must put everything in sales force or you are reprimanded. everyday they send out a score sheet on where you stand and how many proposals you sent out.. forget about it if your in RED. You get spoken to. They listen to your calls and record them for playback in front of the group and dissect you. You are ONLY a number regardless of experience. It doesn't matter. They lose valuable sales people because of the mismanagement and horrible leadership. Do NOT take this role, you will be lied to and regret your decision. 3 months of not meeting quota your history!!!!! Pay sucks! they cut the commission in half. You are paid hourly wages. Your given a fitbit to walk around the track while on the phone. if you have a certain amount of steps you get to leave early... The whole place is like a cult. Turnover is rampant. People fired and quit left and right... Stay away from this group!!! Everyone is miserable and hates it.. morale sucks!

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
