Great company, but sales feel like pyramid scheme

Pros

I really love my manager and team. The company culture is great. There really is "limitless" opportunities in commissions and residuals. Product is great and generally considered premier product in the PEO space. Great benefits. $375/month spend card for business expenses.

Cons

I think I got lucky with a great manager and team. I have heard horror stories in other offices, so that is luck of the draw. There are “limitless” opportunities for commissions/residuals but this is a very tough sale and you will find a lot of it is out of you control. Generally we are twice as expensive as our next closest competitor. Corporate doesn’t do much to be competitive on price. Really the only way to make the product less expensive is by taking it out of your own commission/residuals. Company also treats this as if it is a small sales cycle, but in reality it is very long. Corporate barely provides leads and if they do, it goes only to your local senior rep. It almost seems as if their sales strategy is to only feed their senior reps with leads through new sales reps “partnering” with the seniors. It feels a little bit like a pyramid scheme. Upper management is very “what have you done for me lately”, and rarely offer positive feedback when it is warranted.

Pros

Good Base salary, expense card, Aaron the trainer in Kingwood was awesome.

Cons

Toxic culture. A recurring theme you will see on these reviews is that they burn through reps. They positioned this as outside sales but this is a professional solicitation job. If you like: 50 cold calls a day, knocking on doors, the constant threat of being fired and working in an absolutely miserable environment - you probably would like this. You are basically a glorified insurance salesman which is a saturated market. The pricing is ridiculous and makes no sense to anyone, including management. Also, strangely religious undertones for a publically traded company. Texas influence maybe.

Pros

Great salary and training, meet with interesting business owners, and learn about their short and long term strategies to create better places to work. Best benefits package I've seen working in the Bay Area by a long shot. Also, the management here is just phenomenal. I've worked directly for VPs and CEOs at small companies with big egos. Very different seeing how humble the management team is at a multi-billion dollar public company.

Cons

Behind the times in terms of lead generation. Very old school "pound the pavement" attitude. It works, but isn't very efficient as new reps try to figure it out. Had many more inbound lead opportunities at smaller companies with fewer resources because of the content marketing strategy. About a third of new hires don't make it past a year, and I don't think that it needs to be this way.
