Pros

They give lots of praise and select employee of the week every week, I made my own schedule, it was a pretty simple job

Cons

It was very boring and I rarely left my cubicle, often time people would take credit for someone else's work, some of the quotas were unrealistic and sometimes lack of verifications wasn't your fault

Pros

The office was 5 minutes away from my home.

Cons

As a great sales representative at the peak of your career, you are lured by promises of making great money. You arrive and you get this title of Business Performance Advisor that nobody in any other industry recognizes. Some even get certified! Good luck finding another job after this, you might want to start looking a year before you leave or get fired! When you get there you realize you are a telemarketer and will work harder than any other sales job because you are selling a very expensive per employee per month service. If you ever get to the point where they will teach you, they teach you to use sneaky confusing moves to get business owners to think they are saving money. If you are a good sales person you can pull this off, get some recognition and make NO money. Your stomach will hurt at the thought of telling business owners they will save money, run better, grow faster and make more money. Deep down under the smoke and mirrors, you know it's not true! In reality, they can outsource stuff as they need it instead of paying for the possibility of using all of Insperity's services without signing a CO-EMPLOYMENT agreement. You will watch the hand picked BPA's get sales that have been handed to them by the managers or because you are required to split your hard earned prospecting opportunities. Out of 10 of those possible slim to none chances you dig up, they will maybe close NONE! Interesting how they can close their stuff, but none you bring. Wonder if it's because they are getting leads?!?!?! In every office 3 or so people are there to make it and the rest are just there to generate more chances and to bring in a fluke lucky sale. Eventually the filler BPA's burn out, quit or get fired and are replaced with the next set of dummies. When you look closely you will notice that even the long term reps are struggling because they are having to replace the clients that keep leaving.

Pros

Base is ok, benefits are ok, you get an iPad you'll never use for work, oh and on your way out they will pay you a severance to quit......

Cons

All the reviews about mgmt hand picking a few and feeding them leads is 100% accurate. Rest of BPAs make their base plus little above and slave just to keep their job. Hard to imagine but you're sold on a $250k+ sales job and 10 months later you're begging to keep the avg base salary. But it happens and happens more often than it doesn't. When I asked the top rep on my team what her best year looked like on her W2 and she told me $105k, I immediately looked for a new job, which is where I am making more than $105k in my base alone. In short; awful work environment, grossly unethical mgmt behavior, laughable comp plan, insanely expensive service that very very few SMBs need and can afford, mgmt is trained to chastise BPAs in order to motivate them.
