Mondo reviews

Here it goes: 1) This wasn’t my first job out of college like it was for most ISAMs but they treated you as if you were straight stupid. I kid you not, I sat in almost a 2 hour training meeting (keep in mind we have a quota to make) telling us what we could not wear in the office, example #1 being ripped jeans. Wait a second…ripped jeans are NOT professional? GET OUT OF TOWN! My business degree NEVER taught me that! 2) Quota: You are expected to hit a quota everyday, once you start hitting it, they expect more, more, more. Which is to be expected in Sales. However, if for some reason you just hit your quota they’ll ask you why? what could you have done different? how are you going to change what you do tomorrow? As if I wanted to fail or not exceed quota. (Here's a hint: I did the same thing everyday , some days I got 5 meetings, somedays I got 0.... IT'S SALES) 3) Once you start getting more meetings, then they take away accounts that you have been successful with and mastered. There were times where I ran out of people to call… Now you tell me, how are you supposed to hit a quota if you don’t even have enough contacts to reach out to? Oh that’s right! Find more, aka enter in BS contacts that are not worth reaching out to. 4) Overall this job turned me into such a bitter and negative person, I hated who I was because of my job, and felt sick to my stomach every Sunday, knowing what I had to go back to. Some ISAMS would get physically sick from being so nervous about failing and being ostracized in front the office and "ISAM Nation." No one should ever feel that way. 5) Turnover. I can't event count the amount of people I saw leave, and I was only there for 3 months...sad. I'd say there was more turnover than people in the actual office. Worst part is I expressed my concern about this in my interview, they lied. 6) Getting fired. No matter how hard you may try, it won't happen until you quit. They're too cheap to pay unemployment. So they'll make you miserable until you can't deal with it anymore. Long story short, I quit, along with 6 other ISAMs (there were 9 of us) and I got my life back. with a hell of a lot better job/company. ***To all recent college grads out there…you have been warned, respect yourself and don’t settle for this job…they WILL hire you.****

They will advertise that they'll teach you business and sales but really they only teach you how to bug clients incessantly and fit into the typical staffing agency persona. Hours are not just 8am-6pm, but around the clock to meet client needs but that's typical of any agency really but the point is work/life balance isn't achievable. You'll learn what you need to learn, but eventually hit a ceiling if you aren't let go first for quotas that are pretty unrealistic. This is also why longevity at the company is very rare and only in management will you find employees who have been there for any more than 3 years; most people part within 1-2 years after the realization as listed above. There is a huge deal of micromanagement no matter what level you are on but they are trying to work on that issue, I suppose. There is a lot of blatant favoritism as well and (in any company, but this in particular) you will witness a lot of sucking up.
