Pros
Unlimited PTO - sorry, just kidding, this "perk" does not really exist (had to have something to put in this box!)
Cons
In reading reviews of NAVEX (specifically AE 1's) some common threads will become apparent - my advice would be to ask direct questions and make sure you are satisfied with the answers before accepting the "job" (certainly would lot call it a Career) - below are a few suggested questions and the legit answers you should receive; Wow, unlimited vacation time that sounds great! Please tell me more - what is the average PTO taken by your sales employees? (Pay no attention to the 3 weeks comment on the career site - you will be lucky to get 3 days of PTO!....seriously) Wow, the President's Club trip sounds amazing and I only have to be at 100% of my number to qualify?!? How many AE 1's went last year? (Only 1 AE1 out of 30+, and that was only because the rep was covering multiple territories due to extremely high turnover). What is the turnover rate for your team? (greater than 60% - if a rep has 12 months in territory they are a seasoned vet, most will leave within one year {and not bc of a promotion - do your research by looking up sales reps on LinkedIn, all short timers} Back to the Unlimited PTO, what are the requirements? (must be at or above your number to request time off bc you do not accrue any vacation time - as we know from our previous question, no one is at or above their number:-( whomp, whomp, whomp....) Is it possible to make a sale and actually owe the company money because of discounting? (Yes, and it is highly encouraged by management, at the end of every month/quarter, to aggressively discount in order to secure business, and I quote "You are paid a base salary, if the company needs revenue it is your duty to heavily discount even if you don't earn commission or go upside down and owe money back to the company" - This one is a hard one to actually believe bc it sounds so absurd, but is 100% legit) Finally, if you enjoy work life balance...dig in on this line of questioning - (Reps are always behind their number so longer hours are required and because you will be classified as an outside rep (even though you are the classic definition of an inside rep) NG is able to sidestep the FSSA requirements for overtime pay - thus overtime is required) I hope this review helps those that have options to avoid this toxic "opportunity". If you must take the job out of necessity, at least you know what to expect.
