Thank you for your detailed review. You had a lot to say and I will address a few of the points. NCSA has no control over the financial or cultural background in which families come from but what we do have control over is the type of service that we provide to those families. During onboarding, our core values are made clear, which includes world-class service as well as all-in attitude, all-out work ethic. Day to day responsibilities align with our core values and if you feel that it was any other way then we are sorry. NCSA takes pride in the products we offer families and the support that we offer to our employees. HR, VP’s and Managers doors are always open if any employee is struggling.

Pros

-If you like sales and sports, it can be a good mix for you -New Office -Can work from home

Cons

Sales company or Athletic Recruiting Company? Scout or Sales Rep? Value consistent top performers or people that consistently "try" but don't get the job done? Its a Sales company...yet they value weak performers who do it the NCSA way over those who hit their sales goals doing it a different more effective way. Tend to measure success in ways that don't allow you to make money which is backwards in a sales organization. Certain Managers/VP's aren't qualified to be in their positions, lack leadership/work ethic and Exec's don't see this for some reason, yet they keep them around to negatively impact an entire sales team consistently. No room for growth even when you are fully seeking and have earned it.

Pros

Are in position to help some families Talk sports Work from home Solid health benefits Great tools for athletes to use With the right changes, it could be a great company to work for again

Cons

No longer qualifies athletes Work 6 1/2 days/week but pressured to work 7 days 1 week/month Sales have become more difficult for 4 big reasons: Website stops working in the middle of your sales call too often New phone system doesn't work Growth has caused diluted leads We are setting everyone even when not qualified. Comp plan is outdated compared to current company landscape

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. I would encourage you to reach out to me directly please, as I’d like to talk with you further and address some of your concerns directly. In the meantime, I’ll address a few of your points. You list some great pros such as working from home, solid benefits, helping families, talking sports and the strength of our product. As for your concerns, we track any time our website (www.ncsasports.org) or our proprietary technology (Recruit-Match) is not working, and we generally see 100% uptime. When down time does occur, it is typically very brief and promptly rectified, and is usaully not during prime hours. We have experienced some unexpected challenges with our new phone system as you mentioned, most of which have been addressed. While this technical challenge was certainly not ideal, to say the “new phone system doesn’t work” is a massive exaggeration. It sounds like your earnings dropped this last year and I am sorry to hear that. Many of our Specialists had their best year ever. Sales is tough and there will always be ups and downs and positives and negatives. Even though you may not realize it all the time, you work for a company that really cares about its people and is committed to finding new and greater ways for our committed high performing team members to be increasingly successful. I believe fully in our management team and hope you will reach out directly, so we have a chance to help you get back on a winning path.
