Pros

Absolutely none! This place offers you hope and a dream. But in actuality, if your extremely desperate for a job then keep looking after you accept this one. Its just not worth the paranoia to worry about your job everyday.

Cons

The corporate politics are so severe there is no point of caring. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job, your at risk. Upper management is quick to throw anyone under the bus in order to save themselves or of course their friends. There is a circle and if your not in it the watch out!! They lie about everything to gtet you in the door and then makeyou miserable. They offered great ay but then eventua;ly found a way to fire anyone making an exponential amount in order to cut costs. They offered free parking as a perk but that was short lived. They babysit you with short cubicle walls and a phone system that records how many times you go to the bathroom. The systems are terrible and they are too cheap to invest in better technology in order to help themselves suceed. There no training. Period! But yet they expect you to perform as though you have been doing this for years.

Pros

GMAC is a corporate name that should be a legacy. Name recognition attracts customers which makes selling a little easier. The location, while diffiicult to reach in downtown Cleveland, is still nicely furnished. Efforts being made [to look like] modern call center facilities are under construction.

Cons

With each passing day, I noticed that what was promised was not only undelivered, it would never be realized. Parking in Cleveland is expensive. Passed were distributed after 8 weeks. Management/ ownership pulled salaries from Sales agents immediately placing agents on full commission AFTER offers of salary and benefits were were made AND accepted. ALL health benefits were pulled. This associate was never given feedback or guidance following 7 weeks of long days and nasty commuting. Instead, my final meeting was complete with unfounded allegations - we call lies; fabrications and here-say. I was escorted from the office mid-day with no indication of unsatisfactory performance. This IS Ohio, after all.

Pros

• The company covers the cost of insurance licensing, which is a financial benefit for new hires. • Remote work opportunities provide flexibility.

Cons

Toxic Management Culture: Once out of training, management frequently emphasized various ways employees could be terminated rather than fostering a supportive and growth-oriented work environment. This approach created an atmosphere of fear rather than motivation. • Unreasonable Performance Expectations: Even with near-perfect Quality Assurance (QA) scores, employees are often placed on Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) immediately after training. This practice undermines employee morale and suggests a predetermined intent to push employees out rather than develop their skills. • Ineffective Coaching & Development: Coaching sessions provided little to no actionable guidance for improving sales performance. Feedback was often focused on minor, nitpicky details rather than strategies to help agents successfully close deals. • Lack of Transparency & Control: The company maintains complete control over call routing, queues, and the types of calls assigned to agents, limiting their ability to succeed and directly impacting commission opportunities. • Non-Competitive Compensation & Unfavorable Hours: The hourly wage is not competitive with industry standards, and scheduling is not conducive to work-life balance. • Bait-and-Switch Hiring Practices: Upon hiring, I was provided with one expectation regarding my schedule, only to have it changed immediately after training, demonstrating a lack of honesty and consistency in their hiring process.
