Pros
The positive about ReliaQuest is that you will learn sales- the hard way, with minimal upfront training. The company culture is built around throwing it's new hires to the wolves and see who survives. The company is a unique place and anyone can step right in and gain unlimited commission right out of school and learn the ins and outs of a company. Prizes, trips, and bonuses are always available. It's a start up and things are ever changing so there is always some excitement.
Cons
Don't be late or you'll be doing push-ups. Hours are 7:30 - 6:30 out of obligation rather than use. Everything is micromanaged to the extreme - your CEO may tell you to shut up and dial if you are not making 200 calls a day. Meetings with management are blunt, emotional, and heated with employees either taking it on the chin or boldly disagreeing. There is no mercy - many employees have been fired on the spot for brief performance dips, communicating with other firms, and a variety of other reasons... many of them had own company awards such as "associate of the year" prior - no loyalty. Due to the firings and employees voluntarily leaving, there may be impromptu work thrown on to more rigid employees.
