Pros

- youthful amazing co workers. - cool office

Cons

Where to start. for this job you are expected to be in the office from 8-5 everyday and be available 24/7. At first they give you false hope that you can make big $ from this position. It is all a lie. Commission is non existent. You would need to stay for over a year and have incredible accounts (not realistic in this market). So basically this is a base pay job to make an insane number of cold calls daily. Prospecting is to be done on your own time. If this wasn't enough, you are put on an improvement plan after the first month no matter how well you are doing. This plan and their metrics are crazy and feels like you are in a pressure chamber. Not an awful position to start after school but there is better options out there.

There are logistics with working with Spot. Phone calls sometimes can be long but still it’s shared with the team(s). The merchandise and apparel is a pricey.

Pros

Flexible dress code and ice cream for employee appreciate week, no bonuses just snacks!

Cons

Anti hybrid setting but they’ll expect you to be available 24/7. A lot of internal conflict and arguments between departments. Told to work together but more time is spent trying to prove to the higher ups that a department is failing. Office is pretty quiet, and cold. Downstairs is cozy but upstairs you can smell the men’s bathroom after it’s been used which is near the break area. Pretty much looks like a ghost town upstairs. You will work holidays! Your manager will be too busy to help or manage you because Spot expects too much out of them! Homeless people have made their way into the office many times and women have been followed to their cars and to the front door of Spot. Vandalism happens where you are expected to park and Spot takes no blame and won’t make changes. Lots of hot headed people. One of the managers for a pretty big customer has been seen yelling at many carrier sales members on the floor or through teams. And spot let’s that slide. Spot advertises team building activities and spot swag and a benefit. There really aren’t any “team activities” unless you get hired for a pod that has a manager who cares to work as a team. The spot swag given is about 1 shirt a year or you can pay for the expensive clothing on the online store. They don’t reward long term employee. Two year anniversary expect a 25 dollar gift card to St Elmo’s (where you can afford 1 drink with the gift card). 5 year anniversary is super exciting, you get to pick what gets catered for lunch for all employees. How exciting!! This company has a lot of work to do. At the end of the day, they hire cool people but don’t care to try to retain them. The turn around is insane which makes it hard to become successful here.
