Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

Only apply for a Sales job here if you enjoy being reminded 2-3 times per day that you have to hit your goal, or you will be fired. Extreme micromanagement. Also, in my second year there, they raised our goals by 33%! That is unheard of in Sales. Not because they had some wonderful new product/service to sell, or because they were venturing into new markets. They did it as a way to lower everyone’s commission by 33%. In essence, they were telling us - you work 1/3 harder for us, and in return, we will do NOTHING extra for you! Basically - work 33% harder to achieve the same pay as you did last year. Management doesn’t care about you or your bills. You are just a number to them. I have been in Sales for 20+ years, and this is BY FAR the worst job I’ve ever had. Save yourself much heartache and aggravation by not becoming part of this company.

Pros

Great coworkers for the most part.

Cons

This is a call center where you are “Dialing for the dollar” which for me feels derogatory. There isn’t a lot you can do to improve your closed deals outside of be lucky and speak to someone who was looking to “purge” anyway. Base is 40-45k do not expect to make more than that. Also it’s not salary, it’s hourly. You have to hit 120% of your goal to make any actual money. They don’t use positive reinforcement to motivate you, it’s all punitive. Make your goals or be placed on a PIP (SIP in this case I guess). This place is a mill. They have one WFH day (Friday) that they constantly threaten to take away. Either give people more WFH days or full time onsite. People are already here 4 days a week what’s the difference, you’re not scaring anyone into being more productive. The company was recently acquired by another large company and all they have done is push the metrics higher. I don’t believe the Shred-it portion of this company will be around much longer due to the highly replicable nature of the service. There are so many competitors who offer this same service for much cheaper. It’s exhausting explaining to customers why they are paying an additional $200 for invisible service fees that are not gas and recycling. It’s not ethical. Also a lot of time is spent fighting over deals with people from other teams which is dehumanizing. I felt like a dog fighting over a bone. Did I personally need this experience? Yes! I learned what I DO NOT WANT. If you’re fresh out of college take the offer do not stay over a year. Get the experience and go apply for a real sales role.
