Pros

Lateral movement is pretty easy. You can always take more on, but can’t offload once you own it.

Cons

Stress and toxicity tend to peak through during annual review season. Moving up seems to be kept to the favorites.

It is encouraging to hear that you have found lateral movement to be accessible within the company. We aim to provide a predictable corporate environment where employees feel they can explore different facets of the business. However, we also hear your concerns regarding the difficulty of offloading responsibilities and the stress that can accompany the annual review cycle. We are committed to fostering a culture where career advancement is transparent and based on merit, and your feedback regarding the perception of favoritism is something we take very seriously as we work to improve our internal processes. Thank you for providing this balanced look at your experience.

Pros

Uncapped commission, management, training, teammates

Cons

flawed metrics that seem to reward people who take shortcuts. constant changing of what's being prioritized. PA status that penalizes people for having a bad stretch. some reps will get 20-25 calls each day while others get 2-3 and are still expected to hit certain metrics. time off is too difficult and being a minute late is punished even if you've never been late.

Pros

I met some great people I’m still friends with today.

Cons

Constantly monitor your every move. If you don’t mind being micromanaged like you’re a 6th grader then this company would work for you. No real productive work, just busy work.

It is wonderful to hear that you formed lasting friendships with your colleagues during your time here; our team members are truly our greatest asset. However, it is disheartening to learn that the management style and work environment did not meet your expectations. We strive to foster a culture of trust and professional development, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify areas where we can improve the employee experience.
