-In order to meet monthly quota expect a minimum of 100+ calls a day
-Dynamic commission structure that sometimes benefits your strengths or highlights your weaknesses (varies for everyone)
-As it's been stated, you are selling to real estate agents. A lot of pressure to push an expensive product onto a semi-struggling agent within the first conversation
-Wide range of co-workers from fresh out of college to fourth "career" change; affects the overall morale of the workplace.
-High stress. It's not a glamorous sales position, you will more times than not be aware of where you are and where you are supposed to be. It takes a toll on your mood and can carry over once the day is done
-It's a call center! You will cold-call real estate agents all over the country and deal with every personality type imaginable.
While I was only there a few months I took the reviews I saw of Trulia into account and was actually surprised to hear a lot of my concerns addressed unsolicited throughout the hiring process. There was no bait and switch. I knew exactly what the job was going to be. So it's hard to be extremely negative about a place that didn't sell me a bill of goods. If you can handle rejection, don't mind making a 100+ calls a day, there is a lot of money to be made. Everyone knows who the top performers are and its an environment that encourages teamwork instead of pitting you head to head against your peer.
It was one of the most stressful sales environment I've ever been in. There is a reason why there is a ridiculous turnover rate. By the time I left there were only 4 of the original 12 people I started with after 3-months. Every day is the same routine. But each day I felt like I was losing a piece of my soul.
