Pros

2 days per week at home, decent PTO, everyone is young, company outings

Cons

Really not much good to say. The title “district manager” is very misleading as it is just a name to sell the job. You are far from managing anything. You will spend all day, every day, cold calling ADP clients who have already had 10 reps reach out and try to sell them the same product over the past year. Favoritism is huge and if you are not performing well you’ll be a black sheep. You are only as valuable as the amount of sales you make, period. You will likely be given a mentor early on which is really just a feeder system to give tenured reps warm leads and then split commission. Lack of privacy in office. People everywhere, can hardly hear yourself think let alone speak to clients. Lack of digital privacy as well as all of your activity is tracked. You will be pushed to make more calls, more emails and do anything to get the sale. There is very little room for promotion or upward mobility besides becoming a sales “executive” which are just those who have stuck it out for several years and performed well and now have a team of reps. The unfortunate reality is many of these small business owners do not know what they’re purchasing and most do not want to speak to you nor care about labor law posters or state mandates in their handbook. Shady tactics often used by scaring them with risk of an “audit”.

Pros

The talent is there. My immediate coworkers are phenomenal. Benefits are well.

Cons

- why am I doing the work of an accountant? - no support across-the-board. Other departments direct all issues to you (this position). - management is more concerned on call volume , with no regards to the other work related duties you're responsible for. - No room for growth! Picture yourself thriving, being rewarded for your work & when you mention other internal opportunities, you suddenly need improvement in various areas. - The raises received over the years are just disrespectful. All in all, it's a glorified call center.

Pros

There are people who do want to help others to learn.

Cons

Company constantly messages the employees about NPS scores ad nauseam. You will work 60+ hours a week and the managers and management won't bat an eyelash. The work load is insane and if you do work heavy hours the company will put it on the employees for doing so. So really, it's never the companies fault that you felt the need to work OT to meet milestones so that the client doesn't complain and get the best feedback ever. It's never the manager that has to help the employees with the avalanche of work. It's not the companies fault the people have to work through lunch and literally sit at the desk all the day working. It's not upper managements fault that they set unrealistic expectations and ignore the calls from staff that they are overworked and burnt out. See a pattern here? The company is never at fault, don't have to help the employees even if they ask for help and and if there is turnover, well it's because the people couldn't handle it. Has nothing to do with the culture of insanity. Also you're expected to come into the office 3 days a week if your not remote. It's 2022 and you are expected to come into work, be in meetings all day, work until you're exhausted but boy all of that camaraderie is to be had. People are too busy to even do anything but go to the bathroom. The company will try to combat negativity by throwing trinkets at you, give you t-shirts, free lunches, etc but it gets old quick and you realize the time you spent working could have been with your family. The interview is key. It's what they don't tell you. Don't get lulled into a sense of warm and fuzzy. It's brutal and people who leave are the once who see through the garbage.
