Pros

Decent base pay, flexible schedule

Cons

I have to admit, they sold me during the interview process. The charm, promises, and hearing that the majority of the leads are inbound made me think this was the perfect opportunity. The excitement continued through the first week of training, but once we hit the phones, things started going downhill. Know this: most of the calls you take are from people looking for a small loan to cover an expense, and your job is to convince them into debt relief instead, under the pretense that they have a debt problem. It doesn’t matter if they’re asking for $2,000 or $20,000—that’s our job. It is extremely tedious and soul-crushing to take such calls, knowing you are misleading your clients. If it’s not an inbound call, you’ll be calling extremely old leads who have already told us no or blew us off in the past. A small few are traditional salespeople and are good at deceiving clients, but most people, as other posters have stated, will never even earn a commission. The turnover is insane. I concur that most of the training class is gone by the end of the second month. The base pay is decent, but don’t expect commissions or a clear conscience. When you first get hired, they heavily focus on getting you to refer people. Never refer anyone to a company until you have fully experienced it yourself.

While we respectfully disagree with some of the concerns raised, we appreciate the opportunity to provide clarification. We do not engage in any misleading sales practices; every conversation is compliant with the services we offer. While lead quality can vary, our marketing strategy is built to connect with consumers who can genuinely benefit from our services, and we continually refine that process. many of our advisors successfully convert all leads into meaningful opportunities. Our compensation model is structured to offer strong earning potential and is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains competitive within the industry. While individual experiences may vary, many of our advisors consistently meet and often exceed their goals, finding the role both financially and professionally rewarding. As for team retention, we do not expect high turnover. Many of our advisors have built long-term careers with us. While we welcome referrals from team members who enjoy their work, participation is always voluntary. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the flexibility of the schedule and found the compensation satisfactory.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback as a former Negotiator. Negotiators play a pivotal role in our mission, and we deeply value the persistence, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills they bring to the table. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience felt more stressful than it should have. Our goal is always to provide every team member with the resources, training, and support needed to succeed in what can be a challenging—but also highly impactful—role. Regarding compensation, we remain confident in the competitiveness of our structure, which is designed to offer both stability and meaningful performance-based rewards. Many of our team members find this model motivating and reflective of the value they deliver. That said, we understand that experiences can vary, and we’re committed to continuously monitoring market standards to ensure our offerings remain not only fair but genuinely rewarding. We’re proud of the work our Negotiators do and the results they achieve for our clients, and we regret if your time with us felt otherwise. We’re glad to hear you were satisfied with the timing of the benefits, and we wish you the best.

It was decent a few years ago until they started to change management at the same rate as changing agents.

Cons

Management is clueless. Worst leads in the debt relief industry

We appreciate the opportunity to respond. Our company is led and supported by professionals with years, and in some cases, decades — of direct experience in the debt relief industry. Lead quality, like in any program, can vary due to many factors, but our marketing strategy is built to connect advisors with clients who can truly benefit from our services. Many on our team continue to find success with these efforts, and we remain committed to evolving and strengthening them over time.
