Insane Turnover and Stress Everywhere

Debt advisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You learn how to deal with tough calls, but seriously, I'd tell anyone to beware and probably avoid this place.

Cons

I got excited during the interview, but once I started, it was a completely different story. Most of the calls are frustrating and honestly feel wrong, trying to convince people of things they don't really need. The turnover is insane, and you quickly see why so many people leave after a few weeks. Base pay is okay, but making any commission is tough unless you're really aggressive, which makes the job feel exhausting. Training mostly pushes you to refer friends before you even understand the work, which is a huge warning sign. Management barely checks in, and the environment is high-pressure with almost no support.

False promises and impossible expectations destroy morale

Negotiator

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay structure is fair, and the office space is pleasant, but that is the only positive.

Cons

- Goals made no sense compared to the workload and constant system failures. - Every day felt like firefighting rather than achieving anything meaningful. - Clients grew frustrated, and employees were left overwhelmed and unheard. -Feedback that could have solved real problems was ignored repeatedly. - The impossible demands pushed people to quit faster than replacements could be found.
