Cons
High sales targets (commission DOESN'T start till after 300K in sales - resets monthly, 1.5% of all sales above floor + kickers {usually $7ea/unit}) Sandbagging encouraged (delay start dates/ fast-track clients to rack up big monthly sales check [often being inopportune times for clients ]) High turnover rate and fearing you will get tapped on the shoulder if gone days without sale 62+ hours (disappointed in you if you turn down OT) Paid for (free) office food was high in sodium and never vegetarian - disregarding dietary needs of few employees Had to disclose what "type" of break was being used if away from computer longer than 3 minutes of idol ( personal break? bathroom break? lunch break? coffee break? - yeah, super specific big brother stuff) Cameras/microphones in offices above every cubical station minimum 150 dials (often 330+), 25 inbounds (shotgun style - reps with click programs steal calls before you can click answer), 5.5 hours talk time ( this is always a challenge unless you have deals lined up in your pipeline) ANYTHING LESS RESULTS IN CORRECTIVE ACTION. "Fed" reps eat good, everyone else is left to fight over scraps (they wont admit to your face but on the back end there are lead details that define where they source the leads. Based on your performance with closing, the algorithm and management staff will filter the highest priced leads {most likely to close} to the reps they favor)
