Pros

The people I work with are the only reason I'm still here. Dynata employs a great group of people who make as tolerable as possible, it's just a shame that they don't treat their employees better and actually show them that they value their hard work.

Cons

Where do I begin... with all the changes the company has gone through recently, it's understandable that there would be some growing pains, but this is on a whole new level. Don't get too excited over a big sale, because the company can and will move accounts around at their discretion, leaving you with nothing to show for all your hard work. The internal tools are extremely unreliable and inaccurate. Maintenance on internal tools is routinely scheduled for the middle of the work day, because leadership is determined to make it as difficult as possible for you to do your job. Also, don't hold your breath on getting a commission pay out on time (or ever actually--reporting is always inaccurate, and will take FOREVER to be corrected). I would honestly stay far away if you're looking to advance and make good money in sales. Honestly, I'm just waiting eagerly for the next round of layoffs hoping to see my name on there so that I can just be done with the bs already.

I am not sure eagerly waiting to get laid off is a great career development strategy but would happily discuss ways to help you navigate your career while at Dynata. We have many job opportunities internally and do a fair amount of internal promotions (you can review this in the monthly HR newsletter as well as all open positions). I do appreciate your recognizing the amount of effort and change that the company has gone through with the recent mergers. While trying to minimize the impact on the teams there has been disruption, and while unavoidable I do empathize with the frustration it has caused. There has been a lot of focus on harmonizing tools and technology and I believe we are making progress, but it does take time. We are looking at increasing training on new or current systems to help employees navigate more easily.

Pros

flexable hours and reliiable pay for the hours you work. paid bi-weekly

Cons

you had a quota of calls you had to have daily and complete surveys. I could not make people answer their phones. i had to keep people on phone to complete surveys. some surveys would take 30mins! i could get completes. but i got cussed at and screamed at very regularly. i could still get a complete survey even being cussed at. but they kept making itarder with new quota requirements. it became a job that was way too stressful. hours dried up after presidential election. it wasnt very reliable on hours.

Pros

Peers are dedicated to each other and success of the team.

Cons

8+ presidents club winners have resigned in the last 12 months. North America sales leadership operates at a sales manager level and not a strategic thinker or executive leader. Comp plan is designed to hit 90-95% goal and not pay commissions.
