Avoid at All Costs - Heavy Scientology Themes in the Workplace - Sales Consultant ERP Advisors Group Employee Review

This business operates more like a cult than a real software advisory. Almost immediately, I realized I had made a massive mistake by choosing to work at EAG. Even though they had boasted in the interview process about the training they offered, there was no established training path specific to my role, and the training they did offer included Scientology-based works of L. Ron Hubbard, specifically a book called The Conditions Formula. The founder and Principal Ops expect employees to subscribe to the teachings of Scientology. They even use a piece of software called Mastertech to track employee output and KPIs. According to their website, "Mastertech is the leading publisher of software based in part on the administrative works of L. Ron Hubbard". This is in addition to tracking stats on Google Sheets and Hubspot (3 locations total). I can't understand why a business the prides itself on creating efficiencies for clients operates this way. There is a reason that this company seems to hire only fresh out of college employees, specifically Colorado Christian University grads. In short, this is because they want to be able to underpay their employees. CCU is not a good school, so the owners understand that they can low-ball these candidates easier than CU or CSU grads. It is worth mentioning that there is no diversity at this company. Literally every face on the website is white. The treatment I received from the Principal Ops during my time at EAG bordered on abusive. She was not involved in my development and it quickly became clear to me that she wasn't skilled in teaching people the EAG sales process. She would get frustrated easily with me and expected me to read her mind. I learned that I was the third Sales Consultant to be hired and fired because of the Principal Op's inability to help her new hires, get them confident in the role, and ultimately scale the sales org. I also heard the founder and Principal Ops say some very troubling things. There were racial comments made by the Principal Ops. For example, she said she disliked dealing with Indian prospects and that a black prospect was a "bad diversity hire". The founder told me that they were going to "put me through hell" in order to mold me into the person they wanted me to be. Lastly, the founder said that "women are less valuable to the EAG business because they will eventually have babies and leave". I couldn't believe they would speak to someone they only knew for 3 weeks this way. I wonder how they speak to people they really know? In conclusion, there are so many things that this company needs to clean up before scaling from $5m in revenue. Racism, sexism, scientology in the workplace, and bait-and-switch hiring tactics will prevent any future growth. My advice to any new candidates would be to Google the founder with the work "scientology" added and see what you can find. You should also do this exercise with the Principal and several other consultants. It'll quickly become clear how heavily involved in Scientology the founders and many staff members are.
