Pros

Are in position to help some families Talk sports Work from home Solid health benefits Great tools for athletes to use With the right changes, it could be a great company to work for again

Cons

No longer qualifies athletes Work 6 1/2 days/week but pressured to work 7 days 1 week/month Sales have become more difficult for 4 big reasons: Website stops working in the middle of your sales call too often New phone system doesn't work Growth has caused diluted leads We are setting everyone even when not qualified. Comp plan is outdated compared to current company landscape

NCSA College Recruiting Response

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. I would encourage you to reach out to me directly please, as I’d like to talk with you further and address some of your concerns directly. In the meantime, I’ll address a few of your points. You list some great pros such as working from home, solid benefits, helping families, talking sports and the strength of our product. As for your concerns, we track any time our website (www.ncsasports.org) or our proprietary technology (Recruit-Match) is not working, and we generally see 100% uptime. When down time does occur, it is typically very brief and promptly rectified, and is usaully not during prime hours. We have experienced some unexpected challenges with our new phone system as you mentioned, most of which have been addressed. While this technical challenge was certainly not ideal, to say the “new phone system doesn’t work” is a massive exaggeration. It sounds like your earnings dropped this last year and I am sorry to hear that. Many of our Specialists had their best year ever. Sales is tough and there will always be ups and downs and positives and negatives. Even though you may not realize it all the time, you work for a company that really cares about its people and is committed to finding new and greater ways for our committed high performing team members to be increasingly successful. I believe fully in our management team and hope you will reach out directly, so we have a chance to help you get back on a winning path.

Pros

The people are the secret sauce of NCSA - it's a great team that wants win, innovate, and grow together. Lots of opportunities to provide feedback and connect with leadership.

Cons

The work can be challenging and very demanding.

Pros

- Work from home - Get to talk about sports every day, and getting to learn about new sports - Manager was awesome, but I may have been lucky - I heard bad things about other managers! - There are about 10 teams of Recruiting Coordinators, all performing the same role, and each team being managed differently. Not sure if this is a pro or con

Cons

- Making around 100 calls/day - Leads are technically not cold, but they might as well be - lots of families didn't realize what they were signing up for - Over half of the leads in my funnel every day were recycled, i.e. we have called them in the past and they were not interested. Sometimes leads were recycled upwards of 10 times - Making phone calls from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm local time - often calling families at 7 -8 pm their time - Will likely be flagged if you go more than 20 minutes without making a call unless communicating with your manager
