This is a very discouraging environment, especially if you are a woman. If you are a woman looking into this job, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere. This is a “bro culture” environment, which does not bother me BUT if you are a man who fits in with the culture you will get treated better. You will have better opportunities to succeed even if you don’t work hard at all. If you are a woman or someone who doesn’t “fit” this environment you will receive very weak leads, little help, and extreme micromanagement. I worked with this a guy on my own team who fit in perfectly, would make 5 calls a day, book nothing, just wandered around the office talking and no one ever said a word to him. People got laid off who worked so hard and he did not, because it’s a favorites game. Also, the market is crashing and they will blame you for that. If you’re in this June class, I’d reconsider. Also this place harasses people like crazy and if you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy RUINING someone’s day then don’t work here. I feel bad for the un resourceful leads they give us. Anyone on earth deserves better than this harassing call center they call a “job”.
