Pros

You can make a lot of money from the uncapped commission. A lot of good people work here.

Cons

All you’re selling is on-hold-messaging. Before you start, they pitch the job like you are selling a world class product. It is on-hold-messaging. Upper management treats their employees horribly. From the top to bottom they use scare tactics to make employees feel like they do not have job security. Micromanaging at its finest. They monitor you dials per day, minutes on the phone, and will even listen to every call when a meeting is booked to make sure it is done correctly. Management has no trust in their employees. Turnover is very high. Most employees quit within the first 6 months. Salary is very low. 35k a year. They do not invest in new technology. They use an internal CRM that is very outdated. PTO is extremely frowned upon at this company. The benefits the recruiters pitch to you are not a reality when you start working. They do not allow employees to call in sick the day of because they think the employee is lying. Again, no trust. Work life balance could not be worse.

Pros

My experience at PHMG has been such a fun and rewarding opportunity, especially for someone with little to no experience in sales. It’s a great place to learn, grow, and build confidence while being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed. The culture is one of my favorite parts. Everyone is very welcoming and approachable, always willing to answer questions or offer advice. Since it’s a great starting point for someone new to sales, you never feel like you’re figuring things out alone. The team is supportive, and there are so many opportunities to learn from the people around you. I’ve also really enjoyed the networking opportunities and getting to connect with so many different people across the company. PHMG does a great job creating a fun environment where people work hard but also enjoy what they do. Overall, it’s been an amazing place to start a sales career and build a strong foundation. The skills, relationships, and experience you gain here can set you up for success in future sales roles as well.

Cons

none! I loved my time here.

Pros

PHMG is a great place to breakout in a sales role and gain experience. They offer a 15 week training program called the Academy, where you get first hand coaching, product knowledge and training, and dive head first into an SDR role with constant feedback and support. You also get the commission you earn right away, with a lot of potential to earn extra cash and fun events such as President's club. I was able to attend after my first month and they really want you to experience the fun incentives. Once you graduate the Academy they move you over to a team on the senior sales floor where you still receive constant coaching and support. The team environment is motivating and keeps each day exciting. Everyone is always there to lift you up and keep pushing you to succeed. The culture and environment here is like no other and I was lucky enough to find some of my closest friends at this role. Definitely a work hard play hard mentality where we celebrate the small and big wins daily.

Cons

It is a grind, there are going to be hard days where motivation is hard. It is very metrics focused and you will be cold-calling all day everyday. Kind of the typical entry level role that comes with sales.
