Training is very inadequate there, it is a start up so they do the best they can and I know they're working on it. My first month out of training I was the top of my training class with the most completed appointments. I started having health issue and because of this I required more time off. I have never had to request so much time off in my entire work career. Because of this I could feel the resentment from my manager and our relationship went down hill from there. .Whenever I asked my manager about going to the doctor he would make me feel bad for something that was completely out of my control. To add, I went on a 7 week streak only reaching a few people due to vacation and holidays. To combat this I was meeting with several senior reps and doing cold calls with them, calling from my cell phone, calling different leads every day, doing my own research. On top of this I was making 80+ call a day. My manager never offered to help me in those 7 weeks or warned me that my job was in jeopardy. I understand where the resentment came from, I had resentment for my own situation.
The atmosphere reminds me of a frat house, just to give you an idea we had several kegs in our lunch room.For most this would be a pro, however, it makes for a very unprofessional environment.
Also the leads were not great. I was in the Mountain region and because we have very few shows, resulting in fewer hot leads as the other regions. We ended up getting new leads, however, they did not qualify for our program and/or the contact information was wrong. This made it extremely frustrating trying to do your job.
If you are in recovery or are used to dealing with a more professional atmosphere I would look elsewhere. I wanted this to be the job I would retire at, but it wasn't the right fit. I'm not perfect ,I have a part in this as well. I wish things could have panned out differently.
