Pros

Good training and well established brand name..

Cons

If you dont hit your goals within 3 months, you're out. They suggest that you ask questions and ask for help. But then when you do, it's seen as a sign of weakness. They'll use you to make calls and meet with clients but they wont give you time to develop a relationship. They care about the bottom line and dont care about their employees. They churn and burn employees all the time. I didn't believe it before I started, but saw firsthand that it's true.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
