Pros

Thought it was good work experience and a more stable income than most sales jobs.

Cons

In the time I was there less than a year my office let go approximately 1/3 of the office and that was normal. You are put on the spot and made to do multiple role plays where it is recommended for the "client" to be as rude and ridiculous as possible and then your efforts are criticized in front of the whole office. Most people in the office don't have a personal life because you are looked at as wierd for wanting to leave anytime before 7p. "Workhorse" is a word I would use to describe this company and it isn't any joke that in the staffing industry they say that working there 1 year equates to 7 years in the real world. Overall everyone I talked to while I was there said the exact same thing about this company only after you come on board. They lie to your face in the interview when asking questions about daily activities.

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.
