      All hype

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      You can make decent money if you do everything they tell you to do.

      Cons

      Some of the things they tell you to do are unethical and involve extensive lying to customers. If you're ready to: 1)Regularly lie, 2) Listen to loud music all day while you're taking customer calls, 3) Deal with constantly shifting quotas and commission structures that generally compromise your ability to make money, 4) Get shot with a Nerf gun at least three times a day, 5) Strongly pressure your customers into buying products they didn't ask for, 6) Be taught a script that involves no creativity or individuality, then you should work here!

      Thanks for your review. We’re sorry to hear you wouldn’t recommend RV, but we appreciate the opportunity to clear up a few points in your post for other Glassdoor visitors. We do not condone unethical sales practices, including misinforming or pressuring customers in any way, and we enforce strict compliance regulations in order to protect our customers, our partners, and our employees. Additionally, we agree that it’s extremely important to learn about our company culture before joining our team, as it may not be the right fit for everyone. If you don’t enjoy contests, music during work hours, or the occasional Nerf war, you may not have the best experience here.

      its a call center don't believe the hype

      Master sales agent
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good benefits, excellent 401k and medical, dental, etc. It's a commission sales position. if you do not sell they won't keep you. Period

      Cons

      Difficult to deal with changing comp plans, sales goals, script changes. Within the month goals and selling strategies will change dramatically. Adapt or else. Ask permission to go to the bathroom. Seriously. You are very expendable. Rapid turnover. Micro-management is an understatement. Extremely stressful work environment. Pressure cooker. Feels like dog years one year here is like 7 years somewhere else. Unprofessional office atmosphere, Be prepared to get shot in the head with a nerf gun when you are trying to close a difficult sale. Coaching from management is essential to success but it won't happen because there are calls on hold so sorry. Only time off the phone is for product change, qa violation or we're putting your stuff in a box and here is the door get out. I worked there almost 6 years and it didn't used to be this way. Company grew way too fast and have people in positions that don't belong there. CEO said many times "they are running a race against bureaucracy that we will eventually lose" Guess what Ric? You lost.

      Amazing Place to Work, Technology Needs More Love

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I had a blast there. I learned a ton and had a lot of creative freedom. The people and environment were great. You are able to build technology however you want as long as you provide a good argument. They mostly use open source technology. They gave me an awesome raise once they knew how capable I was. You can learn a ton about digital marketing and direct sales. They are cutting edge for a sales call center. They sell better than any company they've ever competed against. The build a lot of cool proprietary technology internally, especially on the marketing side. Time there is flexible. Engineers especially have a lot of freedom since they are so valuable and needed. You can work on lots of interesting side projects. You drive your career. Very easily, the best place to work in Charlotte.

      Cons

      Start out with low pay (but can increase quickly if you are a high performer). Software engineers are not as important to them as sales agents and analysts so you are often third in line for things. Engineers could use more professional development programs and structure around career in general. More time to build quality solution would be nice.
