Pros

Rewards Network is conveniently located in downtown Chicago near Union Station and attached to Ogilvie Transportation Center. The offices were recently renovated and are impressive. Employees get nice restaurant discounts.

Cons

Starting salaries are very low, annual reviews are not very structured and raises are minimal, very little opportunity for advancement, low hiring standards.

Pros

fun industry, selling to entreprenuers and meeting with decision makers, relatively short sales cycle, work from home with flexible hours

Cons

horrible company culture, very low morale, out of touch executive team, little to no communication to employees, top people have left and are now competing against the company, decision making authority held by a select few, and they cant make a decision.

Pros

Great Vertical to Work in Training and Follow Up Training is Strong Pay & Benefits Good

Cons

-Instructed NOT to Mention or Use Company Name when canvassing for clients. The reasoning, I have been told is "You dont Want to have prospect come to their own conclusions" - Instructed not to hand our business cards or flyers while cold calling? As a result of this go to market stategy No-One knows who Rewards Network is....after 40 years. -Encouraged to use anonymous hand written "Letter Drops" that make it appear we work for one of our large Hospitality Partners. Potential clients get angry when they realised the 'Hook' -No Assigned Territories, so in my large market there are mulitple reps stopping in the same mulitple restaurants every week. Makes company look silly or not knowing what we are doing. -Extremely High Turn-Over! My Market has had 5 reps come and go in a little over a year, everyone of them great hires in their own way. How can RN afford to do that? -Very deliberate and specific Verbiage around our 'Cash Product' so client is 'Assured' it is not a 'Loan'. While we get their SS#, Bank Statements, business Lic. and CC Statements.......Mmmnn? I always feel dirty afterwards. -The 'Marketing' Products works but no real hard data to demonstrate, get the side-eye when showing anonymous reports. -Bleeding Customers, in my market and nationally. Have to surpass goal every month just to keep at par level. -No Real PTO.
