Pros

Good pay, vacation time and benefits. I believe there would be a lot of opportunity in this company if your willing to do the work.

Cons

The schedule is awful. Hopefully you don't have a family to take care of on the side because your life is pretty much revolved around meeting unattainable quotas. Your commission structure changes every few months and has gotten worse and worse every time. They just recently lowered our commission and gave us way more work to do.

Pros

Excellent pay, uncapped commission, great health benefits. You really feel like you're a part of a team with the other consultants. You learn something new every day and the team you work with is always helpful. Management tries to offer as much support as they can.

Cons

The company micromanages you 24/7. They never mention the cold calling in the interviews or the training but are relentless with it once you're on the sales floor. You do multiple jobs as one person and no matter what you do it's never good enough. They don't realize as a consultant that not every interaction is a sales opportunity. Upper management has a poor understanding of what the sales floor is really like and they refuse to acknowledge it. They're focused way too much on "numbers" and not enough on treating employees or customers well to retain them. Zero work/life balance. And the god awful mandatory huddles (even on your days off) that should really be an email that are almost always a complete waste of time with about 15 minutes of useful information.

Pros

Potential to make decent money, Still better commission structure than other carriers, Diversity, Strong regional wireless network. There ARE good people that work here.. But not enough of them.

Cons

Dirt Poor systems, Lack of proprietary tools, ECSG is an AWFUL tool, 1-2 bars of LTE (.5mbps download) in our location AND no Wifi and nobody willing to resolve the issue.. Overpriced accessories are a very hard sell, frequent unobtainable sales numbers. Don't meet numbers? Go on a "PIP" once in a PIP can't transfer to any other position. Don't like your position? Too Bad.. Gotta wait 6mo.. And only then if you're meeting "expectations" It's a mid-sized regional wireless carrier with all the corporate horrors of a Nationwide carrier. I can't stress enough how bad and slow the systems are. Terribly inefficient. ECSG designed to turn every good sales person into a drone.
