Pros

- Free Snacks. However, they forgot to even order the new hires our "Free Lunch" on the first day. Management was more concerned about ordering their own food. - Dress Code. You want to wear sweat pants to work? Go right ahead!

Cons

- Toxic Culture - Poor Leadership - Demanding Schedule - High Expectations - Unprofessional - Glass Ceiling This wannabe "Wolf of Wall Street", "bro" type of office offers no career advancement and urges you to stay complacent. Touted as a "Software Sales" company, FieldEdge will have you making upwards to 100 phone calls a day with little to no recognition. You will be peddling "software" that the customer does not want nor understand. FieldEdge targets companies that are small enough to be using pen and paper to be successful, while trying to shove their app down the customers throat. If you are lucky enough to convince someone to purchase this software, the compensation does not match the effort needed to be successful. Be ready to accept verbal abuse over the phone and a "you'll get em next time, just keep dialing" form of support from leadership. The managers always try to promote "good vibes", but they are just happy because they aren't the ones making the calls. There is a real reason why the reviews of this company are so low, ignore the positive ones, those are just the reviews the company forces new employees to conduct on the first day of work. This border line call center company is a real life Fyre Festival full of management that think they are more important than they really are.

We always appreciate feedback and apologize that you found your time with FieldEdge less than ideal. We do want to take a moment and address some of these items to ensure there is a fair depiction of FieldEdge, most importantly the culture, career advancement and value of our solutions. FieldEdge provides an end-to-end solution for an underserved market when it comes to software. The value we offer is to remove laborious tasks that result from operating a business using pen & paper. Over 10,000 members depend on FieldEdge to run and improve their businesses, and we’re proud to serve them. Some of the things I’m most proud of at FieldEdge are the coaching, development and career advancement opportunities we offer our employees. Our core values reflect making a difference in our customers’ lives as well as our coworkers’. Each new teammate receives thorough onboarding, weekly meetings/training with their manager and a manager whose sole focus is their success. We do not subscribe to a specific sales methodology, rather we take elements from methodologies like SPIN, Selling Above and Below the Line, and Challenger then apply it to our industry. I’m proud to share that 10 SDRs have been promoted or transitioned to departments across the business in the last 3 months. I also want to address the comments about our culture because culture is something we care deeply about and try to protect at all costs. We strive to be inclusive and provide a work environment where people can succeed. We regularly celebrate our wins and we push each other to improve. In no ways do we want to be identified as “Wolf of Wallstreet”, and we certainly do not teach employees to be deceitful, manipulative or disrespectful. We could not be successful if that is our strategy for customer acquisition. 50% of our customers are on month-to-month contracts and our customer retention stats are above benchmarks for software companies. We’re extremely proud of the business and culture we’ve built.

The 5 star reviews are solicited

Pros

The Atlanta office location is good. Free parking. Ping pong table if you’re a bro. “Unlimited vacation” (that no one uses).

Cons

There is a lot of trash talk, the Florida office is a joke and very winey. The actual product is bad but no one seems to care. The five star reviews are solicited mostly from a young inside sales team, obviously we are going to be positive when our boss is watching us write the review. Unless you need some basic sales experience to get your career started avoid. Same goes for other departments. Go work at any of the other software companies in Atlanta.

Thank you for taking the opportunity to provide your feedback. We understand there have been concerns with the product. FieldEdge just completed an extensive 4 day product improvement / planning session that included all parts of the company (product, engineering, support, onboarding, customer success, etc). This meeting was used to plan out the next six month of improvements, enhancement and new features based on customer feedback and industry knowledge including all teams input. This planning session was very successful and will help drive the right product improvements over the next six months. Quarterly reviews like this are being planned going forward to make sure we adjust the product features and functionality to ensure we have the best possible Field Services software. We apologize that you feel our reviews are solicited. FieldEdge does promote Glassdoor and encourages employees to share their experiences, regardless of whether they are positive or negative. There is no guidance provided on what should be represented within these reviews. We appreciate any and all feedback so we can gain a better understanding of how we are doing, where we need to improve and what we need to continue doing to create a positive environment for our employees. In an attempt to improve this experience for employees going forward, we would appreciate any additional/specific feedback you are willing to share regarding your experience. You can send this information to bware@fieldedge.com. Thank you, Brielle Ware Human Resources Manager

Pros

friendly staff flexible PTO not much else

Cons

I was threatened to be fired because I missed two days during training while I was puking my guts out. Management wanted me to sign a final warning, which under their written guidelines, you are allowed up to five absences before you receive a written warning. Management was unable to provide any documentation stating otherwise, and HR never bothered to respond. So management might make up rules off the top of their head to get what they want. Training started off okay, but it became clear soon in that the trainer is only training off of what they are told to, and doesn't have much room or time to do anything else. Even after explaining exactly what I'm having issues with every day for a week, and explaining to every manager that I'm not ready to take calls. They force you to take calls regardless of how well you understand what you're doing, and customers are expecting instant results. They couldn't even tell me what issues customers will call in about. The entire pay card industry is a confusing mess to begin with, and Xplor is only making things more muddied by acquiring dozens of other businesses and forcing them on to their support reps. There were at least five systems I was introduced to in training that all pull up similar transactions and reports, and they don't do a very good job of explaining the differences between them (NMH pulls up transactions and batches, TSYS system pulls up transactions and batches. What's the difference? I don't know, nobody could tell me!) Eventually management left me high and dry for multiple meetings that they scheduled to discuss the issues, leaving me unable to do and get paid for the job I was hired to do. I'm barely paying rent this month because of this. When we finally met, they scheduled three more meetings to discuss further, and finally after a week of not working, they try to force me back on the phones without addressing any of my issues. You are nothing but a warm body to upper management. The lower managers at least tried to negotiate with upper, but don't expect them to go full send for you. HR doesn't seem to care about you either (even though I'm sure I'll get a nice response from Stefan Welack assuring me they care! How easy it must be to say that when you're looking at glassdoor all day, divorced from the actual realities and work of a call center). Every negative review I've read has said the same thing: training sucks, management doesn't care, and roster is a revolving door. One last thing: there is a TON of alcohol at the St. Louis office. There are fridges full of beer and liquor, server room with dedicated liquor cabinets for the network guys, and most of the staff work from home, you KNOW barely any of them are 100% sober. I'm not opposed to having fun both on and off the clock, but it's no wonder things are so dysfunctional when most the staff is getting litty on the clock. I've done my time in call centers and MSPs, this is not how they are supposed to work. Clearent/Xplor, do better. I hope things go better for you in the future.
