Pros

Work/life balance Surrounded by eager, motivated individuals Sense of community and working towards a common goal An unmatched culture Unlimited earning and growth potential Average age of company is 27 years old

Cons

Many new people come in and compare themselves to the successful, tenured folks which can be discouraging for them Everyone here is money motivated Its an 8-5 but if you want to make money fast, it could become an 8-6/7 The culture can be overwhelming if you dont want to bring work "home" with you ever, and want a clear separation

sales comp plan

Pros

teaches you to work hard since it's nearly impossible to pay rent on the sales comp plan

Cons

AE comp is laughable. i was told in my interview "most aes make over 100k in their first year" - now knowing how the commission works, it is mathematically impossible to earn 100k unless you exceed 17k in spread every single week for a year. (17,000 spread -3,000 draw = 14,000 x 0.07 commission = $980 x 52 weeks = ~$50,960 commission in a year + ~50k base. and being at 17k sustained every single week is unheard of unless you have been there 5+ years and inherited a top account. they sell new hires on the "uncapped commission" as if that is lucrative, but won't disclose how challenging (and rare) it is to make even a liveable salary at this company recruiters have the chance to raise their base $10k after only producing $65,000 (usually happens 3-4 months after starting). reruiters have clear and attainable goals paced out to hit within a few months, to a few years and onward (senior, pro, manager etc), but the same does not exist for sales. only after producing $2million aggregate you get a "promotion" with an insulting $5k raise. it's 10x harder to get that first start in sales vs recruiting, let alone 2 million

Pros

they pay weekly for 5 months

Cons

everything, firing on the spot because you dont sell enough credit cards, they let the contract companies they employ walk all over and disrespect you, lack of training, lack of communication, really just not a good choice over all, they take any shortcut they can to get money from you vs money coming to you from them, they also won't give you real termination letter they instead give you a self projected opinion of you and a you're fired ending

It is for this reason that we are disappointed to hear that you had such a negative experience.
