Pros

Work/life balance is good, it's an 8-5 job with no stress outside of work hours and no expectations to do any work outside of your time in the office because it is an hourly position, which is a low base rate.

Cons

Zero training on the product and virtually no help on a simple transaction based sale. You are expected to do 50 calls a day and are told you are going to have a book of base accounts that will get you to the salary you are "expecting" which is not accurate. A huge majority of the base accounts are given to the Sr Reps and then you are left virtually prospecting a vast majority of the time, which is also not what I was told in the interview process. It is near impossible to make good money on commission here as well based on the compensation plan which they do not let you see until after you take the role. The quality of the product, the refurbished and repaired phones are not good. Many customer complaints while I was there and the management team does not do anything to accommodate customer concerns or complaints but rather leaves the customer out to dry without any focus on customer satisfaction, retention, or conflict resolution.

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
