Pros

Brooksource is a forward-thinking company where employees have the ability to make a huge difference very quickly through one thing: hard work. If an employee consistently does high quality, high volume work, they will be given unlimited earnings potential, the ability to move into new roles, and celebrate every single step of the way. This is a company where your age and tenure do not define your level of influence. As a 25-year old, I am on a text message basis with the CEO, have the ability to make strategic decisions to improve our operations, and where my voice is heard at all levels. This is a huge motivator.

Cons

This is not a place where you can "go through the motions" and expect success. This is the business of PEOPLE- thus unexpected curve balls, rejections, and tough situations arise daily. A successful Brooksource employee must have thick skin, exceptional optimism and people skills, and an innate drive to succeed- no matter what it takes. Our business requires early mornings, late nights, and a rollercoaster of high's and low's. Because BIG MONEY comes from commission and success is measured by production, we need do'ers with grit and grind to them.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
