Expected a lot in a very short amount of time. Honestly spend your time and effort applying to actual SDR jobs - Sales Development Representative Fuel Sales Employee Review

Pros

Dan is great at teaching. Program has a good structure. You don't have to pay for this because you are the product

Cons

Way too much is expected of candidates in the program initially. Candidates are expected to drop everything in order to participate in this program and there is zero guarantee you will succeed. This wouldn't be a problem if this was part time outside of work hours, but the program is done during typical work hours so you need to quit your job for this. They cut a bunch of candidates after the first week. You have three days to master discovery calls before they make a decision whether or not they will cut you based on your cold call performance. Did I mention that you only get an opportunity to practice it four times before they make a decision? Also, they do provide you feedback, but it is very minimal typically because they don't want to unload everything on you at once. Because they hold back on feedback, it can be difficult to correct your mistakes in 4 role play scenarios, since they are bringing up something new every time, something you had done in previous roleplay. They record the secnarios but are inconsistent on sending them. Honestly, just spend your time applying to actual SDR jobs and learning in an actual SDR role.

Thank you for the feedback. We do everything we can to make this an opportunity for everyone with the chance to succeed. We hope to offer additional learning opportunities for those interested in the SDR role in the future but since we do not charge the people coming through the program and actually pay you we have to make decision quickly. Thanks again for the feedback and we will continue to improve.

Pros

None at all terrible company

Cons

Avoid Fuel Sales Academy at all costs. I worked for this company for nearly 3 months and, as of today, I am still owed payment for the final 3 weeks I worked. The situation became even more concerning after I accepted a better job opportunity—suddenly, they refused to pay me for the work I had already completed. To be specific: I completed my work in good faith, held up my end of the agreement, and expected to be paid accordingly. My final day was 4/3/2026, and payment was supposed to be issued by 4/15/2026. That date came and went with no payment. Since then, I’ve reached out repeatedly and have either been ignored or given vague, non-committal responses. At this point, it’s not just disorganization—it feels like intentional avoidance and a blatant disregard for basic business ethics. Not paying someone for work they’ve already completed, especially after months of contributing to the company, is completely unacceptable. If you’re considering working with them, protect yourself: get everything in writing, document every interaction, and be prepared to chase your own money. Based on my experience, I would not trust this company to follow through on its obligations.
