Pros

The top people are rewarded for lying to business owners to get them in to a free luncheon meeting. the sad thing is that the meeting hosts are all very competent professionals with a dynamite presentation. but the attendees are fed so many lies to get them in the door that the close rate is not what it should be

Cons

The worst training and upper management I have ever experienced...REMEMBER "FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS " work at Gen Equity. there is NO opportunity to Advance , just an opportunity to be bullied and treated like crap by ineffective managers

Pros

It's pretty easy to get hired because they had a very high turnover in the SBA role. The initial training was good. The break room was very nice. The office was aesthetically okay for a cube farm. The pay was competitive, the bonuses came in the form of VISA or AMEX gift cards. Friendly coworkers. If you can hang out for a year or so, you can get another business development job anywhere in town. You'll be special.

Cons

Do not miss more than your one day off during the probation period. The drudgery was expectedly relentless in that role. Most people either quit within three months to a year, or you could be "quitted" involuntarily because of market fluctuations, or if you get on the wrong side of the floor management through no fault of your own, other than they simply do not like you. You'll be put in a situation where you get mostly voicemails or unqualified prospects that should have been vetted, and you'll be terminated for not making sales through your ever-present probation periods. Expect to be on probation throughout your stay. Co-workers in other departments and upper management could be very condescending to the bottom of the company food chain, the SBAs.
