Pros

I believe in the company and the owners beliefs. I believe they care about people, but don't realize the learning curve for the people they are hiring to do the job to ever make any money.

Cons

Money is awful. They hire people in from management or even previous business owners and tell them in all the ads they are going to make 60-80k easily. The learning curve for the lingo and the job is so long, everyone leaves. The training is sub par. No one that comes from another industry, which is almost only ones hired can possibly live on $14 an hour for long, but it takes at least 6-8 months to even come close to making more. I've never seen an attrition rate like this place. CLEARLY SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING! Basically all the new hires make $14 an hour and scrub and harvest leads for the top 10 people in the company for a year before they can make any money themselves. and that's if they like you enough to put you in the top ten spots. NO OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW IN COMPANY. NO WHERE TO GO! The owner seems sincere, but he is believing a guy that is just interested in sales and doesn't care about lying to employees to get them in there.

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.
