Pros

One of the worst professional experiences of my life. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. The only "pro" was leaving.

Cons

1. Nonexistent Training: From day one, I was thrown into the deep end without any proper onboarding or guidance. They expect you to figure everything out on your own. They expect you to just dial 500 strangers per day. 2. Toxic Sales Environment: The culture is like a silly knockoff of “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Management encourages cutthroat tactics and prioritizes profits over ethics, often at the expense of both employees and clients. 3. Micromanagement and Unrealistic Expectations: You're micromanaged on the smallest details while simultaneously being expected to perform miracles without tools, resources, or support. Management does goofy things like “power hour” after lunch were all employees have to stand… to make calls. Be serious. 4. High Turnover: It’s clear why so many people quit or are fired within months. The revolving door speaks volumes. There is no money to be made here. People will steal your deals even if you finally get one that isn’t cursing you out over the phone. 5. Unethical Practices: I witnessed questionable behavior that left me uncomfortable, both from leadership and fellow employees. People are encouraged to come in on their days off to impress leadership. Completely Harassing strangers into getting their mortgage refinanced. Throwing away someone’s belongings because they quit.. It feels like compliance is not real here.
