      Pros

      All hands on deck approach. If you are able to find a deal, there are a lot of people that get involved to help close the deal.

      Cons

      Keep the CEO out of your deals, he will cause much heartache by constantly changing the terms of the original offer, schedule unnecessary meetings, and even insult you in front of others. Then once he takes over a relationship you will never be able to manage that client again. Oh, good luck getting your commission check that is a another fight all together and you will end up feeling guilty for even taking your 10%.

      Review sites like Glassdoor, Yelp and others have gone a long way to bring transparency and leverage the voice of the consumer and/or customer. The flip side is that anonymity allows someone with a grudge to tell stories that are just not true. The report mentioned is just not accurate or even possible. We have been able to determine it was a disgruntled ex-employee who was terminated for “cause” and held a grudge. First National has funded leases and loans exceeding $1.5B. We have a perfect record with the Better Business Bureau and 140+ customers have provided letters of reference and testimonial to our superior service and capabilities. FNCC has survived and thrived during two recessions and continues to provide high quality employment opportunities for over 40 team members. We encourage interested parties to reach out and talk about our career opportunities.

      Pros

      It's hard to really sit here and think of one I am not being negative I really am having a very tough time coming up with something. If I can say one it would be the owner travels a few times in the month and that allows the whole company to take a break from the overwhelming process and frustrations working with Keith Duggan that defines every single employees day and emotions which is very toxic.

      Cons

      Owner Keith Duggan all I can say is "wow" Borderline crook and is not ashamed to be proud of it. Has a big history of getting into legal battles with clients, companies, and his own employees. 95 percent turnover might be an understatement longest tenure as a sales rep as of last year per VP of Sales to date is 4-6 months. All talent and 90 percent of sales floor understands within few months owner/company Main Objective is take the accounts you call then push you out of the madness 95 percent voluntarily quit and only witnessed 3 people terminated in my tenure due to challenging management... Guys who have been in the industry 20 years plus.

      We completely respect this employees and any other employees right to voice their opinion both while employed and post separation. It appears this anonymous employee did not have a good experience while employed, which of course we find dis-heartening, as a failure in retaining someone is a terribly expensive and frustrating proposition for our company and the employee. Of course we wish them only the best in their career. That said, our industry is extremely competitive and we are finding that some ex-employees have posted less than flattering things on this site and similar sites, and are in fact utilizing these websites as a tool in selling to our clients. That type of behavior is an unintended consequence of “anonymous” postings. The reality is that the Equipment Leasing sector is a challenging and extremely competitive business and simply is not a good match for everyone, thus there will be turnover. We are quite proud that First National has been in business for over 11 years with a strong track record of growth and professional development. We have successfully funded over $1.5 billion in leases and loans, with 100’s of satisfied clients as evidenced by over 140+ letters of reference. Our management team (mostly previously successful FNCC sales employees) have an average tenure of 5+ years with First National with several employees at 9+ years. We’ve even had several team members leave for competitors only to find out it was pretty good where they were and come back. So although we are the first to admit we aren’t perfect, we welcome constructive actionable feedback and will continue to strive for improvement.

      Pros

      Lots of training for new reps if wanted. Quickly will learn the "FNCC" way of sales and can be good at the art of deception. You can learn to have an open mind and ability to check you personal values at the door. Learn that every deal is about maximizing profit for the company and not always what is best for customer. Good for sales reps that prefer doing one and done deals rather than developing long term relationships with customers.

      Cons

      Lots of drama daily in office, hard to keep customers happy and deliver on what you promise them. Not good communication between sales, syndication, and management. Impossible to have work life balance since meetings are always happening to talk about call stats for the day or week. Rude and inexperienced managers and leaders. You will quickly become a different person after working her for a few months. You will lose excitement and start to hate what you have to do daily. Hard to get to know co-workers since there is so much turnover and people quitting. The pay is not good and benefits they offer are very expensive. Read the commission plan and ask questions, it is deceptive.
