Pros

I feel sorry for the folks who have been taken advantage of. I wish there was a way out for them.

Cons

I would avoid working here like the plague. From the initial vibe, to the daily interaction, this place and most of the people here work are sketchy. You're going to get screwed, it's just a matter of when.

Pros

You know that saying about bonds forged in fire? That. If you're looking for people to drink with, you'll find them aplenty.

Cons

Pretty much everything about the job. The pay is poor, there are no benefits, they tout minimum employment standards as perks (looking at you, stat holidays + 10). They give very little freedom or autonomy but expect total ownership of the sales process. The human aspect means that if you get bad sales, you get bad sales. A lot of prospects see the company as a scam and the number/email domain is blocked by most spam filters. They push for unethical if not illegal sales tactics and give little to no training on how to actually sell - ironic for a training and development company. If you're interested and good at sales, I'd give it a shot if you have no other options but if you have morals or literally any other prospects, save yourself the trauma.

Pros

Absolutely nothing positive to say about this company or their work environment

Cons

First of all, they have unrealistic expectations and goals that set you up for failure from the start. They consistently lied about things that were either promised or stated to be provided to their employees. Offered incentives that are equivalent to waving a banana in-front of a monkey, really it’s a joke. Horrible company culture with pressure to unprofessionally drive sales, not to mention even the quality of the product.
