Pros

Interesting/unusual motivational practices Leave early on Fridays

Cons

Very poor training and support More gullible employees may believe they are helping people, but are in fact ripping people off Employees discouraged from calling it cold calling people which in fact it is A script based sales-ish type role involving rudeness and dishonesty, sometimes flat out lying Commission made to look impressive when is actually rather poor and unattainable Minimum wage High pressure environment, with ever-escalating targets (read: minimum expectations) Owner is a very rude and arrogant individual Involves data-mining for companies details against their wishes Prepare to recieve a hell of a lot of anger directed your way from people rung Will fire the majority of staff in a given intake, very high staff turnover

Although I can only disagree with a majority of your comments it is appreciated that you have taken the time to provide feedback. I would sincerely be happy to answer any specific concerns you may have had about us as employers; I know we are a great deal better than your perception suggests but that doesn't diminish my sense of regret. I wish you all the best.

Pros

Free food and good training

Cons

Extremely micromanaged, everyone’s a bit all over the place as the ceo is constantly changing his mind how he wants everyone to work, you would very often see staff crying and also management either crying or being screamed at by the ceo, people would quit every day, the job is made a lot more difficult by how much they harass you, I would strongly advise against getting a job here, the money is okay, but you could find a job with much nicer people for the same pay
