Pros

Great office environment and made some good friends there.

Cons

Impossible statistics clearly showed that team leaders specifically were giving preferential treatment to long term agents to hit their team target or just simply because they liked them. Very childish behaviour as I used to sit next to the so called top performers and believe me they were nothing special. People just simply give up internally due to this as the targets are too high to earn bonus consistently and are compared to the people they are helping. They also helped the people that are struggling as they would have made no sales and then all of the sudden a massive surge would come from nowhere. This indicated that the tiering system would fluctuate constantly based on whatever outcome they wanted to achieve. What about the middle ground where people are good at the job and work hard? They leave “simple” and that’s because good sales people will do better elsewhere and stand a better chance to earn money where this system is not in place.

Pros

Surrounded by supportive and helpful colleagues - at the start. Friendly culture with a collaborative work environment - at first. No experience role as advertised.

Cons

High KPIs are expected as early as the second week, which can feel overwhelming. Training is brief and largely observational; you mostly watch demonstrations and are expected to perform tasks independently very quickly. While advertised as “no experience necessary,” prior experience is often required to advance successfully. The employee wellbeing program can feel less accessible for underperformers; those seeking guidance may be overlooked, and management tends to prioritize high performers. The company’s focus is heavily on customer outcomes, which can sometimes come at the expense of employee work-life balance. The “hire fast, fire fast” approach creates a high-pressure environment with little room for mistakes or gradual learning.
