Pros

Decent salary if you are starting right out of college. Benefits package is reasonable. Few managers at the company encourage you to grow as an employee, but they end up leaving the company within 12 months.

Cons

Managers are never available when employees need assistance with customers. Managers inform the CSRs to handle the calls on their own or have another CSR act as if they are the manager. If a manager actually agrees to take a call, they will allow the call to drop into their voicemail and not call the customer back. Managment is more concerned with following a checklist of goals rather than actually helping their customers. A customer can be frustrated and send in a cancellation request, but as long as the checkpoints were met, the call is deemed satisfactory. Micro management is rampant in the department. Many CSR's will have 3-4 bosses looking over them. If a mistake is made, the CSR will receive a notice from each of the managers on the floor. Managers are encouraged to give write ups to employees who are attempting to apply for positions outside of the Customer Service department. This is due to their extremely high turnover percentage. Numerous well qualified employees left the company because of this practice.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
