Pros

Good earning potential if you can last long enough to build a pipeline and survive the unrealistic expectations of a small army of middle managers and 'VPs'

Cons

This place does no favors to its sales staff and will have extremely high expectations right away, even when hiring fresh college graduates with no sales experience. I've seen people fired after less than 4 months without closing a deal. I've seen people get fired two days before Christmas. I've seen people get fired on their day off! Its ridiculous. I've heard managers or VPs tell employees that they'll get fired if one specific opportunity doesn't close in their pipeline before a specified date. Imagine sweating out your job knowing that if the stars don't align for this customer to choose you as vendor of choice (in this extremely saturated market by the way) while Nextep hardly has any differentiating factors for winning opportunities. All of my clients when I worked here threatened legal action against Nextep or unsubscribed within 2-3 years of signing on. Mediocre Product, Toxic managment, little to no upward mobility.

Pros

* Strong earning potential for those who can consistently perform * Some leaders are genuinely supportive and invested in their teams * Good place to build prospecting discipline and resilience

Cons

* Daily expectation of 50–75 outbound calls creates a high-pressure, volume-driven environment * Inconsistent leadership across markets — expectations, accountability, and support vary widely * Perceived favoritism and unequal distribution of support/resources, particularly when certain individuals receive additional help hitting numbers while others are expected to figure it out independently * Uneven enforcement of performance standards — some underperformance is tolerated long-term, while others are let go quickly after short downturns * Lack of consistency in pricing flexibility, making it harder to stay competitive in certain deals * Operational issues (billing errors, deductions, carrier payments, etc.) can negatively impact client experience * Sales reps may be financially impacted by service-related credits, even when issues are outside of their control * Growth is prioritized, but internal hiring and support infrastructure lag behind, hurting both employees and clients * Advancement opportunities are discussed, but often come with increased workload (supporting new hires, struggling reps, etc.) without clear progression
