Pros

You can make a ton of money.

Cons

Absolutely everything else. This is the most destructive and toxic environment I have ever worked in. There is no work/life balance. The managers are not qualified & power-hungry. They walk around the office texting and stand behind you as you're making calls. They don't offer any constructive feedback. They threaten to fire you every week. They don't let you take time off. No matter how hard you work, it will never be enough. You're not good enough unless you prove your "worth" by staying in the office until 8PM every single night. The managers lie to you, each other, the customers, and even upper management. They have very little understanding for family/life emergencies. They literally do not care. They expect you to make an unreasonable amount of calls per hour while still logging notes into the database. People cry in the office on a daily basis because of the stress. TOXIC, TOXIC, TOXIC. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
