-Lies about OTE. Many employees accepted roles believing what they were told in their interview and months later had to pick up second jobs just to survive.
-Management gossiping about employees, taking part in bullying. It’s high school all over again. You’ll feel like you’re walking on eggshells. Managers are prone to odd outbursts and incapable of managing their emotions.
-Micro-management. Every 2 hours there is a company wide email blasted of everyone’s dials. If you haven’t been calling enough, you will get a passive aggressive Teams chat from your boss.
-Cold calling all day every day with little to no pay off. 200-300 dials. Maybe 6 people pick up, and they promptly hang up when they hear “Game 7.”
-Company has a poor reputation within the industry. They’ve been blacklisted at many larger corporations for their unethical practices.
-Despite this being advertised heavily as a hybrid role, you will have to be onsite every day because the metrics are unattainable (only 1 or 2 people in the whole company get WFH privileges for Monday and Friday each month). To be clear, this isn’t referring to 1 or 2 top performers, this is a volatile environment and you are not likely to meet metrics two months in a row even if you’re top of the weekly billing chart.
-When nearly the whole company fails their monthly review they pick and choose who to punish. Some people are put on PIPs, some are told “we know you’re trying, keep it up!” and others will be flat out fired. It’s all a game of who’s been kissing up to the managers the most. Also, you read that right, MONTHLY reviews. You receive ZERO guidance in these reviews, even if you’re begging for it. These managers don’t even know how to be successful in their own company. The most they can offer up is “Get creative!”
-After an AM/TR leaves, their manager will scoop up their most profitable accounts and keep them to themselves. So the rest of the AM/TR team can’t even have a shot at making commission on those accounts anymore. Managers are already making 6 figure salaries, plus commission from their team, and then on top of it stealing accounts from their team. These managers then turn around and say “Why do you think you deserve these accounts? No hands outs!” You can try until you’re blue in the face to explain how this is corrupt and backwards but they’ll just call you lazy and greedy behind your back.
-If you speak up about anything negative, management will make your life miserable.
-CEO/COO will talk about how the company is in dire financial stress and then go on a tropical vacation for a week. Or buy another luxury vehicle. Or another house. Or go MIA for weeks at a time, offering no support to the team.
