I've been thinking for awhile on how to phrase things when speaking negatively about this company. There is a lot of negative on the sales side, and that is no secret. First off, the micromanaging has got to stop. We are all adults, and while it is an "expectation of our job to get off to a fast start" at some point you have to learn how to trust your team a little more. Know that just because someone isn't jumping straight to the phones doesn't mean that they aren't working. Second, the empty promises and dangling promotions has got to end. That is so unhealthy and honestly it's tacky. If you're going to promote someone, then promote them. Don't dangle something in front of them and keep pushing it off because you want to use them for more bookings, demos, etc. There is no trust between the employees and leadership here. No one believes that leadership actually has their best interest at heart, despite the talks of them wanting to make sure we can "provide for our families". They have the interest of the company in the front of their minds, not their employees. Take a look at what Popeye's had to do...they had to learn to focus less on the bottom line and more into their franchisees. They had to rebuild trust. We have spent time and resources producing a documentary on Popeye's and are even featuring their CEO at the conference, but do you believe in the things that you produce? Take a look at how close together these positive reviews are coming in. Notice a trend? Stop asking employees to write bogus reviews just to help our online perception. This should be a place where potential candidates can come to get a honest picture of what working for this company is like. When you are flooding the review's with positive reviews (that you have asked for) it skews that. That's one of the biggest issues with this company. You manipulate, exaggerate, and present misleading data to get the results you want. Some of us have left great jobs where we had stability to provide for our children based off of false pretenses. There are technically 4 team leads on the floor, and although it is easy to become frustrated with how they are performing most of us know it is coming from above them. Their manager pressures them with goals that causes them to behave irrationally with their teams. It's not your fault, but the heavy turnover of employees will never end if you don't start painting an honest picture of the job online, in interviews and change business practices internally.

If you accept a sales coordinating position, you accept the work description of a Coordinator which is cold calling secretaries and pleading with them to let you talk to a decision maker. This is hard and this will test your patience and your work ethic. If you work hard and don't take things personally, you will be fine. But again, don't take things personally and don't view your pastors as pastors but as potential customers. Your work will be viewed and communicated to you from management as the most important call to go across a pastors desk and that just simply isn't the case. Pastors are people, too. You are told to view your work as worship which if realistically approached, can be done. Once you're there past your 90 days, you will see that work as worship means to constantly put up numbers or get coached and face your position getting thrown to someone else who is on a hot streak. All in all, it is a form of manipulation that they can use and you're not allowed to question it. The scheduling is very militant, which, you get a half day Friday to make up for it. Medical Insurance is very very lackluster. I opted to get a plan on the marketplace due to the high cost of the coverage and lack of benefits through it. There is a 90 day waiting period (where, you're not expected to reach) for benefits (PTO, namely) and a one year waiting period for the other miscellaneous benefits. Moving up in the company is possible if starting at the ground level but be prepared to tell management what they want to hear and not necessarily what they need to hear.
