Pros

Potential to make good money, Many Bonuses, Flexible Schedule

Cons

The company is unethical, they cheat and lie to the merchants the bring on board. They expect account executives to peddle those lies. They will try and brainwash you to think you are "helping" all of the merchants that you are lying to and screwing. They care nothing about anything but tricking merchants into signing inordinantly overpriced non-cancellable equipment lease agreements. We are in the middle of the corona virus pandemic and they company is encouraging their staff to break the curfews and quarantines and still go out door to door selling. When I questioned the President about not following the that my state has in place about credit cad processing agreements he told me "We don't have to follow that law, If you don't like it you don;t have to sell any more". Stay away from these people, unless you don't mind being brainwashed and peddling lies, falsehoods and screwing small merchants.

Pros

The load of bs. Quoting wolf of Wallstreet on daily mandatory conference calls like we don't know how that movie ends.

Cons

Was never paid. Company claims lucrative commissions. Whole business model is based on lying to small business about saving money on credit cards. Literally trained to lie to customers and say yes to whatever they say. Then you won't get paid for deals you sign. Business model is based on you going poor before being paid. Employees are 1099. No clear dates on payment.

Pros

The initial training was paid for including hotel which was nice. They are big believers in motivational training too. They do pay you an advance that will come out of future commissions so at least you have some money coming in. You can make your own hours (but you won't make any money doing so).

Cons

The leads are crap. They try to get you to have customers sign a 4-YEAR lease on equipment which is ridiculous. Not very competitive compared to other card merchants in their industry. You'll put a ton of miles on your car and waste time and gas for nothing. The managers that are supposed to help you often unintentionally sabotage a deal because they've been promoted too quickly without training in the position and don't know what they're talking about. Lost more than one deal like that.

Thank you for your review. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our practices. The 4-year lease benefits both the merchant, by grandfathering in the rates and giving term-for-price rates—and the account executive by providing large upfront commissions for the term of the lease. We assure you that all managers have undergone extensive training. We currently have a comprehensive management staff who are always available to assist. If you need additional help, our VP of Sales is always more than willing to jump in and lend an extra hand where needed. As we’ve mentioned before, not everyone is going to be the right fit, but we wish you well in your future endeavors.
