I was reluctant writing this review.
The cons started immediately, and necessarily didn't have all to do with the actual work. I walked in on my first day to the comp plan being changed. Red Flag #1. The amenities they pitched that I relied on to help with my anxiousness with the long hours and stress, were being taken away. When I asked about it, I was told "I mean do you want us to be successful or do you want massages?" The other Red Flags came from the toxic personalities from those in leadership. I was gas-lighted a few times when showing concern for gray areas and questionable issues overall. I am a strong individual who is in tune with their emotions, but this blatant, disrespectful behavior is something that even made me question myself as a person in the beginning. This was my first startup experience, I did not know what to expect. The idea it seems was for them to hire robots who didn't care about the human aspect for a job. Everything except for the dress code was uniform. I've noticed some individuals maintaining their health due to their pre-existing lifestyle, but you also knew who was getting the pressure from up top because their overall health/habits were deemed unhealthy. You could see it happening and it was sad. There is a workout class at 12 pm, but you can't make it because you have to come in at 8 for time coverage later on, and your lunch is at 1pm, so that would be way too much time away from the phones, also you're not on track goal for the month so keep selling anyway. Now there is a sales blitz at 1pm but you have lunch. Do you want to eat or show us you care and help our projections with selling on this blitz? Shame on you, you ate your lunch. You are begged to sign off on long hours to keep up with the work. More hours equals more money, you should be happy right? NOT EVERYONE CAN BE PERSUADED WITH MONEY OR POTENTIAL PROMISES. And in 2020 it will be a lot more difficult to find people that want to be treated like a computer. Especially with how things are working in society. I can go on and on, but I'll say it here:
If you think that people are not here to be people, then you are in the wrong business. If your major rebuttal on anyone having a concern, is mocking them.. "Oh just another agent that has little feelers and wants to be treated like human, blah blah blah"... You've gotta be kidding me. This isn't how success looks.
"You can leave if you want" Was another one, so I did. Then my blood pressure dropped to a normal range.
