Pros

Smooth onboarding experience and nice co-workers

Cons

Corrupt management that will try to make you feel inferior constantly, minimal to no raises and questionable sales techniques that push customers into purchases that should not be made.

Lying Blatantly to the Clients is Considered the Norm

Pros

The training was good. It allowed me to learn a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. I didn't expect that.

Cons

I don't like thinking about my time here. I did things that made me feel guilty, and I am not proud of them. The arrogant and terrible leadership asked us to lie blatantly to existing and potential clients. They had zero ethics. It was ridiculously complicated. I quit because I value my morals. I couldn't avoid my conscience anymore.

Asking for a Well-Deserved Raise Feels Like a Crime- Beware!

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You will learn what you are worth, as they will never pay you enough. They just make excuses to avoid paying people fairly.

Cons

The leadership is awfully arrogant and mean. These horrible people refuse to give people the raises they deserve and always ask employees to wait a few more months. Take it from me, that wait never ends, but your patience with the insane workload will end. The stress is not worth what they pay you. Beware!
