Pros

I was with the team for nearly a year before I had to return to continue my education. I learnt so many practical things about sales and marketing. The biggest benefit I got working for CentSai is the constant feedback and the regular training from senior members. I also admire Centsai's mission of financial literacy. I still read their articles and watch the videos. I keep in touch over LinkedIn with people and I hope one day I can return.

Cons

Sometimes it is intense. I was working remotely and I wish I come to an office and meet other colleagues. But everyone is slack, but meeting face to face is always a different experience.

Pros

You eventually get paid after emailing over ten times (not a joke). In the beginning, it was great. Creativity was encouraged, innovation was praised, and the CEO and President were passionate. Then the passion died.

Cons

The CEO is a tyrant and established a hostile work environment. It's his way or the highway, and there is no compromise. He thinks and says a lot about a lot without actually saying anything (just like I did). There is a lot internal conflict going on between the CEO and the Pres, and it's apparent each time any member of the team gets a call. The hostility between the two and the coldness towards one another is jarring and uncomfortable. Lots of empty promises are made, and it is disappointing as there is so much potential. I don't think the Pres' heart is in the business anymore, or at least not their for-profit model the CEO pushed for. There are a lot of positive partnerships going on, but they do not have the capital to make those partnerships flourish.

Thank you for feedback. We continue to learn, just like any other startup entrepreneur. We will find it hard to earn revenues if we got rid of our business development team, as you suggest. But your views are welcome. I will say that our president is extremely passionate about making CentSai a profitable company. We have managed to be come a revenue generating company without taking outside capital. We continue to attract talented people who have the risk appetite to work for a startup, which is not everyone's cup of tea.

Pros

I can think of zero

Cons

Recruitment tells you they have a CRM, leads provided along with cold calling. Zero was true. They give you a download of companies off Yelp. No CRM, well, if you consider excel one, then you’re in luck! The CEO gives many promises and delivers on zero. When you’re a 1099 worker who’s sole income is 100% commission on a platform that’s not 100% functional??? AND at only 15% commission? When I inquired about that I was immediately bumped to 30%. The CEO has a place in NYC and Lake Tahoe, and claims he can’t pay salaries plus. If you want to work for free and get texts from a CEO, the sales “leaders” at all hours, then this is your place to be..otherwise, RUN

Thank you very much for your kind review. First, I am sorry that you did not have a good experience while working with us. We do want to clarify a few points above. We do not offer anyone a 15% commission. Depending on product line, it starts from 20% and goes up to 30%. If you want to email me your original contract to me (Arindam@centsai.com) that mentions 15%, in confidence, please do so. On your comment on CRM. We have always used a CRM either Hubspot or Salesforce but we do that in conjunction with excel spreadsheets to ensure high quality of data in our CRM systems. This is drilled in across all training sessions. Lastly, the CEO does not own homes in NYC or Lake Tahoe. CentSai wishes you all the best in your future endeavors.
