Pros

Offer remote positions, but then push for in-person. In-bound leads make it easier, but not enough leads to go around.

Cons

After reaching yearly sales goals, they set higher sales quotas and drop commission percentages. This has been the case for the past 4 years. Technology and offerings are not competitive enough. They push sales to sell clients a better version of the product that does not exist. Company is not doing well as a whole. Not worth investing time in working here. Most employees are looking to leave as the company has begun to replace US employees with Mexico based new hires

Pros

The best part of Upfluence are the employees. It's a tight-knit group of smart, hard working individuals. You will learn more from your co workers than any executive at the company.

Cons

If I was able to give a zero star rating I would. The workplace environment is as toxic as I've ever seen. That is obvious from your first day. The executives are appear to be unqualified for their positions and therefore they do not treat you with respect and have unrealistic expectations. They make it seem, when you first interview, that you will have ample opportunities to advance your career within the company but once you start, you realize that what they told you during your interview is not true. This is in part due to the unrealistic expectations mentioned above. Because of these unrealistic expectations, it becomes tough to hit your numbers and even when you do, they do not appear to reward you immediately. Your training will consist of pre-recorded videos that are outdated (seemingly recorded during the 2020 pandemic when everyone was working from home). You will learn by listening to your co workers' calls instead of being given formal training. Once you begin selling you will be given sales goals that appear unattainable due to the low quality leads you're given. Even if you do hit your numbers, you might not be rewarded immediately. Regarding the leads themselves it's hit or miss. If the company likes you, you can get placed into a different pool of leads that are of higher quality. However, often times the leads do not even show up to the calls and are completely unqualified if they do. You will have a lot of no show calls and empty calendars. Despite all of this, any feedback you give to higher ups for ways to improve will not be heard. They do not give you the time of day, nor do they actually absorb any of the feedback you provide because it seems like they do not care. You're forced to put up with all of this just to get paid a below market salary for this type of role. The commissions look nice during your job interview but you'll soon learn that those commissions are not attainable due to the factors listed above. Overall, this is certainly not a good place to work and is not worth your time. This is a high risk, low reward job that forces you to put up with disrecptpful "leadership" on a daily basis. But hey, at least you get a free bagel once a week.
