Pros

No compliance for agents to be graded by. Can pitch freely. QA covers the important details. You can listen to the QA calls so you can keep the client if they have any objections.

Cons

If you bring up suggestions to make the company better you will be ignored, belittled, and discouraged. Complaints about company policy violations will get ignored too if it protects favored individuals. Please, if you care about your clients, you need to run. After clients are enrolled their experience is not the best as they have complained. The system is super cheap as well and is hard for employees to track information. Sinking ship! If agents don’t take the initiative to be better, there are no incentives to do so. Just hard to do so remotely. You are by yourself working. There are no bonuses or fun incentives. Constantly told to be gracious because the company is growing but the system is slow and there are unnecessary restrictions on what we can enroll for the clients. Beware. Not the best for longevity.

The worst experience ever!

Pros

I honestly do not have anything good to say about this company.

Cons

Management is clueless and the majority of employees are in Guatemala. The pay scale is basically incentivized to screw over the client. This company does not care how a debt is settled for how much and I does not have any strategy in place whatsoever to protect clients. The in house counsel is way over his head. I don’t see this company lasting even another 6 months. It’s amazing how clueless this company is. Nearly every settlement set up on the last 2 years for clients has been lost due to missed payments somehow which no one seems to be able to figure out. Clients are paying $1000’s more than expected. I think I graduated 1 client within the time frame originally agreed to on their contract. Most clients are extending programs by 1 year. This is the worst debt settlement company I have ever seen. I feel terrible for their clients.

Pros

Very independent. Potential to make commission Negotiating.

Cons

There is extreme favoritism within the company, managers will allow their favorite employees to drop the ball and dont hold them accountable and if you bring it to their attention they will flip it on you instead. Some people can not hit goal for several months with no consequences while others who hit their goal every month will be let go for small things that could have been fixed. Lack of accountability from managers and the payment processing department. - tons of settlements left unprocessed every month due to negligence. Old policies & procedures, company doesn’t want to make changes to grow & improve. They keep doing the same thing over & over expecting different results. EXTREMELY unqualified management (most). They do not have a great understanding of debt settlement and running a company. Company operates like 4 separate companies, no clear workflow between departments Very low base pay for negotiations, well below industry average. No yearly reviews or chance for a raise.
