Consero Group Program Development Manager reviews

As the Company is fairly young there are some retention issues that are hampering the company's growth. The learning curve is steep, and they take a big hit when they lose new employees who don't make it. In terms of working for Consero, many positions involve a heavy sales component that requires a large amount of cold calling, especially in the beginning. While management can be very flexible and rewards success, if you aren't doing well they can be quite harsh. Advancements will most likely solely be based off of metrics. Base pay is low, commissions offset this but are irregular and not great of every position. Benefits are also poor (to be expected for a start-up). PTO/ sick leave is poorly structured, and is bad even for an American company.

Interviewer will not tell you this is a telesales job. The 'hard work' here is performative in nature--telesales. They'll tell you it's a 'numbers game' at the beginning, until you 'build your network.' Going into the position, you'll have no idea what any of that means, because management is so wishy-washy during interview process. They sell you on the job. It can be a little high-school, and the office politics are sometimes confounded by the 'we work at a startup' mentality. If you're looking for an intellectually stimulating experience, run. It can feel like you're spending your day not doing anything meaningful when you've dialed your requisite amount of phone numbers and not a single person answered the phone. It's a great idea, but not for everyone. Don't let the zeal of working at a startup keep you from understanding where you'll be and what you'll be doing.
