Pros

Great base salary - potential for commissions.

Cons

I was told when I started to not expect a sale for the first year, and not to expect to really make good money until I get a hang of it towards the second year. Now, they are telling me they are expecting new people to make a sale in their first 5 months. Most of the veterans who make 6 figures plus after commission will all tell you that they didn't make their first sale until a year into the job, and didn't make real money until their second year. During the blizzard, all employees were expected to come to work, regardless of conditions, and were handed a badge claiming we were "essential/ critical needs employees" so we could drive during the ban. Our jobs were threatened if we didn't risk our lives to get there. Sales were considered "essential employees" so aka they wanted us to still come in and make money for them. Customer service reps and IT were the only ones put up in a hotel down the road.

Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

This company and specifically the collections department have very little opportunity for growth, despite what may be promised during the hiring process. Honestly, it’s a circus. Non stop tasks are thrown at employees each day. And Goals are constantly increased so analyst can’t reach them. Employees who work hard and consistently perform well often find themselves stuck in the same position with no clear path for advancement. Promotions and opportunities never appear to be based on performance or merit. Management is one of the biggest issues. They have no clue. Favoritism is prevalent, and certain employees seem to receive special treatment, better opportunities, and more support than others. This creates a frustrating and discouraging work environment where many employees feel undervalued and overlooked. Morale suffers when performance and dedication are overlooked in favor of personal relationships and when there is little accountability for management and no transparency regarding career development. Communication from leadership is lacking, and employee concerns are not addressed. Management gets defensive when employees ask questions or disagree with their stupid decisions. Overall, it can be a VERY challenging place to build a longterm career if you are looking for fair treatment, professional growth, and strong leadership. Turnover rate is very high. Also, micro management is at an all time high. Would not even recommend this place to a college grad for entry level experience, if i could Put 0 stars, i would. For the sake of your mental health, stay far away.
