Pros

Vorsight has been around for a few years, but definitely has a start up feel. They are still figuring it out - which means that there is a lot of opportunity to give your input and help the company grow. I was at the company for only two years - during that time I saw new new strategies adopted, new positions created for strong members of the team and changes in the reporting structure. When something isn't working, it can be changed. The majority of hires are 1-3 years out of school. It is a very social environment. Especially for those who are moving to the city and don't know many people - you are sure to make a lot of friends!

Cons

With the pros, come cons. They are still figuring it out... some things don't work. As an employee, they are open to your ideas, but change doesn't happen over night, and you may be in a frustrating situation from time to time. Most often this is when you're put on a client that doesn't work out. If you stick with it and work hard, these things will pass in a month or two, but it can be hard to roll with it at times. Because everyone is young, there is quite a bit of gossiping and office drama - he said/she said. It is possible to stay out of it - but that is an effort you must consciously make.

Pros

Very hardworking and innovative environment that is the perfect fit for someone coming right out of college to really dive deep into the psychology of the top of the sales funnel.

Cons

Cold calling is tough. It's not for everyone.

Pros

- Amazing training. I truly feel that I have learned more applicable and important skills at Vorsight than I did during my 4 years of college. - Amazing culture. A group a very intelligent, fun, driven people who I looked forward to working with everyday. Everyone in the office meshes so well. It's an amazing thing when you find yourself choosing to hang out with work people on the weekends when you're forced to spend the whole work week with them. - Great experience. Vorsight allows you to learn about so many different industries. You also build your communication skills and learn how to talk to and interact with C-Level executives at Fortune 500 companies. - Relationship building. Vorsight has given me the opportunity to form relationships with all of my different clients that I am supporting. It has taught me the importance of forming strong relationships with your colleagues, clients, prospects, etc.

Cons

- There's unfortunately a cap on how much you are able to grow within the company. Once you hit Sr. Account Manager or Sr. Client Development Associate, there is really no where to go from there unless a Management role opens up. - Common sales headaches. The industry is tough and you have to be very thick skinned and strong. The industry/position is not for some people and you will quickly learn whether or not you belong. - Base salary is a bit low compared to similar companies in the DC area. However, with hard work and determination, the uncapped commission structure can allow you to make anywhere from 55k+ in a year.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We love hearing that our former BDA's found such value in our training process. It sounds like you took advantage of the opportunity to work with clients across a range of industries and built relationships with your reps- all things we encourage. As your review highlights, we offer a base salary with a higher commission potential than other similar roles. We are a performance-based organization and while the base salary may be lower, the opportunity for uncapped commission provides Associates the room to earn $55k+ in their first year.
