Exact Data reviews about "money"

Most of people that work there are scums and weird. A lot of the managers think they are Jordan Belfort and are better than you just because they make more money. The product your selling isn't that great. They treat their clients badly and their trainees worse. Do not work here.

Long hours stay on the hustle

Most of the employees at Exact Data serve in sales roles, and sales is not for everyone. If you work there for a few months and still think the job is difficult, I would encourage looking for another position. This job is meant to be easy, and the stress and low pay of not having the skillset to perform well at Exact Data is not worth it. Alternatively, if you think the job is easy after a few months of working there, you can make an absurd amount of money working for this company. It takes time, because they want to protect themselves from over-paying someone who got lucky a few months in a row, but there is real money to be made. Honestly, the worst part about working at Exact Data is the office gossip. If you can ignore it, power to you. You will be better off by ignoring people who complain or gossip endlessly. This will likely be a problem anywhere you work, but I definitely felt it more at Exact Data than previous jobs.

I will say that I haven't found much to like about this company and so I have many negative things to say. As a prospective employee I will only say the things that you should know. This is a very bear bones company. Whatever money Larry is making is not reinvested into the office or the staff. This will become very clear when you go through the "training" because it provides you with no real information about the product or what the company is all about. You are expected to make 175 dials a day. Let me repeat that ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE DIALS A DAY. I've worked at a handful of inside phone sales companies before and the expectation is closer to 60-80, which is reasonable. The only way you are even able to come close to that number is because the leads are worn out and cold. Most of the time you are being sent right to voicemail because they blocked Exact Datas number. There is no camaraderie among the staff and you will be treated only as a device to make dials instead of a person. The schedule is very rigid and you would see in your new hire handbook that the "breaks" are at 10am and 3pm. Funny thing is that management often says "break is cancelled" and you are not allowed to take 15 minutes. Seriously, let that sink in. If it's 9:56 am and you are looking forward to your 15 minute break to do whatever, they just up and say, "no, break is cancelled, stay on the phone" and for what? You're just trying to make Larry money. Have you ever had a job where you aren't allowed a 15 minute break? The company has no faith in their employees at all. Their objective is to work you until you either quit or get fired. The internal employee messaging is blocked unless you're a manager because they are worried about people talking to each other. This is a placeholder job until you find something better, period. Steer clear of this place at all costs unless you are in financial desperation. This place is a serious dump. I cannot express that anymore clearly. Stay the eff away from this absolute dumpster fire of a company. If you can do literally anything else, do that. And when you think about it you are basically selling other people's information to companies that are going to blow up their phones. Think about all those random telemarketing companies that call you about god knows what..Exact Data makes that possible. Even just typing all this out makes me frustrated. Also look up the CEO, he has a Wiki page "Larry P. Organ" the dude is a scam artist.

The draw system pay scale and pressure

Do. It work here unless you are absolutely desperate for a job. You get paid a draw and that is all you make no matter how many sales you have. The owner is the worst person ever! If you don’t get sales in everyday they will write you up! You have to make over 50 calls or day or they will talk to you. The won’t even give you a laptop it’s a desk top. No training or help and there data sucks!! Worst place I have ever worked. Save yourself bot worth it at all. Larry the owner is a spaz and I don’t know how this company has stayed in business so long! All Larry wants is money in his pocket he doesn’t care about his employees at all!

There are not enough words to properly show all the Cons. CON is a great word though to describe this place.

You won't make a wage you can live on unless you literally don't have bills. The average salary listed on this site is a joke. The starting pay is more like $1200 a month. They take no interest in their employees, there is no such thing as commission here, and you're going to learn to absolutely hate your job by about the 3rd week out of training (if you make it that far, average life span of an employee is like a month). This place is a puppy mill, hire and fire, churn and burn, get a sale or get out. The product you sell is a joke, be ready to lie and do whatever it takes to close the deal. Why you should try closing deals is beyond me, you'll never be compensated for a single one. This fear fueled dial-a-palooza is a great way to earn some experience on your way to a real job, but I recommend you have a second gig on the side so you can keep your lights on. If you read a positive review on this site, just know it was paid for in the form of a Starbucks gift card. Management is so incompetent they can't even offer a bribe of REAL money. How there has not been a class action lawsuit against this criminal enterprise yet is baffling. Lastly, get ready to work in the most egregious metrics environment you've ever seen. What's more important, making 150 calls a day that mean absolutely nothing other than a mark in the CRM, or actually having valuable interactions with potential clients? If you guessed mindlessly dialing, YOU WIN! Do yourself a favor, and don't apply, don't accept the offer, don't become another number on their spreadsheet, because believe me, if you can breathe and you can talk, you'll get offered a job. How else will they fill the vacancies of the 5-10 people they fire each week? In summary, this is not a real job, they don't care about you, get ready for busy work, and just don't do this to yourself.

Managers. Executives would rather act like children and play than help Account Execs. make money and get better. None of the Executives have ever been in leadership roles before Exact Data, this goes from managers all the way to the President no wonder all their account executives are unhappy and at one point or another realize its a dead end job with no career. NO LEADERS just followers, who are content not hungry
