MRC Smart Technology Solutions Reviews

-Low pay, you will start at 40k/year and be expected to work minimum 10-12 hour days -Car allowance sucks and they track everywhere you go each day and review that when you submit it every week to see if you were actually prospecting -Insurance is really bad. Pretty much the same cost to see doctors and get prescriptions if you didn't have insurance at all. Make sure you're not planning of having a baby while you work there -Upper management sees you as a number and they make that pretty clear -Lack of help and guidance. Selling copiers is a process and if you're not familiar with it, there's a big learning curve. -Lack of communication. Getting even a simple email back can be a huge challenge -Super high turnover. If you stay a year, you're now a veteran in the company.. congrats! Now sell more or you will get put on disciplinary action plan -THE COMP PLAN. Every year I saw it restructured to pay less and make bonuses more unobtainable. Bonuses aren't basically a thing there anymore, scary to think what the 2019 plan has in store -How they take care of their customers. It seems like their model is get them to sign for 5 years.. then forget about all the great things we told them about MRC because they are literally stuck with us.. seriously, good luck trying to get out of a copier contract. It won't happen. -Listening to the same 8 reps get multiple awards at every company event *Side note - Ignore their promises for 'how much you will make in X years'. It's a lie, a big one. They will get you all hyped, hope you sell to a couple new accounts(that they will have locked down for 5 years making profit off of while they give you maybe $100 bucks commission) then expect you to leave or fire you when you can't hit their unrealistic numbers while they pass those accounts to the 8 reps so they stick around. I didn't realize how unhappy I was working there. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone unless it's a last resort. I'm not one to hold a grudge but in this case I am. I'm mad that I wasted two years on fake promises, broken communication, and lies from a company that has so much potential to be a great place to work for. If you want to give it a go at copier sales I'd wouldn't recommend MRC being your first choice. There's a ton out there, trust me. I know, because we would lose to them all the time because 5 minutes of research will show MRC is extremely overpriced and their customer service is basically non-existent.

EVERYTHING ELSE. I wish I ran away from this opportunity. Working at MRC was the most stressful time of my life. If you like micro-management you'll LOVE MRC. Be ready to: - Role play at daily 7:45am kick off meetings - Keep everyone at the company updated on what you're doing all day on a company wide email thread - Get harassed by your manager if you're taking part in the company wide emails - Have your manager sit directly behind you while making phone calls to new clients - Have super unprofessional managers who remind you on a weekly basis that you're replaceable and "sales isn't for everyone.." - Daily meetings at 4:45 to review how your day was .. how many cold calls you made, how many appointments you had, how many times you went to the bathroom, what you had for lunch... - BUT!! Don't worry!! They know exactly where you were at all times because they track you on your work phone. - Stay late to work on proposals and deliverables most nights until 6 or 7pm - Get ask why you don't want to stay at work for 12 hours a day to which your manager will add, "you know I have a family too and I stay at work from 7am - 7pm" - Yay! You got a deal!!!! Cool! So what deal are you closing next?... - When you're in the office you'll hear about sports all day long! You'll hear dirty jokes, derogatory comments about staff and clients! - Someone at MRC will ask you to leave a positive galssdoor review, don't worry you'll get put in a raffle to win a gift card!!! - Bi-annual kick off and mid year meetings... the President of the company will let you know that MRC makes $45,000 per hour!!! WOW!!! But only pay their sales reps $40,000 per year... - The ever changing comp plan is a complete joke I honestly feel bad writing this but I wish I new what I was getting into before I started. I was really well-liked at the company, made great sales, and "played their games really well." There is no chance of upward mobility so if you're content being a sales rep forever this might be the place for you. If you're looking to use this place as a stepping stone this might also be a good fit for you (if you don't mind subjecting yourself to what I've explained above.)
