Pros

Work from home Weekly pay

Cons

Have to work a full 8 hours without any pay to see if they want to hire you Only are paid for talk time and then 80% of your time Seemed like there were many more sales people than funding specialist Confusing bonus structure - was told two different things The most that anyone has achieved in a week were seven deals at $80. Plus was told during training that if you have an interested person and try to transfer them and no one is available to take the call set an appt. to call them back. We all know that in sales setting a call back is usually a waste of time unless you are dealing with something that the customer/consumer called you for.

We apologize that we could not offer you a position from the trial, but this is a common practice among many call center and telemarketing companies and this is discussed and agreed to during the interview.

Pros

The online training was short and provided decent information. If you like calling businesses that have already been called repeatedly and doing that from home, this might work out for you.

Cons

Initially, people are told there is an hourly wage plus commission (that isn't completely based on your performance but the next sales person where the call is transferred). However, the candidates are supposed to work for free before they tell you if you are "hired". They tell you upfront that they won't pay you the hourly wage for the first "training" day. I almost believe they "hire" weekly in order to get free labor regularly. In other words, don't leave a paying job to do their orientation, computer setup, and training day which are all during the typical work day and unpaid in addition to the online training that can be done at any time of day (which is also unpaid). They've comingled the employee vs. independent contractor status by requiring employee duties of an independent contractor. (You should read the "independent contractor" agreement....) I don't know if they'll be in business long enough to face an IRS audit or if they'll figure it out first. It's a new company, and they are making a lot of mistakes.

We are sorry that we could not offer you a position after the trial, however, a trial is a common practice among many call center and telemarketing companies and this is discussed during the interview process. Currently, we are targeting East Coast businesses & as we grow, we will expand further West.
