      Ehhh, old school everything, bad pay - Business Development Representative (BDR) POOLCORP Employee Review

      2.0
      9 Apr 2025

      CEO approval

      Pros

      You'll get to work with great customers and vendors (all of which make more than you) Maybe maybe maybe a desperation job or a career pivot, if you can afford it.

      Cons

      - As I mentioned, very low base pay. We were told "get a roommate" from the head of HR during an onboarding session addressing living in a high-COLA. - They also will cap your bonus, which is tied to your low pay. I carried a 18mil book of business, was top 1% in the company and made less than 60k that year. - Management is streaky. Had some great local branch managers, but leadership had little to no idea what value-based, relational, or challenger model sales practices meant and love to meddle. - No modern sales tools, they use a nerfed M365 CRM and you can't pull any helpful sales activity on your book/clients/targets. - The old C-Suite will tell you in your first month "this is a nickel and dime industry." Just remember it applies to you. -I left and immediately tripled my salary.

      Pros

      My experience has been wonderful, as I have managed to learn a tremendous amount about the world of sales and the POOLCORP culture; there is always someone willing to help and guide you through a process or assist you in achieving your goals. I cannot single out just one person, as so many have stood by my side and guided me throughout this journey, but I do extend my gratitude to the entire team. I hope to continue being a part of this great company and, of course, to climb many more rungs up the ladder. THANK YOU POOLCORP!!!

      Cons

      Sometimes a little more cohesion and teamwork are needed.

      Pros

      The BDR role at PoolCorp offers a strong mix of relationship-driven sales, territory ownership, and direct impact on business growth within a stable and growing industry.

      Cons

      While the BDR role offers strong growth opportunities, it also involves managing operational complexity, margin pressure, and external factors like seasonality and supply chain constraints
