Absolute toxic environment - Anonymous employee Advanceit Financial Employee Review

The only pro's would be that you do learn about sales and how to sell. You can definitely become a better sales person after working there because the campaign is very aggressive. Unfortunately you can learn all that in about a month and things go south from there. I did great there but chose to leave because the culture was so toxic. They fire people five days a week and hire once a week. Extremely high turnover.

Where do I even start. The pay is mediocre for the amount of work you do. There is a lot of favoritism. In my time there I saw people getting preferential treatment from coaches. I saw leads being cherry picked for certain individuals. Tons of lying from management. They promise you a lot and they fail to deliver. They like to use fear and intimidation tactics on their employees. We would be told to stand up whenever the CRO would be walking by just to put on a show for her. Your position is NEVER safe, I've seen people with great performance be let go after just two weeks of performing poorly. They fired the head of HR soon after I started working there in a very disgraceful manner in front of everyone. There was not a week when people weren't getting fired. Lead Generators, people in operations, Account Executives who had been there for years, all gone.

it's pretty easy to get hired, they offer free lunch on Fridays (pizza once, subs once) and there were sometimes donuts in the morning, casual dress code (no flip flips, no sweatpants)

It was a ridiculous work environment. The supervisor would play loud music, and YELL REALLY LOUDLY during the day in order to "motivate" the callers. It was impossible to hear the people on the phone as a result. They took your chair away if you looked tired or weren't all "coked up" on the phone. Desks weren't assigned and would often change each day (people who had been there a long time would "claim" a desk, however), making it really hard to feel a sense of being "at home" in your job. We were often told to lie to the potential customers, which I had a huge problem with. It was really hard to attain their targets without being downright mean and deceptive on the phone.
