Pros
- Most of the co-workers seemed nice and easy to get along with
- Nice office, with great location
- Product and business plan is pretty simple and straightforward to get a hold of
Cons
I got a temporary assignment here through a staffing agency. Basically it was mundane call-center work, and pretty straightforward.
- My supervisor pretty much gave me a couple lines of script and told me to start calling people, with no other advise to give (this was my first cold-calling job). This would be fine, but no expectations were set, no feedback was given, and so I had no idea what I should be doing different to improve.
- I got plenty of calls out, and started to actually get a hang of what I thought was expected of me a couple weeks into the job. However, about three weeks in, I got a call from my staffing agency rep right after I left the office, letting me know that I was let go. I tried emailing my supervisor, as well as the staffing agency to get some feedback as to why I was terminated, but I got no answer. The supervisor did not call me back or respond to my email (the email was strictly professional, and not emotional in any way)
- I wasn't really experienced enough in tech sales or there long enough to get a realistic sense of the company, however I thought this specific instance was pretty unprofessional. When terminating someone, no matter how long they were at the company, you deserve some sort of explanation or feedback. Overall a pretty lame temp experience for anyone considering it.
