Pros

Good sales training and onboarding

Cons

As an account exec, you will be grinded to the bone and barely have time to go to the bathroom or eat lunch with back to back to back to back calls. You will be given a 40k base salary and they will tell you your on track earnings will be over 100k and it is completely unachievable. Hot sales periods are short and you will make decent money until you enter months of cold sales periods. You will be asked to pressure families who don’t have the money to put thousands of dollars on their credit card to fund advice from unqualified student account managers. Most of whom will come out of the program disappointed. Additionally your hours are four weekdays from noon to 8pm and you will work a weekend day from 8am to 4pm. Enjoy your summer with that schedule. There’s cameras in the main area and if you so much as talk to your colleagues for a bit, the owner will come out and sit down. They also have a software that takes screenshots of your screen every few seconds. Not one of the absolute worst, it was the absolute worst culture I’ve ever experienced in a workplace. It was actually mind blowing.

Pros

I've been at startups where people operations are a nightmare but they have their processes fairly dialed-in. I didn't have to start from scratch. For adaptations I made, the team works at a fast-pace to adopt.

Cons

Fairly resource constrained, but that is typical of a start-up

Pros

The leadership team are incredible. I have excelled my career by 5 years in 1 year. GrantMe puts a lot of trust in me and I have never worked such an encouraging environment. The growth opportunities here are vast and as one of the core values at GrantMe is 'leaders creating leaders', these opportunities are presented to you from the minute you walk in the door. The CEO and COO founder has created a world class culture that drives the team to achieve their visions and goals (personal and career) all while having fun doing so. I have learned more about myself, my abilities and my potential in 12 months at GrantMe than the 10 years of work experience elsewhere. GrantMe achieves the unachievable, removes limiting beliefs, grows daily and has you loving every minute of it.

Cons

The biggest downside it that I did not join GrantMe sooner and only join this rocket ship 12 months ago.
