Great place to work, super smart team - Software Developer SolArc Employee Review

Great/Positive Work Environment Personal/Professional Development Travel Opportunities Growth potential I personally like a commission structure. I had never worked commission before, but my previous position was in retail, on salary. I have great work ethic and I busted my ass off, but at the end of the week I was getting paid the same amount (and sometimes even less) than those around me. I have come to realize that there's two types of people that don't like a performance-pay structure. 1) Those who have never done it before and are scared. My advice to you is to take a good look at yourself and ask yourself. Do I actually WORK for my paycheck, or is my paycheck just given to me? If you work for your paycheck than a performance based pay will be in your favor, you will get paid exactly what you are worth. If you are a person who just has a paycheck given to them, then a performance based pay structure will not be in your favor because you will get paid exactly what you are worth, which is probably not a lot. 2) The second type of person is those people who have worked commission before and would rather have their paycheck just be given to them as opposed to working for it. See 1) for further details. As far as our company being a MLM structure, we are not because that's illegal and management does not take any pay from anyone. As someone becomes more valuable to the companies that we work for, the Fortune 50 and 500 clients pay them more. These managers are successful at replicating themselves and training others to do what they do. Which is bring clients higher quality customers to our clients, as such they are once again commensurately rewarded BY THE CLIENT, not by anybody within their own company. Our company is completely transparent, more so than most other companies I have worked for. We don't try to pretend to be anything we are not, we are simply a management training program that provides sales and marketing services for major companies. If you have a good personality, a good work ethic, and are ambitious you will do well in our business. If you do not have all three of those qualities in equal measure...you will not.

The hours can be long some times, but the mentality is that I am putting in more work now so that I don't have to later. I compare our business to a residency program or law school. I am learning how to be a manager while in the process of doing of it. The hours are long, just like in the other two professions, and sometimes it can be physically exhausting, but in the long run the pay off is worth it. you have to ask yourself is the juice worth the squeeze? The other two posters with negative reviews obviously found it was not, I personally think it is.

You learn the best skills needed for communication: -Time Management -Financial Management -Developing and Teaching Others -Leadership Training -Sales and Marketing

At first it seemed very daunting, and in fact seemed down right hard and impossible, but with the best training possible, I made it through.
