Pros

You get to work from home...thats about it

Cons

There are many things that this company will tell you that are far from the reality of working with them. To begin, don't be fooled by their "gift card" or "rewards" they offer during training or the hiring process. It's a facade. Let's start with their "after hours" program they have. You are not allowed to clock in so that it appears that you don't go over your 40 hours and OT is out of the question, yet you are scheduled to work 12 additional hours on the weekend for only $65 after taxes. $100 is their base pay and for overnight and Saturdays, it's less (you have to do afterhours, or they will let you go so it feels like its forced labor almost). Most weekends are like the weekday, and you get little to no help. Management will openly ignore u, whether it be email or chat. There is no help or guidance, we are simply given mass amounts of information at once and that's that. If you have questions about anything, management just refers you to one of the hundreds of unorganized documents that are unclear and most times confusing. If you are on a call with a merchant and management needs you, although they have the ability to check to see if you are already on the phone, you are bombarded with teams call after teams call to answer them for basically almost no help at all while trying to work with the merchant. There are many times where we would ask for assistance and never get a response but minutes later will get a call about why this ticket or issue was not handled. When you tell them that you did ask for help but there was no answer, it's a simple. OH ok. When it comes to being asked to work on projects or training documents, they dump it on you having given HALF the truth of what the project entails. Be careful agreeing to a headache of a project with literally no option of getting out. Getting into management, I've never been so micromanaged to the point of where it reached my personal life. They need to know every little detail of your life all times and for what? David (the tech manager) runs his mouth so much trying to relate to others and their situations but its just blatantly inappropriate and intrusive. They make comments that shouldn't be made and if you go to HR or upper UPPER management (Cindy) to speak on these issues, you become the enemy. They claim to not have favoritism but that couldn't be any further from the truth. And finally, the tech department, To have a QA of 90% or higher, should be your clue as to why your employees are dropping like flies. Talus does not care if you can actually do the work and fix the merchant issue, they care about being apologetic and sincere about the company's foolish policies and ridiculous fees they tack on every month. So regardless of whether or not you do have tech experience, all they care about is the customer service aspect of it. In the end, they want employees they can burnout and manipulate. I speak for (almost) everyone there and past employees, that this is the worst display of management, company policy, and just overall care of your employees I've ever dealt with.

Thank you for your feedback. It appears from your comments that we have an opportunity to make some improvements in how we communicate as well as the content that we are communicating. We don’t ever want anyone to be caught off guard and we can only accomplish that through transparency in our expectations. Tech Services is a demanding role and it’s not for everyone. While it may read like any other role at any other company, we are growing and experiencing higher volumes of inbound as well as outbound deliverables. Projects are a great development tool for the individual to take on. Growth is hard and balancing competing priorities while maintaining excellent support can be even harder. Talus enforces a workplace free from harassment or retaliation and all concerns are encouraged to be escalated through our open door policy to whomever one feels more comfortable reporting to. Some issues can be handled in confidence, while others require a more direct approach. It really depends on the context and the situation. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights with us! We take this feedback seriously. As you move forward in your career, thank you for being a part of Talus and we wish you all the best in your future success!

Pros

Decent one week training. Training staff is nice

Cons

THERE IS A REASON WHY YOU GET HIRED HERE AFTER TWO EXTREMELY SHORT INTERVIEWS. RSL's are the biggest micromanager. They believe themselves to be more important than your time out building a pipeline. Random scheduled meetings with focus on their time only. Run far away from this company. Around $660 monthly take home to get you on your feet.

Thank you for your feedback! The payments industry is a challenging and rewarding industry, and you're right, it takes a ton of work to build up the business, make connections in your network and develop relationships everywhere you go! We believe that you have something special that would stand out from all of the other processors, because at the end of the day, clients are buying from the individual - not the company. The individual is a representation of the company brand. All of our field sales roles are located in different markets. The commission structure is the same across like-roles. Commission residuals are calculated on the businesses signed. There are opportunities for the long sale in building up relationships with referral partners (like banks) and there are short sales in connecting with small business owners. The opportunities are there and you are correct, it takes a consistent approach to build the pipeline. Please feel free to reach out to your supervisor or any sales leader within the organization to see if there is something that might be missing in your approach so we can work together in supporting you for a more rewarding career!
