Wouldn't recommend... - Inside Sales/Account Manager World Micro Employee Review

Management and owners are disillusioned. Its three brothers that own the company and they are rarely on the same page - making it very common to get conflicting info on what to do and not do. The brothers think and act as if the company is much bigger than it really is. My job was to call 50 businesses a day. But only had roughly 120 companies in my book. Which meant that I was calling the same companies every 2-3 days. It doesn't take long before the people you are calling get tired of you calling. The primary owner told me himself that he intentionally set this company up like a investment broker - to where he hires young guys who are willing to make calls, but pay them next to nothing. The idea is to let them build what book they can, let them quit, then give what clients had been built up to the senior reps. During the interview, all kinds of promises were made as far as income potential and what the brothers would do to help ramp up asap. None of it ever came to pass. Was told in the interview that the base was $36,000 and that the first year would make about $55-60k. Second year should make around $80k. Third and beyond would be $100k+. Bull! When the offer of employment was actually made, all of a sudden that $36k base went to $27k. Same happened to every person in my hiring class. So wasn't an isolated incident. Once hired, and I started noticing a lot of discrepancies between what was told and what I saw, I started asking coworkers about it. They laughed and said that yeah, they do that to everyone. Even the income projections were bogus. Yeah, some people made money. But they were folks who had been there for 5+ years. One of the brothers admitted to me later that it would probably take 3+ years to make any money. Money that I could make elsewhere walking in the door. If you are desperate for a job, this may be a good fix until you find something else. Definitely not a career stop for most people, based on my experience.
