Pros

Hours and flex schedule are great. PTO is pretty good and for the most part if you perform your metrics based responsibilities, management leaves you alone. The mechanics of the actual job are very simple. If you are a "certain kind" of sales person, the money can be good.

Cons

Training is almost nonexistent. You are in a classroom for seven days and then placed in a sink or swim environment. They speak of teamwork and helping your fellow SBA, but the metrics are such to where that is almost impossible. You almost have to have an everyman for himself attitude to excel. Performing at a good money making level is tricky, and supervisory guidance is only given to those that intuitively know which questions to ask, so quite a few talented people get fired CUZ they don't get attention. Database management does not exist except for those that have already achieved success, so most of the callers are forced to wade unnecessarily through garbage leads that have been beat up beyond recognition. There is also a very annoying micro managing cloud that is sublime, and management will never admit to having.

Pros

They do pay the agreed base hourly income but is an hourly position not salary.

Cons

Twenty year old business model with less than poor management ... Flexible schedule is only for top achievers ... Christmas bonus $500.00 ... Management wants employees to function as informants on other employees ... If you ask questions you will be terminated ... I was a top producer for years, employee of the month, employee of the year and there is no loyalty only to management ... Tell the call center employees they are of value then lie, lie, lie ... No regard for business owners ... Business model is all about the business owner signing fees ... Don't do as I do, Do as I say do management ... Lousy training and onboarding ... Changes policy to suit their attitude toward employee ... Leads are a mismatch of dead, recycled, old leads ... If you provide the leads that are dead they just take them out for a short period of time and then recycle the bad lead even leads that have asked for no calls ... Multiple buckets of leads and bias toward employees determines which bucket of leads you receive leads from, not your performance ... If they do not like you, no matter how great your performance they will give you leads from less than workable buckets making your performance almost impossible. Management is unprofessional, no management skills, all middle managers have either never been on phones or failed at working in call center ... Dead end Position as SBA's ... Insert spirituality ... religious life commitment into meeting to influence and control SBA's.

Pros

Great learning experience for entry level valuation "M&A" associate and great client interaction within broad industries.

Cons

Read Rip-Off-Reports!!! VERY VERY poor compensation. Complete lack of ethics, call center orchestrated, VERY VERY poor management and customer relations, lack of ethics starts at ownership and flows through to management. Owners and management only care about their position, money, bonuses and could care less about anyone else including their employees and clients.
