Cydcor Reviews

Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn personal and professional skills. Training and learning are really important. Getting involved in the community is also something that Cydcor does a lot of. That is very unique. The entire focus of the company is to help the sales offices and to work with clients. Things are always changing and I like that.

Cons

Because the company is growing fast, there are not enough people or other resouces to get everything done for the work required.

Pros

Great feedback, constant #'s game, you WILL BE promoted when you deserve it.

Cons

No work/life balance, no one makes any money outside of Corporate.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay us and make it worth it. No incentives.

Pros

If your owner likes you and you are able to work through door-to-door sales its a great place. Account representatives are paid poorly. A third of your commission is based upon the entire office having a certain percentage of re-orders.

Cons

Terrible pay
They don't mention it is b2b right away and make it seem like they are doing in office marketing
managers are underworked and overpaid
entry levels are way overworked and underpaid

Advice to Senior Management

Take some time to develop a fair pay scale. Management quotes making 600-1000 a week....Then when bonuses don't come in its more like 350-450. That is if you are a top performer. If you don't hit the marks you can expect to draw on 300....

Pros

No micromanagement
You earn what you put in
Lots of managerial opportunities

Cons

Favoritism
No education preferences
Very Demanding
Not enough regulation on how the fortune five hundred company paid out, It was always less than what was deserved.

Advice to Senior Management

less liaison interaction, more actual company visiting sales force groups.

Pros

You can become an owner in a very short time
Being able to socialize with fellow employees
You get to talk to people on a daily basis

Cons

Pay is based on how many sales you make
Is door-to-door sales, and they don't tell you that up front

Advice to Senior Management

Offer some sort of base salary, and then offer compensation based on sales. Don't have salary only based on sales, because people will not stick around.

Pros

If you are one of the rare breeds that like doing door to door sales, this opportunity can be golden.

Cons

If the owner does not like you, then you can kiss your opportunity goodbye.
High turn over rate, but that goes with any sales job.
This Job can potentially take your personal life away.
Remember, this job is cult-like. If the owner does not like you personally, he will not like you professionally.

Advice to Senior Management

If you decide to apply for the "Entry Level" position, please evaluate who you will be working with.
Gary Polson is doing a great job running Cydcor as a company.

Pros

Young and fun environment to work in

Cons

Deceptive tactics and overworked teritory
