Pros

it's pretty easy to get hired, they offer free lunch on Fridays (pizza once, subs once) and there were sometimes donuts in the morning, casual dress code (no flip flips, no sweatpants)

Cons

It was a ridiculous work environment. The supervisor would play loud music, and YELL REALLY LOUDLY during the day in order to "motivate" the callers. It was impossible to hear the people on the phone as a result. They took your chair away if you looked tired or weren't all "coked up" on the phone. Desks weren't assigned and would often change each day (people who had been there a long time would "claim" a desk, however), making it really hard to feel a sense of being "at home" in your job. We were often told to lie to the potential customers, which I had a huge problem with. It was really hard to attain their targets without being downright mean and deceptive on the phone.

Pros

The only pro's would be that you do learn about sales and how to sell. You can definitely become a better sales person after working there because the campaign is very aggressive. Unfortunately you can learn all that in about a month and things go south from there. I did great there but chose to leave because the culture was so toxic. They fire people five days a week and hire once a week. Extremely high turnover.

Cons

Where do I even start. The pay is mediocre for the amount of work you do. There is a lot of favoritism. In my time there I saw people getting preferential treatment from coaches. I saw leads being cherry picked for certain individuals. Tons of lying from management. They promise you a lot and they fail to deliver. They like to use fear and intimidation tactics on their employees. We would be told to stand up whenever the CRO would be walking by just to put on a show for her. Your position is NEVER safe, I've seen people with great performance be let go after just two weeks of performing poorly. They fired the head of HR soon after I started working there in a very disgraceful manner in front of everyone. There was not a week when people weren't getting fired. Lead Generators, people in operations, Account Executives who had been there for years, all gone.

Pros

I started at Advanceit Financial Corporation as a junior accountant in 2010. After 11 months, I was presented with an opportunity to be promoted to a managerial position, which I could not refuse. Advanceit is known for its rich culture and and fast paced work environment. The executives are greatly involved in day-to-day business decisions. They guide and train managers and employees to provide them with career development opportunities. There are quite a few examples of internal promotions at Advanceit. Another perk to work for Advanceit is a multitude of fun social events organized during the year to promote team building and collaboration. If you want to work for a company where talent and hard work are rewarded, Advanceit is for you.

Cons

Establishing a pension plan for employees and managers would be great!
