Pros

If you are an internal employee (not a contractor) the pros are far and few between. If you like drinking on the job and acting like you’re 21 again then this might be the job for you otherwise don’t work here.

Cons

People of color are far and few between and they act like the care when in reality they dont. If you dont “drink the koolaid” then you are seen as less then. Leadership is terrible and they only care about top producers and people who’ve been in the company for an extended time. You leave more stressed then what you came in and the commission structure is TERRIBLE and is not meant for anyone who isn’t right out of college or has a backbone. Working here was like college 2.0 and if you aren’t hitting kpis in cold territories you get fried. If you are looking for a company to question your morals and break you down Brooksource (Eight Eleven Group) is the company for you.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and honest feedback! Although, we are disappointed to hear that it was a negative one. Culture is everything here at Brooksource which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where all our employees feel empowered to be the best. We say “strive” because as you have mentioned, our work is far from finished. Cultural changes do take time, and we believe we are taking the right steps. This includes the creation of our employee-led connection groups, joined together based on common backgrounds, identities, or interests to provide a safe space for conversation and development. We have also expanded our benefits to include mental wellness coverage, additional PTO, and parental leave for all employees, as well as tuition assistance for those who qualify. These are just some of our latest enhancements to our internal culture! As we continue to grow, so will the type of support and assistance we provide to our employees, consultants, and clients. Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us better align our plans for the future with the needs of our internal employees!

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
