EngageTech Response
2yHi There,
Thanks for the review.
Whilst overall it's not positive feedback, it's good to hear that you found the training and skill of cold calling useful.
Firstly, our contracted hours are 8:30am - 5:30pm, most people have a mature finish and will be out the door just after 5pm to enjoy their evenings. There is never any obligation to work beyond those hours, however as it's a Sales role some people often do off their own volition, as with any business.
Our base level starting salary for graduates is £28k, which is the average starting salary for a graduate in London. This doesn't take into account the £10k -£12k you can earn in commission in your first year, and the opportunity for regular pay reviews across the first year.
We don't shy away from the fact this is a target driven role, but our probation pass rate for SDRs is at 65-70% right now - above industry standard for entry level Sales roles and we are always working on improving this. Every business has a level of risk in hiring graduates in Sales roles, and we are always trying to improve processes to reduce this risk.
We are super proud of some of the young careers we have built at EngageTech, those who have started as graduates or school leavers and become Managers, and Directors here, so it's a shame to hear this was your perspective.
