Core values sound great but couldn't be farther from the truth. - Regional Sales Director Lively Employee Review

Pros

Competitive salary and decent benefits. The company matches contributions to your HSA if you choose the high-deductible health plan. Technically, there is unlimited PTO.

Cons

They have created a culture that makes you feel like you are never enough, reinforcing it with constant firings. I witnessed 13 firings in less than a year, primarily for "underperforming". Several were within the first six months of their employment. It is a small team with a high turnover rate. There is no education for onboarding employees. They don't teach you about the product, the services offered, or the industry. When you ask for help or additional education, you receive responses such as, "Fake it till you make it" or "Make something up. Hopefully, the client will forget if you are wrong." The commission isn't earned until you exceed your YEARLY goal, with top performers earning between $7,000-$9,000 per year. They say there is potential for growth but don't tell you upfront that they have a rule saying you can't even be considered for a promotion or lateral move until you have been in your role for a year.
