Very little support - very competitive culture - Outbound Sales Development Representative ZoomInfo Employee Review

There was very little support. Every once in a while, my manager would check in, and even when I expressed confusion or a need for help, I wasn't given much guidance other than "you can ask me questions whenever." I struggled to find dial lists and was eventually informed that there was a way to create custom call lists with manager support. I was surprised this was never offered to me during the numerous conversations where I had asked for guidance with this. I would often ask peers where they were getting their call lists (not to use, but as a reference point), but with the competitive nature, I was often just straight-up ignored. I understand that in sales there is often a dog-eat-dog nature with the work, but even socially I found people were very standoffish and unwilling to offer support. I am a very extroverted and friendly person by nature, and I spent each day eating lunch by myself with my headphones in because of how awkward the environment was. I felt more comfortable in one week at my new organization than I did in 6 months at ZI.
