Pros

Decent culture - reps are laidback and fun to socialise with. That's all

Cons

If you hate cold calling, this is not the job for you - just stay as far away as possible. Job advert says that it is "warm lead calling" but couldn't be further from the truth - the leads are cold as ice (ie cold calling), any "warm leads" that exist are filtered to the reps who have been there the longest. Management / TLs are very judgemental. If you don't contribute much in team meetings you will be in the firing line and they will make an example of you. Team leaders/management are fake and only care about themselves. If you don't perform immediately you should fear for your job - they will terminate a handful of people after their induction period on the phones if they don't show "improvement". If you work your backside off from day dot but struggle to close the sale they will instantly dismiss you before you get a fair go at proving yourself. No growth whatsoever.

Pros

A lot of growth in the business in recent years(pity the maturity of those who manage it hasn't). You get free coffee in the morning.

Cons

Mismanaged, with no clear direction, iSelect protects its image to share holders by blaming its staff "clearing house" and "righting mistakes of the past" on a six monthly basis whilst actually succeeding in getting rid of or driving away the few remaining staff that had a clue or believed in the what the business could achieve and delivering on very few of the promises that the CEO and Board make.
