Pros

Helping companies in need find well qualified people and helping people find work is fun and rewarding (just not pay wise)

Cons

Their commission policies are a joke and the base pay is way way too low. In order to start earning any type of commissions, you have to build a book of business and bring in $8000/week in gross margin. This is a really high target that will take at least a year to achieve so prepare to live on sub-market base pay for 12 months minimum. If you have any sales experience, do not work here. You will be disappointed. The base pay in Austin for sales is much much higher at 99% of other companies in this area. The owners are incredibly greedy and also will not give you credit for an account you've worked unless the person calls you directly. If the prospect calls the general phone number or email the general email address, management keeps the money regardless if you've been calling/emailing, or visiting them in person. I wasn't even at a point where I was earning commissions yet and the owner refused to give me credit for an account I'd been calling and emailing. I wouldn't have even been paid for it. If they're willing to do this when you aren't in the commissions yet for a single person job opportunity, I can't imagine what they'll do to not pay you for your work when you do finally hit the minimum gross margin minimum which will take at least a year. They can't seem to hold any sales people for more than a few months and now I know why. That should've been a red flag but I ignored it. Lesson learned.

Thanks for your feedback. Our base pay and commission are actually very competitive within our industry, and we are constantly reviewing to ensure they stay that way. But, we do have an somewhat an entrepreneurial culture where everyone is kind of running their own business within the business, and we understand that's definitely not for everyone. We do wish you the best in your future career, and we are here to help in any way we can if you ever need it.
