Onset Financial Reviews

Pros

I was laid off in July. I'm a proven talent in the industry and had recruiters from competing companies in the industry attempt reaching me throughout my tenure at Onset / Mazuma Capital. I never returned their calls or messages. Heartbroken that I had to be let go? Most definitely. Bitter? Nope!! Truth is truth, and facts are facts, and the Truth of Onset is that it's a great company. Great People! Leadership that still gives me goosebumps, and that will pay me dividends from the learning's and exposure to it. It's hard! Hard work is demanded. Expected. It is not for the faint of heart, or weak to come onboard and to expect success without earning it. Whether you are a proven stalwart in the industry, or a green - novice employee, they treat you the same. Consummate professionals, managers, executives. Fabulous resources, and an operation team that will be first ballot credit and doc hall of famers. Onset taught me about passion, resilience, grittiness, and toughness. Onset recognizes leadership qualities, and contributions from Everyone. Justin Nielsen, Scott Miller, the founders, and the entire management and executive suite are gold standard. Stephen Covey talks about character and competence in his book "Speed of Trust" and the new building almost can't contain how much of those two tenets exist there. Thank you Onset. I'm still not over you, but I don't think I have to be...because the qualities you've helped me develop and your love for me and my family will continue to enrich my life and career. Go get em! Keep dunkin' on COVID 19, and adversity. A strong company, which you are, will only get stronger from this, and I will see it with a wink and a smile, and a fist pump, because I celebrate winners and goodness when I see it.

Cons

They didn't have a vaccine for COVID 19 in March. Other than that, I once ate a bowl of cereal that might have been a little stale.

Pros

Swag, trips, generosity, pizza, bbq’s

Cons

Laid off, COVID, meaningless promises

Pros

Many of the co-workers are very supportive. Technical equipment and software is superior.

Cons

All three companies under the umbrella of Onset Financial (Mazuma Capital Captech and Onset) all use the same database of customers to call. You will get one executive after another from a business you call telling you, "I have received too many calls from you guys, STOP CALLING". And the executives know all three companies are one-in-the-same. Gets old. One of the posted reviews mentions a number of 5-star ratings are all within a short period of time and it's because the company just had a "motivational meeting" and asked the employees to write a 5-star review. This is absolutely true! I had to do it!

Pros

Training, Great Niche Market, Big Opportunities

Cons

Its all a con. They are a boiler room of revolving sales people. They offer incentives that they do not deliver. And even if you do get a deal that they approve through underwriting.... they will find a reason to then let you go so they do not have to pay it out.

Pros

They go out of there way to help you succeed and give you the tools to develop and grow. A lot of companies talk about doing that but this is the first place I’ve ever truly seen that happen.

Cons

I don’t have any cons.

Pros

The transparency of the job is wonderful. In other sales roles management tends to try to sell you on your job, here it is known that the work is difficult, but the reward is exponential. The executive team is one of the most supportive I’ve ever had. The culture is like family. The CEO is a genuine stand up guy.

Cons

Cold calling is not for everybody.
