Pros
I have worked here for a few months, but I've been around the block. The amount of money I've made is incredible, the support I've received has been nothing short of awesome, and I've left every single appointment knowing I helped the person I just signed up. Here's the deal, it's a straight commission job. If you have no or little sales experience? Probably not going to work out. What you are seeing with all the...

The only downside for me is I hate having to micro-manage my pay. In a straight commission job, that's just how it is. Most of the mistakes are mine in fairness, and when I point it out it is fixed. Doesn't mean I enjoy it. ;)
Advice to Management
None really. Best opportunity I may ever have had in my life while working for someone.

Pros
With SpotOn Restaurant POS it is going to take me to another level. Nobody has a suite of products like this. I really love teaching people about the POS. I really believe if you want something work for it and it will get noticed.
Cons
Straight commission is hard but I think things are going to move in a better direction .
Advice to Management
Keeping the open door policy is awesome. Directors have a lot on their plates.

Pros
Outstanding support and training. Excellent income potential. Incredibly advanced technology. If you truly are interested in helping customers and doing business the right way, this a great family. Come join us.
Cons
You have to learn how to cold call and it is hard to be sure. If you cannot manage your time effectively, it's going to be hard. If you are not self-motivated, it's going to be still harder. This is hard work, nobody is going to sugar coat that but it is work that anyone can do if they are willing to actually work. Other than that, I can't think of any cons at all except I wish I'd found SpotOn 20 years ago.
Advice to Management
In reality, I don't have enough experience with this company to really have any great advice. Although the training is incredible, especially ramping up newbies who don't know anything about the merchant services space, it can be hard to just learn by osmosis and listening or reading. I have no idea how it could be done but if there was some way to make the learning/training more interactive and involved it might be...

Pros
Home office, set your own schedule

Training is too general and not specific enough. Takes longer than states to ramp up.

I'm sorry to hear this was your experience. While I don't believe we're unrealistic, I agree that training can always be improved and we're working on that. We recently created a National Trainer role and are rolling out Certifications next Monday to help get our team more knowledgeable. ...

As a sales rep you gain a strong path to success because: *Support is over the top /Super strong partners *Access to the best products/terminals to please any and every merchant *Reputation to be proud of *Income potential is through the roof

Couldn't agree more - if the job was easy, everyone would do it. That said, we have an incredible team of W2 Sales Partners who bleed blue and pour themselves into their job every day. Keep up the great work and proud to have you on the team. Best, RJ

Thanks for the feedback. I wholeheartedly agree that a 401k is something we both want and need to offer. And while it may seem like an empty promise, there are some complexities as it relates to the nature of our W2 employees that complicate things. That said - we will have it live ...

Pros
Atmosphere, encouragement, personal development, pay is great, lots of bonuses plus residuals.
Cons
Challenges? Pushing yourself to be above average to truly change your financial future. Being ok with being a little uncomfortable but for the benefit of the people you help as well as yourself is a challenge, but very rewarding.
Advice to Management
Management and Owners have been the best type of people I've experienced in business (7 years). They are very generous with their time and actively pursue your desires for the benefit of everyone.

Pros
All the support you need is available to you. You have a question, SpotOn has the answer. Need help with writing up a contract or overcoming obstacles, SpotOn provides the guidance. I've worked for Merchant Processing Companies over 15 years ago. A lot of them are shady; hiding pricing and padding fees. I reentered the industry for one reason, the product and the service behind SpotOn. I did research and compared...
