Pros
  • Great way to meet like-minded and aged individuals early in your career.
  • Very diverse group of people working in the Irving office.
  • A great place to get comfortable with cold-calling because that was the majority of the job.
  • Great pay compared to most entry-level sales programs.
Cons
  • ABSOLUTELY NO JOB SECURITY IN THE “DEVELOPMENT” PROGRAM
  • Titled a development program with little to no actual time out into developing great sellers.
  • Once out of the classroom, expect to learn everything as you go or from peers who know just as much as you do.
  • If you don’t have a manager that is willing to actually develop you and have your back, GOOD LUCK!!
  • Unfair treatment and ample accommodations of POC compared to the more European staff.
  • Constant changes and “pilot” initiatives that could NOT have been thought out before implementing.
  • There’s always something that will stop you from placing into your next role.
Advice to Management

Have more transparency and honesty with the employees you’re uprooting to move to Irving. They might have to move home on short notice, 4-6 months down the road. Actually take the time to develop sellers so the company doesn’t put a sour taste in people’s mouths based off of one department.
