What is the working environment like? I read their systems are disorganized, management disconnected, most of day is spent documenting your work, and your bonuses mysteriously disappear. I consider myself decent at telemarketing and relationship building. Is there any hope with this job? Or is it just more like a bridge between jobs when there’s nothing better?

Thanks for the candid feedback guys. I have been contacted by recruiters for last few years trying to get me into this job. Those sales goals seem pretty easy to hit, although I’m not sure what type of client walks into that bank. Maybe if they are bottom of the barrel it’s more difficult. I’m open to any other comments you may have.

You’ll have EXTREMELY unrealistic sales goals of bringing in $1 million per month in new money. If you don’t hit your goal 3 months in a row you’ll be put on a performance plan

Currently working as a part/time remote contractor (jr role) for a company based in/incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a side hustle.
The non-compete mentions I cannot work for a “direct” or “indirect” competitor during or for 2 years after working with my current company.
I’m based in the US but may move abroad to Asia at some point this year. Will this noncompete be valid/enforceable? Thx for the feedback 🐠

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
