Svantaggi
Guided, when I first started it was awesome. They were very flexible and open to a lot of ideas. They truly cared about their clients. As the growth rapidly excelerated the management started caring only about statistics. They stopped caring about clients and only about how many quotes you work, or how many calls you can take. The work life balance for salaried employees quickly went away. Working until 8, 9 nine at night was applauded and most came in on weekends. Sales does sometimes require extra hours to help clients but it became an expectation. The management in this firm is very indecisive. They constantly change processes, so much that it is difficult to keep up on top of the work load. Management does not have your back and rarely entertains ideas unless your part of the "club". Favoritism runs rampant here, and plays a key role in getting promoted. The managers have no clue what is happening most of the time. When employees leave, a lot of things fall through the cracks. Does this spund like an environment you want to bring clients into... In summary, get ready to be stressed out constantly, while having little support behind you, and good luck keeping up with expectations because they change weekly.
