Vantaggi
-Commission structure is very strong.
-Management team is tenured, understands the industry and what it takes to be successful.
-Financial backing from a multi-billion dollar organization.
Let's be very transparent, this industry is not for the faint of heart. This is a high-risk, high-reward opportunity and unfortunately not everyone will experience the same level of success. This is the reality of any sales career that is actually worth striving to achieve (this includes recruiting, they are both a function of sales). If you are looking for a "sales job" that gives you standard business hours, logging off completely after the work day is over and just hitting your bare minimum metrics then this is not the right opportunity for you. The entire sales industry is extremely competitive, especially the vertical of IT consulting and staffing, so I'm confused as to why some comments refer to this job being too hard or not having enough of a work life balance. Plain and simple, you will get out of this role based on what you put into it. There are no handouts, this is an opportunity that you will need to earn.
That being said, if you can commit yourself to the company and treat this like you are running your own business then you have a great chance at being successful here. Not everyone will make it to the top, so while I understand there can be negative reviews on Softworld, I also think those respective people did not belong at Softworld and Softworld was not the right company for them. Leave your entitlement at the door, don't blame management for personal failures and dedicate yourself to becoming the best version of you. This is the way. It's very rare to find an environment like this that offers the potential income to rival that of doctors and lawyers, with no Harvard degree required....
Lastly, pay no attention to people who post highly vitriolic comments without having the courage to put their name on it (counterintuitive comment on GlassDoor, I know) - these remarks are not a true representation of Softworld, nor our culture. Not everyone will have a glowing experience, but this is the nature of sales and is no different within competing firms. The larger your company grows, the higher the revenue, the greater the exposure - the bigger the bullseye will be on your back. This is a great company to work for if your desire is strong enough and your drive is greater than your peers. The management team has tremendous tenure within the organization and are meant to be tools for us to utilize for our success, not to use as scapegoats for our failures. From the sales to recruiting management teams, I truly believe they will unequivocally have your back if you "are doing the right things".
In summary - great company to work for, expect to work hard if you want to be successful and don't expect any shortcuts.
Svantaggi
-Remote work has put a damper on office dynamic, relationship building and accountability.
-I really miss the morning breakfast buffets.
