Vantaggi
the training is reasonable but they'll teach you hard sales tactics and have you making calls in 2 weeks. If you've never worked a sales job then they can teach you what you need to start. Recently our base draw was increased to 50k / year
Svantaggi
they grind through people and when you start to sign companies and place people they'll let you go. I was told by the responsibility team that placements don't matter and I wasn't hitting all the KPIs to stay. I have a reasonable draw compared to some of my teammates who are over $25k in the red to gpac. I am among my teams leaders in call time and every week I bring multiple candidates for my own job orders and my teams, but I'm in trouble for not hitting call volumes of 80 per day. Only this week matters to management so past success with signed companies and deals are shadows in the past. You have to keep grinding and keep busy. Any time you can be let go and if your commission checks from placements isn't in before you're fired i don't think gpac will pay you for it. Our contracts state only cash in money matters not placement dates. So you can get a signed company to hire your own candidate with a solo placement and not get paid for it if your fired. I have seen this happen to others as now "coaches" need to have their own production, and they inherent companies and candidates from the people on the team who leave. Most people in gpac can't tell you who operates on their neighboring states, inter team communication heavily depends on the team you happen to get when joining. Some of the other coaches I've talked to about candidates with crossover potential have never replied back to me, as they are busy with meetings, and their own need to place people. Our benefits are not good. gpac doesn't over any PTO if you don't make any placements you don't get paid. this is 100% commission based. There is no option to buy-in additional life insurance, or disability coverage for you or your spouse. Our healthcare options are rather limited from bcbs and we don't have an option to add ourself and our kids, or ourself and our spouse. My wife and I don't have kids but I don't have a family option that is a lot more expensive to choose. We also have to pay $500 a month for our tools, while they work I really don't like zoominfo as it's completely out of date and 80% of the phone numbers they provide are junk, at least in my industry.
