Pros
You can give yourself, your colleagues from within your job classification, and your clients all the credit for the professional insights and personal growth that you gain while working here. Managers do not provide training or career development initiatives, so you walk away from this experience knowing that what you accomplished and learned during your time at ExecReps is yours and not theirs.
Kontras
The major red flags hanging over this place: 1) There is a "quantity over quality" attitude that has been making both employees and clients uneasy. This has been especially disheartening for employees who come from customer service backgrounds, as this type of thinking is contrary to the tested and proven "the customer comes first" motto. This is a service-driven firm, and if customers are not happy, the bottom line will suffer tremendously. 2) Managers overuse self-aggrandizing rhetoric to the point where it has essentially become deception. I, like many of my former colleagues here, were drawn to this startup because of the promise of being trained by "experienced professionals." 3) ExecReps is part of a venture portfolio that includes a slew of random companies, a few of which seem downright silly. This has spooked potential clients on multiple occasions. 4) All job titles within the company are inflated and clearly intended to mislead clients and potential hires. A prime example: an “executive agent” = telemarketer. 5) Employee turnover is obscenely high. New hires come in constantly to replace resigning employees, not because the firm is growing. 6) ExecReps' online marketing is very low-budget, which makes it difficult to project the image of a reputable firm. Online content is often peppered with typos and run-ons. As such, prospective clients routinely question the legitimacy of this company.
