Pros
- Fantastic OTE - A tier one training program that is second - Development opportunities are available - Great, Charismatic, Funny group of people to be around.
Cons
- The first being the hours. Whilst during the recruiting process you'll be sold 7:30 to 4:30 which sounds fine at face value. However there is an expectation to work outside these hours (You don't really have a choice). Those 7:30 to 4:30 hours you're expected to be on the phone ringing prospects. Finding those prospects has to be done outside these hours or at lunch - Usually at least 2-3 hours per day extra to achieve the minimums. - Pitch Numbers. Obviously I understand the more in your pipeline the more opportunity you have but the money that's actually pulled in doesn't seem to matter. You're better in managements eyes if you pull in 8 pitches per week and no conversions than 2 pitches and one conversion. I saw someone who was told in front of everyone on the sales floor that "no one would like him if he got a deal after only two pitches per week" after he'd being pulling good money compared to the rest of the people that started around him. - Management Style - To put it bluntly - It's one of the worst examples of micro management I've ever seen. Your calls are tracked, and if you have a few bad days (regardless of reason) you're pulled into an Impromptu meeting that criticizes your work ethic with a sort of "improve or else" kind of tone. These are people who've been promoted from their loyalty and sales numbers and not their leadership skills. -The culture of lying. Whilst this may not be a problem for some people, there is a culture within Hybrid that it's okay to lie to receptionist's (and whoever you may speak to during the day) and fabricating stories to gain sensitive personal information such as personal mobile numbers and email addresses for prospects. This will definitely have an impact on reputation in the future.
