Pros

Experience speaking with SMBs. Learning Fintech.

Cons

Commission only. Bosses will either be present or disappear pending on how their region is doing. Revolving door of new hires and people either quitting/getting fired. This is essentially a 1099, the only benefit get is health insurance. There is no stipend for the amount of gas you're paying for/the wear and tear on your car. No severance, and the commission structure is getting worse. Job posting says "top earners make over 100k". You will absolutely not make over 100k unless you have an extensive network of business owners you've done business with prior/have 10+ years in the payment processing industry. Sure, you can make some okay money but don't expect going into this role thinking you're going to be comfortably living especially if this is a new industry you've never worked in. If you are out on the road for 8 hours a day Monday-Friday and speaking with 30 businesses a day, it is possible, but don't expect to be crushing it within your first or even second year. Payment processing is a very saturated market and you are really going to have to lean on your ability to build relationships. Because those same businesses you're calling on already had 5 payment processing reps come in that day, and a lot of them have a much larger presence than Xplor Pay. Training program is top level. FIP (software) team does not know what they're doing. You are doing a ton of "figure it out". When you hear of "hunter mentality" positions, this one is the poster child for that. Just be weary of your options, it is a great way to get your foot in the door for SaaS, but don't expect much.

Explor Ever since Explor was purchased by a PE firm, every aspect of the company to the most granular detail has effectively gone up in flames. For anyone who needs context, PE firms are parasites that steal exorbitant amounts of money from the companies they buy out - and then they have 26 year old matcha drinking ‘financial associates’ in some high rise in NYC make pivotal business decisions that negatively affect hundreds of employees’ lives all because they learned in an MBA class that making the ‘costs’ line in the Excel spreadsheet go down would make the ‘profit’ line go up. The first ‘strategic’ business decision made was to cut down on software developers (to make the ‘profit’ line go up in Excel), which has resulted in a WORSE product - then they hiked the price on customers (Again, to make the ‘profit’ line go up in Excel) which as anyone would have expected, enraged ALL our customers. The resultant employees who didn’t abruptly leave are now tormented daily with more and more ignoramus ‘strategic’ business decisions and treated like ants that a child is playfully burning alive with a magnifying glass. If you want to be treated with any human dignity whatsoever, Explor will not be a good fit for you. However, if you want every day at work to feel like you are a participant in the Stanford Prison Experiment while simultaneously having to take calls at all hours from every customer who wont stop asking “Why does the software I pay money for to run my business no longer work”, Explor will be the perfect future employer for you to take that big next step in your career.
