Music
Sales
Large break room with television
Flexible hours

This company is a joke!! They took over my previous insurance agency and told the existing employees that they were trying to build upon what we already did. Pure farce!! They completely did the opposite systematically cleaning house by changin positions and pay drastically hanging benefits as a carrot on a string. They forced seasoned reps to either – more... change position or just drove them away or forced them to quit. This company is a total joke and anyone should be wary of working for them unless you don't care about job security or are a total sycophant. – less

Well, there is absolutely no job security. While you are in "nesting" if you make a mistake they will terminate you and not give you any of the commission you made. Not a reliable place to start a career. The employees and management are nice, but not very "truthful." I was blessed with the opportunity, I made top in the call center during my nesting – more... period, and because of a he said she said battle, I was terminated and was told for the time I was making all of my sales I wont be getting my commission. I was terminated unfairly and will continue to take steps in the process of contacting BBB and the president of the company. – less

A typical day at work included sales. What I learned was how to use the facts to sell the product. The management team was supportive, as well as my co-workers. The hardest part of the job was convincing the skeptical customers and the most enjoyable part of the job was informing the customers of the benefits of the product.

I was an insurance agent for Homeinsurance.com. I enjoyed my job and did well at it until they were bought out by Red Ventures. When they took over they changed all of the rules, lowered the pay scale, and micro-managed every facet of the sales process. Homeinsurance.com was a good place to work before this company mutilated what had already been proven – more... to work. Red Ventures promoted themselves as "the best place to work" and then within 6 months had gotten rid of 60 agents. They would look for reasons for their "quality control" department to eliminate you. If they thought you were not on board with their ridiculous play games at work but stab you in the back philosophy they will cut your throat. The management team feels that they are above the rest of the staff. Trust the reviews that say "run from this company." If you have to tell your staff that you are "the best place to work" then there is certainly some delusion going on. – less

Red Ventures...basketball court and gym on campus, fun, laid back, music blasting, you can wear whatever you want (can you say jeans or shorts to work on Monday...), lots of sales contests, people are calling you trying to order Directv service, ADT service, etc. (permission based calling center)

Inside sales for Lifelock Identity Theft Protection in a call center atmosphere. I learned a lot about the sales process, overcoming hesitations and objections, the importance of actively listening and creating urgency. Management is paid based off of performance of sales team so they tend to be pretty on top of you at all times. The culture and co – more... workers at Red Ventures are great if your looking for a younger crowd that likes to have fun while working. The hardest part about the job was having to be overly pushy. The most enjoyable part about the job was the people I worked with. – less

Remember this is a sales organization, their job is to sale YOU on the company. Your compensation plan changes frequently. Work during holidays. Lack of professionalism. If they want you out they find a way to get you out by picking through your bad calls. Managers make less than agents so there's no motivation to move up the company. If you are a few – more... minutes late you are subject to termination. They are not flexible when it comes to attendance. They try to make agents forget about lousy work place by having contest. 2 years ago this was a great workplace with outstanding compensation, not anymore. – less

Co workers were great. My manager was very informative. The typical day was full of surprises.

A typical day Monitor employees. Also handle calls if it gets to overflow. Present feedback to management.

If your goal after college is to work at a call center than this is the job for you. While they have done a good job markeitng the company, Red Ventures is a charade. Don't walk - run!

Its a great place to make money their commission is good. But there is no job stability. high turn over ratee

This place is a sweatshop!! If you want to work from 3pm-12am or 5pm-2am have fun! I Was there for about 6 months & never got better hours... & I was top 5 in "pot of gold" (best sellers plist) every week! Even after asking to get better hours they would not give them to me, shows how much they value good employees. After 6 months of being treated like – more... dirt I quit.

Also, when they find out that everyone is making some money they lower your commission structure so that you make less next month!

They make you request breaks & rest room visits. They have you tied down to your desk with headsets. You will never have 2 days off in a row EVER!

If you request paid time off you will never get it!

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Yeah it's a cool building & they give you free coffee... That's as good as it gets. It's not worth giving up your life for the peanuts they offer. Do not get sucked into their marketing tricks on the interview!!! BELIEVE ME THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE! – less

If you can sell, you can make a very good income for yourself.

Great work environment. Actually trying to get back to work there now!!

love working here :) some genius level developers
very dynamic workplace
improved my OO skills and mysql querying complexity
co workers are awesome
the job is demanding, if it wasn't, anyone could do it, and they wouldn't need me

they make it fun just no job or pay stability, I learned a significant amount about the sales industry, the environment is more of a right out of college atmosphere not a job for more serious employee, the treat and run it like a high school, excellent management.

A typical day at work felt like being back in high school listening to music, gossiping and hanging out with friends. A real laid-back, dress-down environment. I personally learned I will never do over the phone sales ever again because of a P.M. that had made me loose my composure on multiple occasions. I lost sales because he would rather have a customer – more... that did not have money at that time "bang on you", than set up a call back. I felt like every move I made was being scrutinized by him (made me really uncomfortable and loose confidence in my ability to sell). We would receive calls from customers that were just asking for questions, and we would pressure them into a sale by any means necessary, even if they had to go rob a bank to do so (because we better wait on the phone while they did it to get the sale)! I never felt comfortable asking a person if they would be able to borrow the money for a product or pull a guilt trip on them. It felt immoral, like I had sold my soul to the devil just for a commission check that really was not guaranteed to be that good! Co-workers were dropping out like flyes, everyone was under a crazy stress level to shine and some people thrive off of that and some do not. So that is the reason they are always hiring. Felt like I was drowning at the end of my time there. I knew it was time to go! – less
