GetScale

Underemployment, you will be paid so minimally it’s not even funny. You will never know if anything is for sure, you will always be questioning if you will have a job the next couple of weeks. You could have the best couple months you’ve had in the company, then you have a rough week (slight underperformance nothing major) and then they’re cutting your commission in half and putting you on a plan to get you out of there. Incredibly unfair practices, management never knows if they like the idea they came up with last month or if they want to completely revamp and go for something new and then change back and so on, it’s never stable ever. The coworkers are great, the culture is great, it’s incredibly unstable, they consistently laid off people that would be preforming well. The pay is so minimal for the soul sucking work. You will not make enough to save, or to put yourself into a better spot upon leaving. The honey moon phase is great, they have some perks to try to get you to forget that you’re underpaid and overworked and consistently being disrespected as a person. The things that upper management does is some of the most bold faced disrespect I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve been in some pretty poorly managed sales companies. It’s a cool little starter job if you need work asap but don’t depend on the commission checks being significant at all. Don’t depend on the job being stable at all, don’t depend on your team leads or managers to actually try to help you at all, they’re all stressed out and dealing with the same stress trying to play it off. Honeymoon phase will wrap you up though and it’s hard to leave when you’re there because it’s hybrid and the coworkers are great. Incredibly high turnover. 
They change the workflow and process and throw obstacles at you all day everyday, take time away from your work but will never ever change the expectation ever. They will actually actively take your time for work away from you and raise the expectation, find any way to give you a new quota. It’s a joke, and it’s disrespectful, don’t do it to yourself. 

When I first got the job at GetSales, I thought it was going to be super exciting. They made it sound like there were lots of chances to move up and even work from home four days a week. But after being here for over a year and a half, I've started to see things a lot differently.

The Good:
- Cool Beginning: In the beginning, the job seems fun and full of opportunities.
- Promise of Home Work: The idea of working from home a lot is pretty awesome.
- Hardworking Teammates: Everyone around me is working super hard, aiming to get better positions in the company.
- Lunchdrop credit

The Bad:
- No Real Growth: They talk about growing and moving up in the company, but that isn't the case, most management positions are brought in not brought up.
- Constant Check-ins: They're always listening to our calls and giving us feedback on how to "do better", which can be annoying, especially if you're already doing well.
- Feeling Micromanaged: It feels like someone's always watching over your shoulder, which is really stressful. Don't forget you're being recorded even when the line is dialing.
- Overwhelming Workload: They expect us to find a ton of new people to talk to every day, and it's just too much. It's easy to fall behind, and then you feel even more stressed. No time to keep up with old leads.
- Non-Stop Phone Calls: You end up spending your whole day on the phone. Because of the huge number of calls you have to make to meet your daily goals, there's no time to take a break. If you stop dialing even for a little bit, you'll fall behind, and then there's a ton of pressure to catch up.
- Takes 7 months to get your 4 days WFH
- After lunch "meetings" to talk about what you did or didn't eat for lunch. We aren't children, let us work. 
-You are cold calling.

After sticking it out for more than a year and a half, I've realized that this job isn't what I thought it would be. Things changed. The constant pressure, non-stop phone calls, and lack of real chances to move up have made me pretty unhappy. Use it as a launch pad if you must but you've been warned. 

GetScale is a company only for a select few. The work is very repetitive and the pay is quite bad considering the cost of living in Austin, TX. Higher management wouldn't understand due to their very fortunate income. If you're comfortable with working hard with low pay and supporting the luxurious lifestyle of young professionals, this is the place for you. 

The company's current reputation can be attributed to decisions made in the past few years. An important example includes GetScale recruiting a high-ranking decision-maker from a company with a questionable reputation. Since this decision-maker's tenure at GetScale, the company's reputation has also become questionable. Turnover is higher than ever and individuals including myself are not satisfied with the decisions made. It seems like this decision-maker's main contribution to GetScale is satisfying upper management and business partners while being indifferent toward sales reps, who are the backbone of the company. Other than that, this decision-maker's work is mediocre at best. Why is the status and future of sales reps put in the hands of someone who posts more on social media than doing meaningful work, like attempting to boost employee morale? (And no: Buying cheap pizza does not boost morale) Why is the company paying this decision-maker handsomely when they've arguably contributed to the current reputation of GetScale? People like myself want to know.

Here's a constructive suggestion: The company should ensure this decision-maker practices what they preach and they can do that by putting this decision-maker on a plan (PIP). This ensures that the decision-maker is serious about trying to improve the company and is willing to be held accountable for all their decisions. It's a new year and something different needs to be done. 

Here's my honest review, there are plenty of cons. When I asked management for something, it takes nearly a day to get an answer, many pointless meetings and the pay structure is never clearly explained, smoke and mirrors everywhere. They say they care about you but when it comes down to business you get let go via video chat. Trying to help the companies that we are hired for when they themselves don't know what they are doing does not help either. Previous jobs, management got on any issues we had right away, not hours later. Never was late, called out only once due to sickness but still worked from home after that. I guess loyalty to a company is something they don't value here. I would have loved to grow with this company but I would steer clear as an experienced sales person, only work here if you are new to sales, get experience and get out asap.

Advice to Management;

Put better people who actually know what they are doing in management that actually show urgency to do their job. There are a few who do, but there are way more who don't. Also don't overlook hardworking people for management positions and bring people over from different departments to be managers, I understand seniority but they have to learn a whole new system and process while normal reps work hard and help build the department.

When I first got here, it was great. Loved the people. The energy was good. I learned some new skills for calling jobs, I learned the hard way if you are atop of the leaderboards like I was, you’ll be rewarded with Performance Improvement plan. Then they’ll boot you off.  They praise themselves on “coaching” but they don’t coach anything. 
Management was awful. They had us do meetings 2-3x a week, when you’re on a PIP, it makes it hard to get off that PIP. All meetings were the same as we discussed the previous meeting. It was pointless. 
They want you to suck up to management and that’s how you get promoted. They mask their awful management with $100/month for lunch, which is nice and the drink cart that comes around on Friday. But they don’t know what they are doing. They also told us they would have X amount of leads coming in. They brought on 10 new ppl to the team in prep for the leads. Those leads never came, and they started to look at small things to mark people off, which happened to me, regardless of my numbers. 
 Getscale? More like GetScammed. 
 The CEO is really cool and nice, nothing but respect for him, which saddens me writing this review. 

GetScale comes off as a good opportunity because it is designed that way. They say it is remote/WFH when, in reality, you will begin earning one day a week after a matter of months. They insist it is no cold calling but the truth is most people are not expecting a call from you and if they don't outright hang up on you, will not be happy you called. Because the process never changes, "managers" have nothing to do but micro-manage and actively monitor what you are doing. At the end of the day, the expectation is that you are glued to your chair making 150-200 calls a day just to be paid virtually nothing and graded against numbers you have no insight into. I can guarantee if there's an open position it has been posted for more than 30 days because they never come down. I think most people are able to see most positive reviews of this place are fake.New training class every 30-60 days just to replace reps that have ended up burnt out and moved on. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere before you end up being part of this carousel. 

GetScale isn’t just a company—it’s a community of passionate, innovative, and driven individuals who are all about making an impact. From day one, I felt empowered to bring ideas to the table and contribute to meaningful projects that truly drive results for our clients.

The leadership at GetScale is top-notch. They foster a culture of collaboration, growth, and transparency that makes you feel valued and motivated every step of the way. They invest in their people, offering incredible opportunities for personal and professional development.

What sets GetScale apart is the dynamic and fast-paced environment, paired with a supportive team that has your back. It’s a place where you can challenge yourself, grow, and make a real difference—not just for the company, but for the clients and industries we serve.

If you’re looking for a company where you can thrive, learn, and be part of something amazing, GetScale is the place to be. I’m grateful for my time there and would recommend it to anyone who’s ready to take their career to the next level! 

an ok company to start your sales career. it will get very boring if you don't progress to a different role. my recommendation is to get your experience and move on to a better opportunity once it presents itself. 

management: what are you doing? you have to be better.  why is the sales floor constantly changing while management will remain the same? how can anyone trust this company if there's no indication that anyone on management will be held accountable? it's sweet that most of you have each other's back but from an outside perspective it looks biased and cliquey. if you try spectating who wrote this review or any other negative ones, please don't. it's waste of time. don't do that. be better. get your affairs in order and wrap it up. you can't keep this up. you all know it. the status quo of management is going to shift sometime and those tough conversations are going to be had. time kills deals. why not start now?  

The honeymoon phase was and will be over as quick as the laptop shut at the end of orientation. The only thing this company has going for them is a Lunchdrop voucher and breakfast bar which is a cheap hook to mask the stench of weak leadership, productivity and workplace culture.  If you are 18 - 25 maybe 26-30 and don't care about your future, commission payouts and how people will treat you and make you feel, or those around you that your care about feel, then sign up!  If you are older than that ha good luck! You will either have a mental breakdown due to the amount of daily HR violations that reach new levels of incompetency or seen as a threat to entry level team leadership and product manager. Who try but lack the experience to properly handle a team, who try, but should and could have complaints from HR every day if any of the naive workplace culture kids had a real clue. But here's a my advice, don't roll the dice with this one. Run. 

I worked at GetScale for about 2 years. I see a lot of negative reviews about them but I disagree. 

For me, this job was an excellent opportunity right after graduating college. Yes, the pay could be a little bit better but this is an ENTRY LEVEL sales job. I think most of the people that posted a negative review looked at this role the wrong way. They give you a shot when most companies refuse to hire people with no experience. 

I noticed that turnover often resulted from reps not wanting to put in the necessary effort. It's sales, not customer service - you don't get paid to just show up, you have to earn your commission. 

My manager and team lead were great, I learned a tremendous amount during my time there. This experience ultimately helped me secure my current role as an account manager.

Overall, I appreciate the chance I was given at GetScale and the skills I developed there.
