Olly Olly

I had a fair level of success in this role but encountered problems with consistency. From a personal accountability perspective I lost my drive to perform the role to the fullest because I was truly burnt out. If I had a tough month I had to depend on reactive leadership instead of proactive leadership because accountability was lacking and structure was constantly changing due to high turnover among teams. If I wasn't able to set my own appointments  during regular business hours I often had to decide between putting myself in a situation where I had to work after hours to either prospect, cold call more or run a teammate's appointment(s) and take the split. 20 selling days can go by very fast and even though the minimum quota is very doable at $1250 you only receive a partial payout with the potential for clawback (money taken out of your next commission payout) if the client leaves before the third payment of the service. The full payout of $2000 in commission is ultimately what makes the job worth it and if you don't hit that number consistently the cold calling you do everyday really isn't worth the base salary because of how many rejections and smokescreens you deal with to get there. This job isn't for everyone but it is a good starting point for those jump starting their professional career in sales and understand quickly that this job requires a lot of mental fortitude and you will be challenged everyday if you let your mindset slip.

I've worked at a number of sales companies in Charlotte including a competitor and Olly Olly is bar none the best org I've worked for. I love that the company is owned by a brother & sister who are very passionate about their mission to help small & medium sized businesses. And we stand by our quality. Websites and everything else is built custom to the clients' need. But the best part about working here is that I feel VALUED! I'm not a number. I'm not asked to make 100+ calls to just hit a number, and I don't have someone breathing down my neck and judging me on what I'm doing wrong. It's a bit of a more laid back environment, and Management is always there to help. What makes my day is seeing my peers in another city or my VP or one of the owners giving me a shout out when I close a deal. It gives me a high to keep going and it really is like a family. The company also values diversity because we have teammates in several other countries. Base is a little low starting off, but if you put your nose down and work hard, you can increase your salary and reap the rewards of uncapped commissions. I've been here for eight months, and already got a promotion to a Team Lead. This was the best decision in my career, and I wanted to give back and share my experience so others can see and be a part of this family as we continue to grow!

I wouldn't go as far as saying 5 stars but 4.5 would be safe. The company sells websites and seo packages to small businesses. You better have thick skin and be willing to get hung up on. If you can take that and stay motivated it's a pretty easy job. The comp plan is great, especially if you are willing to work hard. Sometimes  you have to work outside of normal hours but that is only if you want to run more appointments or want to make more money. Work life balance is good but top performers usually work a little more. Training is also good but you have to be able to perform under pressure from day one, which some people struggle with. The managers in my office are all approachable and are usually willing to help. I do have friends who haven't gotten as much attention at times but I think that is a two way street. This is the first time I have worked somewhere that all of the leaders are easy to get along with. Even though it's a small company there isn't one on one time with the owners like I thought there would be. My favorite part is the culture and people. Music can be too loud sometimes but they do their best to make it fun. I have enjoyed my time here and love the financial and the growth opportunities available. This isn't my first sales role so I knew what to expect but if you are new to cold calling just be prepared to take a lot of no's. If you can do that you can make a lot of money.

This job is the most unorganized and unprofessional job I’ve ever had. From the start everything seems fine and dandy but you quickly realize that’s it’s everything but that. For starters, the training manager comes off as extremely condescending and rude when you ask simple questions to better understand the material and jobs. She’ll make you feel dumb for asking but also make you feel dumb for not understanding. Training is about a month long and then the actual office managers don’t offer any support or training until you’re completely on your own. The work is very inconsistent and if you do not like cold calling and being over bearing with blue collar business workers, run far away from here. Management will not take responsibility for situations that happen out of your control and will ultimately blame you and put you on corrective action. The higher ups will put on an act and pretend they care but offer no support. There’s also no HR, never heard of a company that has employees in the states and out of the country not having an HR Department. They will constantly push you to do better but don’t give the necessary tools/training to be better. Clear favoritism throughout the company as well and as much as they claim everything is done “in house” it is not. 

**Company Review:**

This company presents itself as a "small, family-owned business" but operates with the worst traits of a large corporation. The owners are distant and clearly uncaring, only interested in profits while paying little attention to the well-being of their employees. Local management is ineffective, with little to no leadership skills, contributing to a chaotic and unorganized work environment.

Turnover is incredibly high due to the low pay and stressful conditions, with employees often leaving for better opportunities. The sales VP is a running joke among the staff, with no clear vision or understanding of the market. Unrealistic expectations are placed on employees without the necessary support or resources to achieve them, creating a constant sense of pressure and dissatisfaction.

Morale is consistently low, and it’s no surprise that there is a revolving door of staff coming and going. The company pushes for results but provides little to no incentive to stay or succeed. Overall, the environment is toxic, and I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for long-term career development or even basic respect in the workplace.

A typical day at Olly Olly involved high volumes of work with shifting priorities and minimal structure. Expectations were often unclear, and roles could evolve without notice or proper support.

During my time there, I learned the importance of advocating for myself and the value of clear communication and transparency—lessons I’ll carry with me into future roles.

Management was inconsistent, and leadership lacked alignment and follow-through. Feedback was often reactive rather than proactive, which made professional growth difficult.

The workplace culture struggled with cohesion. While some individuals were committed to doing their best, the overall environment lacked collaboration, trust, and psychological safety.

The hardest part of the job was navigating disorganization and the absence of strong leadership or a supportive framework.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a truly enjoyable aspect of the job. However, the experience reinforced my appreciation for well-led teams and environments that prioritize employee well-being and clear direction.

I absolutely love working at Olly Olly. Leadership is genuinely supportive of everyone from management to entry-level employees. They value our feedback since we’re the ones communicating directly with clients, but they also challenge us to think creatively and push beyond the obvious when problem-solving.

One of the things I appreciate most is the transparency around growth. There’s a clear roadmap for how to advance and earn more in every role. It’s not always easy, but the expectations are fair and help you grow both professionally and personally.

I’ve truly never felt more supported by my team or by other departments. Collaboration and communication are strong here. Yes, there have been quite a few changes over the past year, and more will come as we continue to evolve, but that’s part of building something great. The future feels incredibly bright for anyone willing to invest their time and energy into Olly Olly.

Olly Olly does an ok  job training you but the problem is they pick certain people to focus on more than others in training. Training last a month and they will fire you after a month if you don’t meet certain goals. After training, they send you to a team and depending on who your manager is, you’ll get additional training. 
It’s a lot of cold calling and if you don’t feel comfortable being told no or getting yelled at on the phone then this job won’t work out. 
There is favoritism in the office for sure. They idolize the top performers like they are celebrities and often times will treat employees who are having slow months differently. If you are having a slow month, they make it known to you they are disappointed. Almost like a parent scolding a child for behaving poorly. 
It’s a casual culture with young managers but you hardly find people that stay more than a year here. Often times, employees just leave out of the blue because they disliked the job so much

Working at Olly Olly has been a really solid experience so far. You get a ton of real sales reps early on — prospecting, pitching digital marketing services, and managing your own pipeline. It’s definitely a fast-paced environment, but if you want to get better at sales and learn quickly, you will.

The best part is easily the culture. The team is great, everyone’s pretty supportive, and the office energy is high. It’s honestly just fun — people celebrate wins, joke around, and make the day-to-day grind way more enjoyable. For a sales job, the atmosphere is actually pretty chill while still being competitive.

Overall, it’s a great place to build real sales skills, learn about digital marketing, and work with a team that makes coming into work enjoyable.

Family...Owned... Business.  I cannot stress it enough.  With so many jobs promoting a "JOB", Olly Olly promotes a CAREER.  There are so many other positions that have a corporate structure that restricts you in ability to grow, Work-Life Balance, and overall day-day at a company.  Find another company where you can have direct access to the 2 owners 24/7 and they will hop into trainings, meetings, and huddles to extend advice and transparency.  Fun environment.  Great opportunity to make money and you don't need 15 deals to do so.  Low Volume & High Payouts.  Also they hire within!  Many opportunities to advance your CAREER and not have a stale job.
