Let me first start off that the culture the company sells you on, practically everyday, is that you are helping people. Was hired as a " Loan Matching Specialist " which the name in it of itself is misleading, due to the fact that I never offered customers that called any loans. Customers would call with the premise of acquiring a loan and we were trained to go through the process of finding out if they had debt to transfer them to a debt settlement company. If they didn't have debt we were trained to transfer them to credit repair. Total Bait & Switch. How is  this company still operating while practicing illegitimate  business practices and strategy's?? Well, quite simply you are given a script that you HAVE to say, like the phrase, " OTHER OPTIONS"  which covers them in the event someone actually files a complaint. Since all the calls are recorded they can easily play back and state to the customer, " WE TOLD YOU WE HAD OTHER OPTIONS".
There are a handful of other companies that offer these services so, there are plenty of customers that will clearly say, " I don't want any debt settlement or debt consolidation, is that what you are offering??" We are trained to evade/ flat out deny what they are talking about, when in the end that is exactly where they will be going!
Overall if you are integrous and truly have a good heart to want to help people, this job will slowly kill you inside. If all you care about is money, you can definitely make good money, although the company has changed there compensation structure 4 times already, because agents were making 100k-120k. So now you will be lucky if you make 75k.

Me again ;)
Not gonna let Amone or Quinstreet fool you both are the same…
Working as a Loan Matching Specialist at this company was a frustrating experience. Despite the title, the role had little to do with actually helping clients secure loans. Instead, the focus was on pushing services that many callers didn’t initially request. Management encouraged a strategy of acting uninformed and transferring calls when uncertain, which created a confusing and disorganized work environment.

The workplace culture felt disingenuous. Weekly meetings were filled with forced enthusiasm from management, but there was little acknowledgment of the multiple pay cuts employees had received. Success was purely numbers-driven—if you performed well one month, you were praised, but if your metrics slipped, you faced threats such as losing work-from-home privileges or receiving a “final warning.”

This is not a traditional sales role; rather, it feels like a gamble, where more effort and extra hours—including Saturdays—are strongly encouraged, yet there’s no guarantee of consistent earnings. Pay transparency was also a major issue, as employees often didn’t know their final compensation until the last minute, with management dismissing concerns about it.

Overall, the experience felt unsustainable due to unclear expectations, inconsistent pay, and a culture that prioritized numbers over employee well-being. For those looking for a stable and ethical work environment, I would recommend exploring other opportunities.

QuinStreet as a company has a very positive, supportive, and fun culture. Their health benefits in particular are excellent and extremely affordable. I absolutely loved interacting with my co-workers and I had some flexibility to manage my own team with my personal style. The management, however, leaves something to be desired... when I was there the management was very inexperienced and constantly made changes that were not based around employee feedback or common sense. I felt constantly criticized, undervalued, and condescended by all levels of management above me. This coupled with a mere 5 days of vacation time built up a lot of stress for me and drove me to leave. Additionally, while the company does have higher ethical standards than other telemarking companies, QuinStreet does to some extent manipulate its customer base through shady sales techniques. I was no longer comfortable working there after two years and I have been very happy elsewhere, even if I do have to pay more for health insurance. I know that the Oregon office of QuinStreet is run somewhat differently than the rest of the company, so things will probably be better for you if you work in a different office.

I was recruited to join quinstreet as a business development associate for their home services division  in beaverton oregon. That was  by far the biggest mistake I had ever made. I was reeled into working for a company which seemed a great move but after joining  Quinstreet I could see first hand how disorganized and dysfunctional the company was, not to mention how far they lagged behind the competition. In addition, two months after I was hired, I was slapped with a quota with which was never disclosed to me when I was hired and was unattainable. In addition, most prospects I had come across in this position either had no interest in working with quinstreet and their less than stellar product offerings, or had bad experiences with them previously.

In short, I would classify this company as approaching prospective employees as a "wolf in sheep's clothing". I had never been as miserable working for a company as I had for quinstreet as well as taking threats and verbal abuse from my supervisor, and whomever accepts the bus dev job will undoubtedly be nate koenigsfeld's whipping boy.

A typical day at work would be coming in and getting everything ready at your cubical. Check e-mails, (since rules & guidelines) seem to change every other day or weekly). You'd have to be on the phone when your shift starts. Following a script on the phones for 2hrs and get a 15 min break. Another 2-3 hrs and you get a lunch. Depending on what schedule you get, your lunch can be 30 minutes or an hour. Didn't really learn much except to keep quiet when customers yell at you. I just applied my skills to the job where I acquired from my previous jobs and it turned out okay. Headsets were outdated and difficult to hear through. Management was laid back but were not aligned with other management in the center. They always seem to be on different pages. Co-workers were all nice. Hardest part of the job had to be dealing with rude customers but keeping a positive attitude helped with that, so it didn't really bother me too much. Most enjoyable part of the job had to be that it was laid back and not sales aggressive.

AmOne was my home for over 4 years. I’ve seen the company grow at crazy rates. The first 2 years I was there, I would’ve never left. Management from top to bottom was top-notch. The job itself might be the easiest job you’ll ever do. It’s a grind with the hours (11-9) but money is decent. However, once QuinStreet bought us out, we went from a private company to a typical publicly traded corporate company and things went south FAST. Almost immediately, after the buy out they cut out pay. They cut out pay and one of the managers comes in with a Maserati the next day. From 2018- present, everything has went down hill. They cut pay, management does not care about you anymore and you’re expected to be on the phones basically an entire shift with minimal breaks. Veterans have left because of how the culture is now:Toxic. When Covid came about, things slowed down A LOT. Instead of management trying to be there for everyone, they told their employees “look in the mirror”. I really thought I was going to retire here at AmOne. It’s sad how things spiraled real quick.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lots of autonomy, good pay, excellent vacation and time off policy. But beware! You think they value you, and talk a good game, but then dispose of you and ruin your life by laying you off with absolutely no warning. In fact, the opposite: you could get excellent evaluations, a raise, and lots of praise…but apparently it’s only about numbers and a bottom line. Not loyal employees. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worrying about the powers that be and their concern with revenue …and if you cannot prove your value and how it relates to revenue, you’re gone. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
While you’re there it is supportive . But the goal post is always moving and it can be a bit disjointing and strategies are always changing . 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When I was there it was quite pleasant and I absolutely loved my team and immediate boss.

I start my day checking the emails,reply back to the emails which needs my input.Attend scrum meeting discuss the tasks done previous day,what will I do today and any blockage in finishing the task. Prioritize my tasks if anything comes up all of a sudden and start working on it to complete the task.Quinstreet is an online marketing company so we see production issues ,I talk to business team and my manager trouble shoot the issue and report to developer.
At quinstreet learned to do multiple tasks in a single day apart from working on my regular tasks.It is a very complex project where the consumers are connected to one end and the insurance carriers are integrated to an other end. where we work on multiple things like webservices testing,backend testing,looking into server logs,database verification.
The enjoyable part is we work and have fun talk with my co workers which makes me relaxing ,go out for lunch once  a week.

Any previous reviews, I'd be weary of as the entire HR/management team that was so amazing was replaced with Adecco who are enforcing policy to the a crazy level. 

Initially the lenient attendance policy helped me succeed as someone suffering with anxiety, and I was able to focus on the job and become one of the top 2 representatives in my campaign. But when the new management came in, it seems like they're firing people slowly so they can transition to only employees originating with Adecco.

Its no longer relaxing as they don't know what they're doing and are writing people up for little to no reason. I'm leaving to find a better job even though I really loved working there and it provided me with a lot of growth, but the room for growth is gone and they really just want expendable employees who don't care about their job.

I've been at the company for several years now, which has given me the experience of working in office and remote. Working remote definitely takes more work in terms of staying connected with your team and the teams you work with, but they make it easier to do so. Management here understands that people have lives outside of work, but also knows how to keep their employees engaged. From my previous company, after the first year, you can start feeling stuck or not being challenged enough, not here. I feel like I'm heard, my opinion is valued, and there's opportunity for me. 

I will say that growth doesn't just come to you here because you've been here for a while. You have to work for the promotion and show the opportunity to go above and beyond.
