Of course your initial interaction w/the front line is great but wait until you get your feet wet, you'll see the truth if you have discernment

In some cases the right people do not get promoted

Not grooming people in advance causes the wrong people to be in leadership roles

Some managers favor certain employees and they make it so obvious

There's a lack of communication - so many people in management seek to be understood but they don't seek to understand 

The company is on CEO #3 within 1 year (which is alarming)

I've been w/the company for 3 yrs and noticed certain people have been in temporary roles for 2yrs or more :/

The unfortunate mindset is that people are replaceable or disposable

The leaders are sales driven and extremely focused on beating their competitor but they're not focused on improving the the quality of the culture/the wellness of the employees, providing raises, bonuses (for everyone not just for Senior Management) - Too much focus on the tasks and not the individuals

Set up the employees for success; offer various training throughout the company not just for Sales Reps

Retrain your managers because some of them have no morals, they don't value employees, nor do they understand how to manage people (or get rid of them and groom people who are teachable and will get the job done)

Some management take care of their employees, others don't, but all and all the Decision Makers need to reset the tone because some great talent left the company (including the CEO of the latter part of 2015)

Take care of your employees and they will take care of you!

I started Rentpath as a contractor in September 2014. I was told by the agency that the company was professional, organized, and there was plenty of opportunities to become permanent. 

After the first week I realized I was sold a dream. The culture was so unorganized, unprofessional, and very unprogressive. I was humiliated time and time again by my peers and management was fully aware of this. 
I stayed to myself while working there. Ear buds in and mind focused on the money because I knew I would not last in that environment too much longer. I applied for other jobs from 9-6 and would NOT LET UP until I received a job offer. I knew that I was not a good fit for this company nor department. 
My managers were both very untrustworthy and one was extremely unprofessional! They were BOTH FIRED! Why? Because they were unprofessional and one thought she was our peer and failed to realize she was in management. I tried my best to diffuse a situation between myself and another young lady there. What did management do? Tried to kick it into HIGH gear and I honestly believe they took my professionalism as a weakness.
The dress code is A MESS. If you have a work wardrobe you will not have a chance to wear it here. No beuno and if you do you will stick out like a sore thumb. If you are used to a “call center” environment, then you would LOVE working here. If you’re not then use this place as a stepping stone and keep applying for other positions. 
From what I hear from the perm employees is that you will never make what you are worth. There are a few MBA holders that only make 33k. A waste.

RUN!!! You will get a new comp plan every 2 weeks.
Management is HORRIBLE!!!
This Company does NOT care about their employees.

Ask about the drops and the deductions on your commissions that you will face if you do not meet your new client count, specially BAD in California and Texas.

If a property drops their listing you are responsible for making up that revenue on the same month they drop.

If a property wants to upsell to have better placement, you are responsible to make that money up the next month or 2 since they consider that a non-reoccurring revenue.

If a new property wants to start in the on the current calendar month, this company consider that a "Back Bill" since they work a month ahead. You will be responsible to make that money up the next issue.

If you make your revenue target but not your new client count monthly they will deduct your commission check about $2,000
since they "pay" 500 dollars for each new client.

You will have to service, and upsell an average of 60 properties in addition to your New prospects in order to just stay afloat. 

Ask what is exact commission percentage for each upsell and renewal for each property, what is their turn over, how often do they change comp plans and how often do they increase their rates.

In closing....No matter how hard you work, you will NEVER make more than 80,000 a year that includes 40k of base salary specially in California and Texas since they have a different com plan from the rest of the country.They will change your comp plan almost every other week, and you will never see an increase on your commissions even if you are above plan.

In my opinion: 

You get to work from home which is awesome. This core product is simple and easy to sell. Great paid time off. You can kind of run your day on your schedule. The people (prospects/clients) in the field are amazing. Did I say this is an easy Sales Job?

You have to play crazy Politics. 

They will tell you can make 6 figures + in your interview. It’s a stretch. Unless the stars align. There are a lot of variables out of your control including who your direct supervisor favors. 

They don’t tell you how you get paid until you are out in the field. You are constantly behind in commission opportunity due to clients canceling due to things like low performance. This is out of your control. 

DSM’s are all over the place. One day it’s okay to be 2nd best in the market and the next day it’s a tragedy that you didn’t sign a prospect because the prospect said you are well-known for low performance. 

You may be asked to spin the truth about the performance of their services. 

Seems like upper management is grasping at straws to move the company forward. 

One month they will allow you to do certain things like give away free upgrades to sign clients. The next month there will be a company-wide stop on this. The next month your boss will offer it again. 

They will tell you in your interview that you can give away cool swag to your prospects and clients. It’s basically pens and notepads. 

Use caution of joining small and medium markets. My advice before joining is do your research and due diligence.

At the end of the day, I left this company because of the culture. It just wasn't worth the pay.

I would open the office and check my emails. Then I would proceed to work on whatever was the required information on a very tight schedule. There was a different task usually scheduled for every day and when it was time to do the layout of the magazine, some items had to be pushed to another day. The magazine was the most important part of this position. I felt comfortable working with my direct supervisor on this aspect of the job, but I had two supervisors and I was not as comfortable with her style of communicating what she needed.

Management was only concerned with certain reports that needed to be fulfilled at various times of the month. They were very respectful when they talked with me and I even thought they liked me. That is the hardest part of my jobs, I want everyone to like me and my work and anywhere you go, you are always going to be faced with some type of adversity or someone who does not care for your particular work style and ethics.

The most enjoyable part of my job was working with my direct supervisor. Our communication between us was excellent and she was one of a kind boss. I also enjoyed being the only person in the office, when she was on the road. I am very comfortable working alone with minimal supervision. If I would have had the right trainers and ones that spoke with me respectfully, I think I could have learned all the aspects that this position required.

A typical work day can be anything from a customer calling for assistance with their product, sales rep, listing, photos, account, billing or needing help.  

I learned that RentPath could be a great company if they would treat all employees the same. They have a click within the culture, and serving their customers comes last.  The work place culture at RP several years ago was amazing.  A CEO who cared about people and the employees who worked hard to kept the doors open.  

The hardest part of the job was knowing favoritism was at the top of their list, no matter how hard you work.  

They fired their best managers and kept ones that were not qualified or lied about what they knew about their role, to save face.  Time tells the story of who people really are, and when you let other people influence a growing business because that's how they work people to move up, it's a failure and never can be successful.  

Customers and employees are what make a business successful, I recommend to get rid of the worst - starting with the top, and you just might have a chance before it's too late. 

Don't work here, it's not worth your time.  A job should feel good "Everyday" because it is what makes a person want the best after a long day at work with a company that values what they do, and what life has to offer.

This is by far the worst company that I have ever encountered.  BE CAREFUL if you are applying to work here.  Upper managers are super shady and they don't care at all about employees.  The pay is way too low and there is no morale.  Stay far away if you see a job posting, the turnover is constant.  Very few people are happy and most are looking for new jobs because you will quit or get fired.  This is not a real sales job, closing deals has nothing to do with sales talent.  If you take clients out for drinks then you will close deals or if you have friends in property management then you will close sales but it also depends on the cards you are dealt.  They favor people that are intellectually challenged which is embarrassing for a company (they should be so ashamed).  If you like working with extreme drama, unfair practices, very low pay, fear, dishonesty, a revolving door, lack of appreciation, poor management, and selfish employees, then this is definitely the job for you.  Good luck with this one.  It would be in your best interest to keep looking elsewhere.  You will only be kicking yourself if you actually get hired here.

My Rent.com duties required us to assist renter customers in usage of the website to find an apartment on their own. Job duties also include assisting renter customers in claim the $100 VISA reward card for there usage of the website.

Working for Rent.com help me acquire knowledge in the rental market and the power of advertisement for properties and renters. 

Management at the company was great, friendly and educating. Making sure that I was up to speed on projects and assignments as well as new initiatives with in the company. 

The most difficult part at Rent was help the renters understand that the $100 VISA reward card was a legit bonus for there using and telling the property about Rent.com. If a step was missed it would cause the renter to miss out on the reward. This could very well be the sole reason for them to use the service. 

The most rewarding part of the job, was the people that worked there. Working smart and hard to make Rent.com number one in the rental market!

While working for this company, change was a constant. As a sales manager, you learn to live with and adapt to change. At Rentpath however, change never seemed to have rhyme or reason to it. Rarely change made things better. Frequently change negatively impacted relationships with management companies - putting the sales team in a position to pick up the pieces. As a manager, I often needed to address frustrated employees and reassure them the company was doing things for the better, when I didn't believe it myself. Lastly, the one constant that never changed were the ever increasing goals for the sales department with no appreciation for a job well done. Raises did not exist. I was specifically told the company believes selling more is a sales person's raise. I lost one of my best people when a small $2000 a year raise would have made her happy, it was refused. So she quit out of principle.

JOB stands for Just Over Broke. That is what you will gain from working here. This is not a career opportunity but rather a place to level up your skills. Too much micro-managing. Not enough work-life balance. People are treated as numbers and not people. The people who work on the team are an amazing group of people; however, the managers and directors are too busy trying to be a boss and not a leader. There is no career path set, no matter how hard you work. You will be promised so much until it comes time to deliver in terms of promotion. It is only to get you to do the work that others do not want to do. Pay is okay. Just do not overextend yourself beyond what they are willing to pay. This should really be a work from home job but they will not update with the rest of the world.
