Scotlynn

I really enjoy working at Scotlynn USA.  The team is collaborative and team focused.  We are asked to work together on projects and are given a lot of training to be successful in our jobs. Our new HQ is absolutely awesome.  Great gym, onsite services; teeth cleaning, massages, chiropractic care, cafe, onsite bar.  We are usually in the office between 730am and 530pm most days.  You will take calls after hours, however, they are your customers and often the calls are short.  We are well paid with our commission structure of 30% of all of our profits.  Several of our account managers have already exceded $1,000,000 in profit year to date with our top account manager at over $2 million in profit.  

They’ll start off by being your best friend, and then after 6 months of “training” (training is working under someone who is busy and doing all of the hard work for them, while teaching you NOTHING about how to be successful when it’s your time to shine.) Day 1 of sales you won’t have a single clue on what to do, they won’t reach you anything to succeed, but they’ll expect you to make them money, before being allowed to flip to commission. 90% of prospects you look for and find will have already been taken in some sort of way and you won’t even be allowed to contact them. The ones who succeed started years ago, the ones who will succeed in the future are the 3-6 people who get gifted major customers from your manager. Aka being a female will get you to that level, or a major kiss-booty. This place will drive you absolutely nuts. Other companies will allow you to have commission and a salary, aka a normal company. Your managers will ask you way too personal of questions afterhours that make you feel uncomfortable. I could go on and on but I’ll stop here, run away as fast as possible if you ever come across this job. 0/10.

I've been in the workforce for about 23 years and the 4 years I've been at Scotlynn have been the best. If you give them your best they wil give you theirs. The company culture is unmatched .This is not a job for lazy people looking for an easy 8-5 M-F gig with an average paycheck. This is a place for people who want success, and are willing to work for it. 
The day starts a few min before 8am and usually ends around 5-5:30, depending on your efforts and planning. Managers push you to be your best, and give you the tools necessary to grow. At first your work/life balance isn;t that great, but over time as you grow and learn it becomes very normal, like any other sales job. You'll have occasional after hours calls and emails but Scotlynn provides afterhours employees to assist in those situations. 

I was referred to Scotlynn by a colleague in the area and did a lot of research on the company before making the decision to consider them for employment.  The more that I talked/interviewed with the company the more I was impressed with the leadership and the direction of the company.  The company is exceeding the projected growth plan and we are getting ready to move into a brand new building with amazing facilities; fitness center that rivals private clubs, cafe that makes hot healthy food, free coffee/micro brew etc.  The President/EVP for the US Division seems to be very focused on doing the right things to make a great work environment.  There is a definite energy when you walk in to the offices. 

I have been here less than 6 months and I love coming to work. It is long hours sometimes, but the opportunity being offered here along with the companies guidance is amazing. Don't mock this place until you try it. If you can work hard and you honestly aren't lazy you can make it here. I know what other reviews say cause I read them before I took this job. This job pays 38K Salary which is $15.59 an hour after tax. In my opinion its not enough but the opportunity after your 6 month trainee period opens up a door to make way more than that, it all depends how hard you want to work to build your clients. Some people really kill it, some people do good, and some do alright but they all make way more than the starting salary. If you want to be paid more you need to be worth it, not for Scotlynn, but for yourself and future customers.

A typical training day starts by clearing the top brokers' boards while they doordash breakfast. 3rd-4th hour are grabbing updates from carriers while your brokers play ping-pong. Lunch starts around 12 and ends sometime before 3 for brokers while you answer broken english emails from Bhagdad and eat at your desk. This goes on for 6 months until you're dropped into sales and told to make them 40k in commish or get out. None of the established brokers are from the current system except the select few whom get gifted accounts by management. Also be ready to get berated daily by men who require momentum to get out of their chairs.

I’ve been here at scotlynn for almost 3 weeks so far the communication is bad. I took my truck into peterbuilt for the alternator at 6:30 pm and it took them four hours to approve the repair then peterbuilt ran into a problem with my pulley and they had to replace it they sent the quote at 4:21 am I had to keep calling them to get it approved and paid for. Then the next morning my batteries died and I called them to get a jumpstart paid for at 7:30 I didn’t hear back about it being approved or not I found out when the loves technician showed up and night time dispatch didn’t even let my dispatcher know what was going on. 

Overall great company to work for but it is a 24/7 industry and you will be required to work from home often. The biggest downside is the 6 month training program before you can switch to commission. During my training I was working around 60 hours a week and would have to work every other Saturday so I felt I had zero work life balance. The money is there if you can make it through the training but you need to be 100% invested if you want to succeed.

If you’re a minority, expect to work a thousand times harder than your coworkers. And if related somehow to the CEO / friends with a manager? You’ll get gifted accounts, and literally 6 figure business plans placed in your lap, so the company can make a larger profit, and the rest of the newcomers actually feel like financial freedom is possible through their company. It’s all lies, and propaganda - they spoonfeed those who they like / related to, and everyone else - kick rocks. 

DO NOT WORK HERE. They lock you into a “training period” for months and don’t let you out of it until they feel like it or have the resources to train you. Then they really only care about their star performers but anyone who isn’t in sales isn’t cared about or listened to. Toxic work environment. Manager did nothing to protect people from this because they were understaffed and under qualified to be a manager.
