Pros

-Work in Manhattan - COO is absolutely awesome, if only the rest of upper management had the same great attitude and drive that he does

Cons

- You are glued to a computer all day making phone calls and trying to set up "meetings" with companies, this requires no education or real talent. -Pay is extremely low, especially if you want to live in Manhattan - Sales manager "C" is extremely rude, catty and overall just not a nice person. She clearly chooses favorites the moment you come through the door and doesn't have a problem hiding her feelings towards you at all. Basically if you don't have the same catty attitude as hers, she won't like you - When I applied, I applied and accepted a position that would have placed me in Hawaii, by the time I got to training 3 weeks later I found out that this position was no longer available and the majority of upper management had been fired just weeks before I started - You are promised one thing, and when it comes time for H.Bloom to follow through on that promise, they come up with all sorts of excuses as to why they can't deliver it to you. - HIGH TURNOVER! -They all think that for some reason cold calling is the best thing ever - let's be honest here. If you busted your butt in college to get a great job post-grad cold calling is about the furthest thing you could be doing that is utilizing any sort of skill you learned in college. Instead it makes you second guess why you are even at the company - They put a glamorous front, but in reality there is absolutely nothing even remotely great about this job - When I read these reviews as an applicant I wish I would have taken them more seriously. I only hope that future applicants will read these and really take to heart what previous experiences have been like. Unless your idea of a dream job is calling hundreds of businesses every day only to be hung up on, or reach someones voicemail this job isn't for you.

H.BLOOM Response

We are sorry you had this experience with H.Bloom under previous management. Transparency is a pillar of our improved mission statement, as inclusivity is vital to any organization's success. We can assure since then, our business is healthier than ever in terms of our expert network and progressive large contract business model. We have repositioned ourself entirely to allow for the fairest experience for all stakeholders, internal and external. Our sales organization is empowered to self teach, but we certainly have made great efforts to ensure ongoing training and support as well as competitive, incentivized commission packages on both a team and individual level are prioritized. We have the lowest turnover rates in our existence, and can proudly say we have worked hard to make our team feel valued, we couldn't do this everyday without each and every one of them. Thank you for your contributions while you were with us and feel free to reach out to our general manager if you care to discuss any specific further.

Pros

Really supportive team of people who care about your success. The demands and expectations were very clear and reasonable. Lots of guidance provided.

Cons

Base salary was a little low and building your own book of business is very tough, so not very much additional commission.
