![]() Sales management is your friend half of the time and not present or aloof the other half of the time. Only five days of training and for a recent graduate this could feel very rushed and overwhelming.Īfter your second week you will begin to realize that the service offered is not very unique and does not seem to work.įeels like you just joined a fraternity or sorority.īBB rating dropped to a B- over time and then mysteriously shot back up (read some of the reviews and determine if you want to be selling this sort of service all day long to small business owners who do not have large marketing budgets) This is a glorified call center and you are the telemarketer, do not let any job description fool you.Ī handful of these five star reviews are written by interns who are told to do so. If your are highly considering joining this sinking ship, turn the other way. But what's most ironic is that if you DO decide to work here, you are constantly on the phone with merchants discussing the importance of having social media pages and comments. Oh, and have you noticed they disable comments on any videos and pictures about their company on prominent social media sites? This is to hide the TRUTH from the people who have experienced FratPost first-hand. But Fratpost wouldn't know this because they fire you before they even get a chance to learn and grow from the outcome. If you let a customer off the phone because he/she simply doesn't want or need the product, you are grilled immensely instead of being taught what to do to better the outcome next time a situation occurs. Unprofessional management that lacks any real-world experience or training. Having a keg of flat beer and Keurig coffee pods in a basket doesn't qualify you as as a startup. ![]() (for those that don't know, COLD calling is when you call a small business who is working their 9 to 5 out of the blue and convincing them to drop their hard-earned money on a product that, as you've read in other reviews, isn't the next sliced bread.

While I was employed at FratPost, late staff members had to stand on a table and sing "The Its Bitsy Spider", aloud for everyone to hear. your child's school bus arrived late, high traffic in the capital of the second largest state in the United States) be prepared to be embarrassed in front of the entire office. If you're late, no matter the reason (i.e. ![]() I made sure to have a hearty breakfast before going into work to be sure I could function throughout the day with a high-chance my lunch/break would be cut SHORT. Your lunchtime or break could be cut short for a ever-so-frequent meeting. First, you WILL be making non-stop calls from 8:30a - 5:30a. Yet, once "training" is over, and they throw you to the wolves to harass small businesses over the phone, people soon learn they were served hot garbage. Fratpost, as others have mentioned, spoon feeds their new employees on how easy it is to make lots and lots money!! You begin to feel all warm inside as they take you to one of the many gentrified bars of Austin for drinks on the house. After graduating college, I moved out-of-state to work at this frat house, which from this moment on will be known as FRATpost. ![]() I worked at Signpost and I'm not gonna lie It brings sweet sweet joy to my heart when a flush of REAL reviews begin to show up on their Glassdoor account )
