Good first job, avoid if you have any hopes of progressing in your career - Avis employé Sales Development Representative (SDR) DISCO

- No progression, they have very low standards and it's all about smashing the phones. So a good first job to get something on the CV - SDR Managers have very little work experience and don't know how to manage - No training given or help to progress in your career, just tell you to hit a certain amount of dials a day. But no training given on how to actually sell to people when you're on the phone - Competitions are geared towards the US team winning - Very high turnover of staff, they sell you on growing in the business and even if you smash it, they then turn around and say there's no progression for you - UK SDRs are treated terribly, work out of Google Docs and aren't given any data or even something as basic as a headset. All money is pumped into the US SDR function - In the last 6 months alone, they've hired over 25 SDRs (they'll say it's growth, but mostly it replacing those that have left) yet only 2 SDRs were promoted. So pretty impossible to move forward in the company and they don't encourage you to want to move up.
