Having worked for a debt "negotiation" company that was shut down by FTC/police raid a couple months after I quit because I could smell what was going on and didn't like it...

What's your ratio of employees who engage in sales activities to your employees who deal exclusively with lenders?

^(it was one of the key metrics that clued me in that everything wasn't quite alright, when the sales force grew and grew and grew, but the "negotiation team" kept shrinking)

Firstly, sorry to hear about your experience. That sounds really difficult but glad you were able to quit beforehand.

Personally, we had about 50% vs 50% in terms of onboarding and negotiation. I'm curious about what the ratio was at your firm?
