Pros

If you like entering businesses uninvited and pestering people until they either push you out the door or sign up for Verizon just to see you go (and then later cancel the services so you don't get the sale) then this job is probably right for you!!! If you like working hard 40 hours a week and then getting a $100 pay check at the end of it then this job is probably right for you!!!

Cons

I noticed that management made a desperate attempt to divert readers away from the negative comments on here. It's pretty obvious that the reviews came from the owner not actual employees. They mention that this job is not for you in you aren't performance oriented or driven by competition. I was told on a daily basis that I was doing a great job and would go far in the business, so performance was definitely not the reason I left. I left because I simply could not stomach lying to innocent business owners on a daily basis just so that I could make a sale. The boss will literally tell you to say anything you can to get businesses to sign up for Verizon services. Integrity and ethics are not in practice at this company. Yes, you do get a chance to have a shadow day but they make sure that whoever takes you out on the interview will already have a sale set up so that it appears simple to make a sale and make good money. What they won't tell you is that there is no guarantee of you actually getting paid for that sale, that this job is 100% commissioned and there is no base salary, no benefits, and no mileage reimbursement. Take note of how many miles away VA beach is when you go out for your interview and imagine doing that every single day without compensation. It is a joke and it's no wonder management is making a desperate attempt to highlight the "pros" of this business-which is really just "you have a chance to make a ton of money if you completely sell yourself out."

Pros

There are ZERO pros to this place. Other than to learn what a really horrific scam of a business is like.

Cons

The other bad reviews on here said it all. No need to repeat. The good reviews are lies from the manager. The name of this business has changed at least 3 times since I stopped working there a year ago. One of the many ways they attempt to cover up their horrible reputation and trick people into working there. I honestly do not understand how this place is allowed to be called a business. In the 5 months I was employed there I kept a list of over 40 employees that came in and quit... That should tell you something. You will LOSE money by working here.

Pros

None that I can think of, honestly. If I could put zero starts, I would.

Cons

Management lies A LOT to interviewees and new hires. For example that we don't do d2d sales; we have a lead system we use. We did get SOME leads, but yes, this is a door to door sales job. you spend 99.9% of your time going to random businesses getting yelled at, cursed at, ect. by strangers. They have all these manipulative strategies to keep new hires around long enough that they will stay; then, when you're promoted to a leader, you're taught all this crap and realize its all BS. The boss is a cheesy liar. He will literally look you in the face and lie. He has his favorites and he will call them with guaranteed sales. He will give one person's commission to another (main reason I left!). It was completely unethical. And there is no chance of having a work/life balance here. The boss constantly talked about how we couldn't come back to the office until we made a sale. I mean, if its 10PM and you haven't made a sale, get over, go home.
