Pros

None! They pay system is horrible!!!!!! They lie and say they are a marketing firm the advertises for their clients. But that's an absolute lie!!! People beware of the company!!!! I have one word to sum up Annex...,.Deception!!!!!!!! Stop telling lies and dressing up this company!!! You falsely betray Annex to be something it's not!!!! Annex is a door to door sales company that sells damn Toilet Paper to a darn Stapler and you should advertise it as such. Then employees walk door to door, all day in the burning hot sun seeking & begging for a sale from a book, which is more of a flyer. Stop the false advertisement!!! No one wants to work with a company that deceives and lies to their employees!!! The worst thing about it is that you seek out employees under false pretenses!!! Get it together!!!! Your only are wasting people's time and effort. I have only one word to sum up Annex....,Deception.... Beware people!!!!!

Pros

Customer interaction- in seeing at least 40 businesses a day you meet a lot of people. High-level sales training- their system is proven and works and you do learn a lot in that regards. Fun Environment- music and games are part of daily meetings Motivated People- b/c it is a commission based position you get a lot of young people who are excited to be the best and the competition is high Growth Opportunity- the opportunity to own your own ICL by the end of the program is initially enticing Fortune 500 Clients- no mom-and-pop sales Great Office Location- near central downtown

Cons

No benefits- despite what you are told No base pay- 100% commission No gas or cell phone compensation even though business trips are required No residual commissions from your sales- only paid on initial sale Unorganized boss- scattered ideas, plans, and broken promises Unprofessional boss- this is where the breaking point begins. You never know what to expect. Promises of bonuses and advancement are made, but are rarely, if ever followed through. High turn over - despite the growth opportunity this is a huge problem because promises are never kept, which leads to frustration in hard-working employees. Eventually it just isn't worth it anymore. No paid sick leave- despite not offering benefits you can only take sick leave if you bring in a drs note. No paid vacation- an average is based on competition of sales before the holiday, not actual averages of overall performance. So, if you have a bad week you are out of luck. Career in the hands of one person (the boss)- they say this position is merit and performance based, but unfortunately that is not the case. It is a game of the boss' favorite and while low performers are never the favorite just because you are performing doesn't mean you are set up to succeed either. Recruiting to get yourself promoted is a game of who is the favorite. Just because you get handed several interviews doesn't mean they are qualified people to build your team with. Everyone gets roped into the ideals of this company, but the longer you work there the more you realize the scales are tipped and they aren't always in your favor
