This company lies to you from the get go. Saw a job posting online that claimed $15/hr 40 hrs a week and mentioned 401k and medical benefits and never once mentioned the word sales. During the interview they were very ambiguous to me about the job and it was a complete shock to me to find out I would be doing door to door sales. I didn't mind the job but I didn't appreciate being mislead. Many people quit on the first day just because they had no idea what they were signing up for.
JOB: door to door sales or retail sales. Job postings will mention a bunch of different positions. Dont pay any attention to them. You are a sales person. You're not a marketer, customer service rep, business analyst, campaign manager, etc. You are a sales person. Also if you have a car expect to do a lot of driving. Possibly to places as far as an hour from the office
PAY: The job pays $400 a week with the chance to make more. If you make lets say $500 in commission then you make $500 for the week. Once again they are very ambiguous about this and no one understands this concept when they join. They will tell you base salary plus commission which is very misleading. Also no benefits as promised in the job posting. Company has a three week probation period before you receive your first paycheck. Took me 4 weeks to receive mine. Basically they want to hold off on paying you as long as possible because like I said many people quit when they realize what this place is really about.
Hours: You will work from 1130 to 830 monday through friday. Saturdays are mandatory once you become a corporate trainer which you will need to become if you want to stay with the company. There will be business trips and conferences that are mandatory. Also "non-mandatory" team nights on thursday. Basically forget having much of a life outside of work.
MISC: The last paycheck I received from the company was about an eighth of my promised salary. Knew a co worker who went almost 2 months without receiving a single paycheck. Manager on the Verizon campaign lied to people telling them they had a base pay from $400-$500 when in reality pay on that campaign was completely commission based.
OVERALL: Very untrustworthy people. They use business practices that I am sure would get them shut down if former employees made the effort to bring them to light. If you do decide to go forward with this company. Ask a TON of questions. Make sure everything is very clear. Also, I would ask for a copy of my contract and read it thoroughly. And don't trust people with secrets. This place is like a highschool.
