Pros

You'll appreciate your next job even more.

Cons

All the negative reviews are 100% true, this company is nothing more than a pyramid scheme. They give you fancy titles to make the job seem more important than what it really is. But in all actuality they give you this fancy title of account manager so that you can work more than 40 hours a week without having to be paid overtime. They tell you that all your gas and meals will be reimbursed to you when you do your taxes, but in all actuality those type of expenses go under deductions in your taxes. You'll most likely never see that money back again. If you express any type of emotion fatigue or an opposing opinion to what the executive says they will begin to force you out. Nothing is consistent at this workplace, employees come and go some only staying for a few days or less. They hype you up so that when you're driving more than 100 miles a day, doing door-to-door sales, and walking for more than 10 hours a day you'll believe it is for a good cause. They put a daily quota on everything that you're supposed to sell, and if you don't make that daily quota they begin to force you out. They will hire anybody, even individuals with a criminal history who later on was arrested for stealing credit card information. Like most people joining this company, I wanted to believe in everything they said. I wanted to create a successful life for myself and make money. I worked there for three months before realizing that I was not having a healthy work life balance. The bottom line is you can find a better job that pays more and really cares about you as an employee.

Pros

This company encourages reaching your full potential. I have had many jobs, even jobs that I thought were careers, but none felt like how I feel when I show up for work here. Everyday, I learn how to be better than who I was yesterday. I learn skills that not only help me in my professional life, but translate into my personal life. I have become stronger, mentally and emotionally, not to mention more confident and secure with my abilities. I love the training, my co-workers, and the management staff is amazing. Definitely blessed to be a part of this family.

Cons

You will be tested, mentally, emotionally, and professionally. Management does not settle for anything less than 100% effort. If you are not reaching your maximum potential, management will make your life difficult. If you are not in a space to take it to the next level, this position is not for you.

Pros

You're coworkers will be the best part of this job.

Cons

When they call you to set up an interview they read from a script. No matter your education level or degrees obtained, they say the same thing to everyone. They will sell you on a position that suits what you want but are actually interviewing you for a door-to-door sales position, not business to business. They have you "shadow" an "account holder" after one of your multiple interviews. Basically you follow another sales person to a location (driving your own car, wasting your own gas) and watch as they attempt to get people in the street to buy make up. While in the field they ask if you could see yourself doing this job. You say yes and you are told to return to the office for another interview and offered a position. If you say no, they send you home. They pay next to nothing because your salary is commission based. Overall, they lie to you from the moment they meet you. Just do yourself a favor and quit while you're ahead.
