Pros

Family-like coworker environment Motivating and encouraging environment Fun, but you don't get paid to have fun.

Cons

Pay is only commission Untruthful company You spend about 3 hours in the offices playing games and basically training for the "field" (door to door sales). "Clients" or what they call leads are unaware that you will be disturbing them at their home. Even though during the interview they stated that clients are expecting our services The pitch is great and you can really get hooked by all the lies that are told. (see advice to management) By the way they tell EVERYONE that based on their leadership experience they would like to promote them as soon as possible. This company wants you more than you will ever want them. This is because they only make money when you sell for them. You only make a very small fraction of what you are able to sell. Not worth the time you put in. Working 60+ hours a week and only made a little over $100.

Pros

The environment here is great. Always fun and entertaining. They start you off from the beginning step and train you on everything you need to know in order to grow within the company. It does involve sales but the team works really hard to get you promoted as fast as possible to get you out of the sales field. I see it as a small price to pay for the big opportunity of opening your own office. Everyone is very motivating and the office is very drama free! Definitely hard to find that in a lot of places.

Cons

The only downside will be the pay during the training, but it is very merit based so it makes sense. If there was a way to get a set pay for the beginning weeks since we are still learning then it'll be great. We have people here that are able to live comfortably on their own with this job so I know finances will not be an issue once there is a better understanding of everything.

Pros

Great environment, employees are fun to work with, and very optimistic personalities.

Cons

Due to the hours required to work (50-60 Monday - Saturday), this career is not for individuals who have a family and is raising children. Time is precious. Don't work as much as this company expects you to. During the interview, minimal of the actual job duties were addressed. Nothing was mentioned about the long work hours, 100% commission, you have to pay for gas when you use your car to go to the area you're required to market in. When I say market, I mean door to door marketing! No matter the weather! You walk door to door for how ever many rounds before going to lunch. You go to the nearest fast food joint and you have to buy your lunch - if you didn't pack lunch. After lunch, you go back to the field & continue walking door to door where you had left off till 8p.m. This is 100% commission: therefore, you gotta work hard for that money! I quit my salary job to work for this company. Worked here almost 2 weeks & didn't get paid squat! I have 2 kids to support & bills to pay. If Brian relayed pay, duties, expectations, etc..., I wouldn't have quit my job & put my family in the situation I did.
