- ALL commission, no base rate
-You will be expected/publicly guilt tripped into working 60-70 hours every week.
- If you are talented AND lucky you can expect to occasionally break the $3000 mark in sales for the week. This amounts to $800 for yourself which means for a 60hr week you are earning ~$13 an hour (most weeks will be less, most people never reach 3000)
- There is no sick leave, holiday leave, super-contributions, overtime rates, weekend rates. This stems from the fact you are only an 'independent contractor' which they try to sell to you as a benefit...Don't fall for the 'you're running your own business' mantra...It's a way for them to cut down on every possible overhead while they squeeze as much money out of you as they can.
- No compensation for travel. You will on average spend 2-3 hours daily travelling between your home, the office and your allocated site. For all the drivers at the office, petrol was costing $100+ a week.
- All the positivity is forced. Negative or realistic talk is strictly forbidden and is just a ruse to drag new recruits into the spiral. All the happy attitude and love bombing drops once you become a leader and see all the psychological ploys that are being engaged just to keep people in the cult..I mean job....
- You feel like a professional beggar having to approach and pester people and guilt trip them from the street to give money to a cause. I later learned that only 4% of the money I raised through the special Olympics gift voucher program actually went to the cause.
- All the positive reviews are from people who are in management positions who benefit from the pyramid scheme, where there is hardly any room to expand. They just want to make money of you. Don't listen to them, crunch the numbers and think of your life goals. Selling gift vouchers and raffle tickets by manipulating and pestering the public should not be up there.
- Even if you make it to team leadership or AO (very rare), it can crumble in an instant if members of your team quit and you no longer fulfil the criteria, I've seen this happen, 2 times in the 5 months I worked there. It's a sad sight.
