Pros

There is no possible pros as they lied about the work and pay involved

Cons

They lie to you saying you get a base level salary and that their 'A marketing agency with a difference' because its not just commission based pay. However that is a lie and from the third week onwards it is only commission based pay. No one ever admitted to this until I questioned one of the Junior Partners about this and he admitted the base level pay only applies to the first 2 weeks. This company is under Berkeley Executives which is all across the UK and originates in USA. They will promise you that in a year you will be very wealthy and have no financial worries but that is just their way of manipulating working class people to fall into their pyramid scheme. They will send you out to distant towns and villages, you must pay for the public transport and food. They then have you spend 8 hours a day walking round housing and council estates trying to sell BT. Another thing that makes this scam so insidious is that their in business with BT which adds an air of legitimacy to their business. I would sometimes spend 2 hours travelling there and 2 hours travelling back from the towns and 8 hours going door to door trying to sell BT. This means I could be out the house from 8AM to 8/9PM so there is absolutely no work life balance.

Pros

Employees are focused Everyone that works here has a positive outlook on things and gives lots of support Full training Good networking opportunities A lot of diversity Working here has made me have second thoughts about the way I live my life. I've become more organized, punctual, personable, and open to new things.

Cons

In my opinion, there really aren't any cons about the company that are noteworthy enough to include in this. Some people might not like the fact that you get out of it what you put into it, but that's part of what made me better.

Pros

Opportunity to travel. I've been able to work in many places throughout the US and want to go even further when we expand internationally. No Stagnation, an abundance of growth opportunities. There's never a dull moment. It's a fast paced environment full of hard working individuals looking to achieve their goals. The working environment is extraordinarily diverse. I love that we don't have a particular type of person that fits in-- everyone can.

Cons

The challenges are that you have to really put in the effort to succeed. You cannot take any shortcuts and have a day of laziness.
