Pros

Most of the people there are very nice.

Cons

All it is is door to door sales. That's it. Then once you advance enough, you still do the sales but start to "grow your team" by interviewing so the end result is opening up your own office that will do the exact same thing. If you don't want to open your own business doing door to door sales, do not take this job. They also have a system in place that is supposed to produce 2-3 apps a day... never had it happen. Saw it one day while I was training but then no apps after that. The atmosphere in the office is supposed to be fun but everyone is yelling and chanting... feels like a dumb summer camp. Apparently it builds morale, but I just found it immature and incredibly annoying. Personally, I feel there are much more stable, better (in general and in pay) jobs out here.

Thank you for the compliment. I agree the people are very nice. I’m sorry for the experience you had with our company. If all you thought was that we were simply a door to door sales company then we let you down. Sales are a big part of our business just like any other company. Every business thrives from its sales; doctors with patients, lawyers with cases and our business with consumers. We promote entrepreneurship. We teach people leadership skills by managing and developing a small team or as you would say “grow a team.” We do not water our people and hope they grow, we fill them with business fundamentals, sales savvy and once they do complete the training, complete upper management skills. As for the system and the “2-3 apps a day”, it is simply an average. If anything was 100% then we’d have found the magic formula and would be millionaires. Unfortunately that is not the case. Lastly, our atmosphere; it is not for everyone. We are a loud group who really gets the energy going. We stray away from the mundane business setting where no one knows each other...which we find boring. We promote team work and camaraderie. Working hard and playing hard is what we do. If fun and exciting isn’t for you I hope you have found a more mellow career to suit your taste. Thank you for the review.

Pros

Definitely not the place for lazy people looking for handouts Control your own paycheck. Performance based -every company has a basis of sales so you have to know how to do it also -opportunity comes from other avenus as well (teaching others/learning itself) energetic office keeps the blood pumping totally different style so it keeps it interesting

Cons

Hours are a little longer but i would probably just waste on tv or sleeping

Pros

This company has so much room for one to grow into. Don't expect the opportunity to be handed to you or for it to happen over night though. Like anything else you have to work hard for what you want. I think the best thing about the company is the managers open door policies. It doesn't matter what the situation is Tri is always there to listen for you. Whether it is tough love or not, he is there for your best interest. If you aren't motivated though to get off your butt and do something which may include a lot of walking, this job def isn't for you! Getting into shape def is a bonus though.

Cons

One con I would say is that the hours are a bit long. Again if you are a couch potato, this isn't the place for you.
