Pros
Pros: - Great first job for fresh grads for the experience and getting into the working world for 1-2 years before moving onto a new opportunity - Working with people your age, easy to make lifelong friends, socialize, and network. It helps for a smooth transition into your career from college having that. The people are why you enjoy working there. - Their training, exposure, expectations and constant feedback will challenge you in a way that will make you mature into the working world quickly, both growing your soft skills and sharpening your professionalism, which will prepare you for any roles beyond this. It pushes you and teaches you invaluable lessons that you'll use for the rest of your career. Also instills a strong work ethic in you. - Stability, they do not fire often. If you're struggling or something isn't working management will step in to support you if you are willing to give it your all. - Once promoted, pay gets much better with commission.
Cons
Cons: - Exceeding production metrics means everything, and working extra hours to hit them is the unspoken expectation. - Commission is fast and fleeting, the "spread roller coaster". Some of the uncontrollables can effect your commission instantly. - Political, and Work life bleeds into personal life - When you're on PTO expect to still be "available", including on sick days. When taking sick days, you are still expected to hit all numbers for the week. - Benefits are not good
