Pros

Ability to lose your belly.

Cons

No schedule flexibility, every day you work. Meat Grinder Sales type of job - employees come and go quickly. Constant interviews are held to find more candidates willing to do door to door sales. Focused too much on repetitive marketing strategies. The company is ran by young individuals who think they are bigger than the world and management is driven my money. The money are made from sales people who are underpaid. No one wants a sales person at the door! Annoy homeowners by knocking on No Soliciting doors. This annoys homeowners who file complaints to the company and it's your fault, not the company. I left the job before I picked up my first paycheck, just shows you how long you have to wait until you get paid. Please carefully read the job contract and if you are intelligent then you will not sign it. Feels like high school. For instance, when you develop good relationship with a co worker, one in particular said the most inappropriate statement anyone has said to me at work and the manager seemed fine with it. Sweat shop training office. Looks like a third world country office. Nothing like the website's glamour. You will not enjoy wearing a suit at hot humid temperatures in a non ventilated office. If someone tell you that you will make xyz in a week, divide it by two. Don't ever agree with anyone who tells you what you will make. This is commission driven and your hard work does not pay off when you don't make sales. I had to throw away three pairs of running shoes in short week and half from working so much in the heat. Boss does not allow you to sweat on the job when you spend 6 hours on the sun.

Pros

Lux Solutions is a great way to get into the marketing world! It is conveniently located a short walk away from the Spring Hill metro station in McLean/Tyson's Corner, Virginia. It is a very young, energetic environment that accepts employees of all types of employment backgrounds. There are many promotions and raises to strive for making each days work meaningful to my career. The manager/CEO, Ajeet Ryatt, is a very honest and trustworthy person which is extremely important to me personally. I found that when it comes to conducting business, Lux Solutions stands apart from the competition because of their honest approach, professional mannerisms and hard-working staff. I plan to stay employed here for as long as I am able to.

Cons

I don't have a lot of bad things to say about Lux Solutions. It is a high-traffic area. There is not a lot of commercial businesses around the office.

Pros

I have really enjoyed my time so far at Lux! Not only are the people great to work with, but they also allow plenty of room to grow my career and work my way up. Since the company is rapidly growing, they are always bringing on new team members to train. I can see a future here with Lux as they expand around the DMV area. The team members are fun and always thinking of new challenges to help us reach our full potential. We work together to ensure one another's success. Fun, great coworkers, bonuses, base pay, challenging, growth opportunities.

Cons

Can't think of any thing.
