Pros
They have someone that does a FANTASTIC job patrolling Glassdoor and writing faux good reviews to balance out all of the actual reviews by other employees who feel abused by their methods. Really great, honest work.
Cons
We are taken advantage of by management, all of our leads are jello while those above us take any decent ones, we are under-compensated, and frankly, we are instructed to take advantage of our customers in order to get paid.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Part of human nature is never to accept responsibility of our failures. it's not our fault, that is why we call ourselves humans. The reality of it is we point our finger at everyone else other than ourselves. We blame others around us, we blame our workplace, we even blame the country or city we are born it. The bottom line is, we need to look at ourselves. The only reason why we fail at something is because we didn't work hard enough, we didn't take direction, we didn't apply ourselves. We can only blame ourselves for failure. This is what drives me, I need people to fail. Without this, there would be no opportunity and there would be no money to made, because everyone would do it. If you anyone reading this review has any questions or would like clarification, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Howard Morgan

This is a very fun place to work, there are many fun and nice people here, and you do feel like one big happy family, every afternoon at 12:30 there is a meeting where the CEO goes up on stage and sings and dances to get everyone motivated for the rest of the day. Managers are always willing to help and so are the people around you, everyone is very supportive. And the owner of the company does offer yoga and exercise classes 2 nights a week for free which is pretty nice.
Cons
It is FULL commission, and calling business' to get advertised on top of a pizza box (or inside a bag if you're trying to sell to a place like say Harvey's or Mary Brown's) is difficult, especially since a lot of people don't want to be advertised on a pizza box, and you will get hung up on or sworn at a lot... there are weeks where you will make $0 or if you do make a salary it won'tr be very much (you get 40% commission your first week, 35% your second and 30% from then on), and sometimes you get places in the God forsaken middle of no where trying to sell on a pizza place that even the residents didn't know existed. It can be a very frustrating and stressful job.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear that you appreciated our additional benefits and company values. You are right, there is a lot of support from all managers, and even the CEO & COO themselves are happy to sit with individuals and teach/ guide them. We are sorry that you felt such a struggle. We have over a 70% renewal rate, even in the "toughest territory" clients still love the program and sign up with us. We do offer a higher commission rate, which most of our reps take advantage of, additional pay structures are to be discussed and determined with our hiring manager. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
