Pros

Unlimited Commission and Bonuses. Felons have been occasionally hired here, despite company policy.

Cons

-Inconsistent policies and expectations, inconsistent disciplinary procedures and hiring/firing practices. Top producers are allowed to not follow procedures that new employees are expected to follow. Hostile behavior, violation of policy, attendance, prospecting expectations, inconsistent paperwork is allowed from top producers. (Even if there is a write-up, nothing is ever done for repeated behavior with top producers as they are rarely terminated.) -Have hired felons in sales, unbeknownst to supervising managers; although, company policy states otherwise. (No system of checks and balances put into place to assure that those felons did not behave badly, which a couple have.) -Although hourly expectations are defined in guidelines, the culture is that you work "above and beyond" reasonable hours. Difficult to reasonably sustain a social life. -Most locations have a tense, stressful work environment once the honeymoon period is over, IF there is a honeymoon period. Some employees/managers have been hospitalized or on sick leave due to stress related issues.

None!!!! None!!! None!!! None!!! None!!!

Cons

This company will always be hiring, because they have no intention of keeping staff! Very short training period one week, with one week force to call people out of the telephone book to get them to purchase a burial plot. A low wage of 300.00 per week is offered during the training period Promise of high commission...then they do everything possible to not give it to you. Managers steal commissions from sales reps.... Slavery would be the best way to descirbe this job I was expected to come to work and not get paid any money but I was required to work over 40 hrs... When my manager's boss found out this was corrected but my direct manager does this to all new employees. You are expected to work 6 to 7 days a weeking depending on your work location After your first two weeks of little to no training you are expected to sell at top levels with little product knowledge...product knowledge was not part of the training. Few empyloyees with more than two years of work history! Most quit or are fired within the first three months The basic mind set ,,,,, hire a lot of people maybe one out of a thousand will work out for a short period of time
