Pros

Upbeat culture, great co-workers - the people and energy in the company was great!

Cons

If you’re looking for an account executive role, this is not what they advertise it to be. This is not your typical account executive job. You will be working 9+ hours a day, Monday thru Saturday, even during holidays. You come into the office for a training meeting and then go out to different locations going up to complete strangers asking them to donate/sign up for services. I should also mention these locations will be outdoors, rain or shine - not the best working environment when you are running after people to talk to you. Even when you move up within the company, you are still training new employees which get in the way of you earning commission. The pay is also very low. If you don’t mind approaching 100+ strangers on the street every day, then this may work for you.

Pros

You learn how to be a pushy salesman. You can learn this at any AE role over the phone, but a month of cold approaching strangers on the street can boost anybody's confidence/social anxiety.

Cons

Everything else. This is multi-level marketing. If you try to speak to any of the scam artists like a human being and ask for straightforward answers, they will either avoid the question, beat around the bush or straight up gaslight you into believing you're lazy/crazy for questioning their shady company structure. You will be signed under a 1099 and receive zero benefits and work for barely minimum wage for 60-80 hour weeks in the winter, all while they shove dogshit down your throat about "owning your own company" and all the other pyramid scheme mumbo jumbo they get fed everyday by the people at the top. Oh, and by the way, atmosphere and morning meetings? Have fun attempting to be "positive" and "excited" about your team leaders drawing pyramids and their systems on a whiteboard at 8:30 in the morning. Avoid like the plague. The "CEO" is a 20 something year old kid who got sucked into this pyramid scheme. Complete sociopath with no real work experience outside of this cult.
