Pros

This is a door to door sales job.

Cons

They are very deceptive when posting about job opportunities to get candidates to apply. Once there for an interview you walk around and sell DirectTV door to door. Would not recommend to anyone.

Hey, Reviewer! While we appreciate the feedback, you were not hired and are not a current employee at South Inc. Allow us to share how we know this to be true- DirecTV(which you spelled wrong) is not our client. We also do not do residential sales. If you are interested in that I can find a company in Nashville to help you with your pursuits! Our interview process includes a "shadowing" which allows a prospective team member the opportunity to shadow an existing team member. NO ONE in our company is hired without the knowledge of what their day to day job responsibilities look like. We encourage you to please move your review to the rightful category it belongs to. Thank you and best of luck in your job search. Sincerely, South Inc Management Team

Pros

Hannah is almost as awesome as the opportunity. The work environment is great, promotions are merit based, and I feel like apart of Hannah's family.

Cons

Not for the person who wants to slack at work.

Pros

Start time was 11ish which was nice, but then again that means you're knocking on personal homes after dark in the middle of nowhere sometimes.

Cons

Where to begin, from day one you are told that if you "put in the work, you will be successful" but that is forced down your throat by managers who make a percentage of every sale you make, and then the managers that hired them make a percentage off that and so on and so on. Basically you're a door to door sales man/woman who goes to supposed "interested" homes to offer them AT&T/DirectTV service (I think this has changed now, but that's what it was when I was there"basically you visit 40-60 homes in a shift with that hope you find that one person who doesn't slam the door in your face, tell you to screw yourself, or get the cops called on you (which happens probably once a month). These homes have no idea who you are, SOUTH does not provide you with anything to wear that identifies you with AT&T only an IPAD so people never think its legit. They expect you to go on these "business trips" but you aren't supplied with per diem or gas money so you're coming out of pocket for basically the entire trip. Oh and driving from home to home in your territory you are not reimbursed for gas either. Just stay away, if you're even considering this. The turnover rate is incredibly high, my time there probably 6-10 people would come and go within a week or so

Hello! Very confused by this review- our hours are 8 AM- 5 PM, so if you worked at a company that starts at 11 and knocks on residental homes then you have the wrong company. We only handle business accounts from 8-5 Monday-Friday. Thanks again
