Pros

A somewhat positive but toxic work environment.

Borderline pyramid scheme. Long hours with no base rate or residuals.

Reviewer, While we understand that our company is not the best fit for everyone, we are unsure how we are a "borderline pyramid scheme." Pyramid schemes take money from their team members while we invest in our people. As a company that has been thriving in the Nashville community since 2013, we are dedicated to helping others grow and excel professionally. From your feedback, it's evident that our company wasn't the best fit for you and your skillsets. Again, this is understandable. We hope the skills you picked up while with us help you in all of your future endeavors. Best of luck! 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
