Pros
Pay is good Decent benefits (but at least in my area it was tricky finding drs that accept my insurance) Good job if you like being in sales without worrying about relying on commissions
Cons
Like the title says, this is a sales job. If I would have know that before I started I wouldn’t have accepted/applied for the job. The leads are plentiful but a majority of the leads are not good, and a good portion of them think that the call is for a job (and not for school). Regardless of whether they want to go to school or not you are expected to push the idea of going to school to them. Also even if they are interested in going to school you are expected to push one of the school’s limited programs, even if you know it probably will not ultimately help them with their desired career (like if someone wants to get into engineering push IT program, if someone wants to be a doctor…push our general medical associates degree program, if you are not sure of the closest fit then push for business). Sure if they kept saying no you can drop the subject, but I doesn’t feel great to push it in the first place. Once you do get a student you are expected to call them every other day or every few days even if you don’t need anything else from them. And if they didn’t complete something yet you are expected to call them at least once (preferably twice) a day until they complete that task. Each month you are required to get so many students, and at times it could be very difficult. And when you don’t hit your goal or might not (depending on your manager) they will start to micromanage you. You also can get in trouble for making a mistake when reading info to the student that has to be read word for word. Like if you mistakenly miss a word (like “the”) you can get an infraction even if you go back and read it again with the word you missed.
