Pros
The managers of this organization is motivated to dominate the industry. During the virtual training, they emphasize the importance to memorize their Quill pitch sales verbatim (which would be good for employees with no sales experience). They also incorporate the 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey (Watching videos) so you can learn how to manage your stress. The online training is 2 weeks long along with 1 week of field work. They expect you to make an average of 10 sales per week to promote from Junior Account Manager (3-5weeks) to Senior Account Manager (3-6+ months). You can expect to talk to 50 businesses a day ( door to door) and your goal is to open an account for 2+ businesses. They are partnered with a warehouse based office supply company , and your job is to talk to businesses (within your assigned territory) to open an account for quill, so businesses can receive 10% discounts on their ongoing office supplies. I think this is a good place to start working if you have no sales experience, and you are looking for a competition driven environment. They have weekly hang outs and provides opportunities to form connection with other employees. Most of their employees are in their early 20s, and are about to or have just finished their undergrad. Salary is mostly based on commission.
Cons
Management do not have proper educational background relating to business and have novice level experience. Heavily focused on numbers and competition. Very similar to multi-level marketing organizational structure.
