Pros

Coworkers were relatively nice and supportive.

Cons

Frat like corporate culture. Employees are promoted based on numbers and often struggle with new roles due to lack of experience. Moral judgements are made on people based on how their month is going numbers-wise. High turnover. Claim to be a Christian company, but many employees actually mock the company's motto of "God, People, Money." If you have a bad month regardless of what causes it, they start questioning your work ethic. Use sly wording in job listings to get people interested, but wait until the last minute to say that it's door-to-door marketing. Most successful company members are white, except for their few tokens (In the North part of the company at least). Cult-like culture. Questioning management can cause you to lose work relationships. For lack of a better term, it's basically a rat race. Manipulate people's "why's" to get them to bring in more money for the company, but in reality when push comes to shove, everyone is simply a number. During my interview I was told that my work/life balance would be great. I ended up working the 34-38 hours promised, but was not made aware of the ever changing work hours and the long commutes to neighborhoods with no gas reimbursement. I understand that college is not for everyone, but many employees including management mock college student employees and overtly make the claim that college is a waste of time and money.

Pros

Great people, caring upper management, fun meetings, good coworkers, great work environment, uncapped commission potential, base salary, full health, dental, vision, variety of optional insurances, 401k with large company match, actually helping people save money, helping the planet.

Cons

Inter-department communication, slow company-wide decision making, bad apples have forced upper management to make decisions that feel like tight leash on entry level reps.

Pros

There used to be more positive to working here but under the new CEO they have taken everything away from their long standing employees.

Cons

One of the biggest issues is pay. Employees who have been here for years who know the job inside and out are often making the same as (or less than) brand new hires who are just coming in with little to no experience. It’s frustrating and honestly pretty discouraging when your time, effort, and knowledge don’t seem to be valued. It also feels like the teams doing the bulk of the day-to-day work and making sure everything runs smoothly aren’t compensated fairly for the workload they carry. Raises and improvements to benefits are limited, even for those who consistently go above and beyond. At the same time, there’s a clear difference in how departments are treated. Sales teams are rewarded with trips, events, and strong financial incentives, while internal teams, who play a huge role in actually driving success for this company, don’t see the same level of recognition or pay. It creates a pretty big disconnect. What makes it harder is that the company promotes a very positive, upbeat culture, but that doesn’t always match the reality employees experience day to day. Over time, this discourages a lot of employees from wanting to remain here.
