Ethos Consulting Group Reviews

That being said, Ethos kinda kicked my butt. I don’t find it productive when people rant and rave about old jobs, but if you asked would I do it again; it would be exceptionally difficult for me to say yes.The field is an unrewarding grind and I understand why many people feel burned when they leave. Few people graduate from college expecting to be doing door to door sales, you have to humble yourself. It’s possible to work 50+ hours in 6 days and make almost nothing. I hated working Saturdays, and working 10+ hours and going home empty handed was rough. My first job in sales immediately after leaving Ethos paid me 3x what I was making previously, and the myth that it takes years and years to earn six figures in the “rat race” is bs. There’s a concerted effort to control the culture that can come across as culty. I’m not sure that’s a fair characterization, but that’s the perceptive reality for many. 100% commission is very stressful and left me financially insecure. Every day I woke up knowing I had to work my butt off with no guarantee I would walk home with a cent. The people who struggle to learn sales can get steamrolled and find themselves in a deep hole. Experiences here are typically inconsistent because the way you are recruited, trained, and practice is largely framed by your leader; and what you do from there is dependent upon your own investment of time and energy. A good/bad leader will make or break the experience here. Many leaders are dishonest or obfuscate the opportunity itself during the recruiting process because they have a vested interest in you joining their team. The end result is some people really do get burned and feel resentful. I was pacing to make around $30k as one of the top performers, which in my opinion is not a viable income for someone with student debt, especially considering how much revenue I closed. Working Saturdays and weird late hours prevented me from getting a side job to mitigate how little I was making. Use your own judgement as a job seeker. Think about it before you take an offer from a “Consulting Group” just because it sounds cool. Ask yourself: “Do I want to own a 3rd party sales office, and am I seriously ready to do what it takes to get there?” I would not recommend Ethos, but that doesn’t mean it’s the wrong fit for everybody.

Its a pyramid Scheme pure and simple. You should Google the CEO "George Papalexandratos". The company used to be called Distinctive Solutions Inc.. Many complaints on the Ripoff report and all over the web. Research the company before going in and wasting your time. The CEO makes money by swindling people and just hires as many employees as possible. You are told its a salary position but guess what its not.
