Pros

there aren't any pro's to this

Cons

You could earn more working at a fast food chain. Base pay is $10-$12 per hour. Commission is very, very low. They are so petty they will dock your commission any way they can. Management is a clique of very underqualified 20 somethings, most of which have only worked for this same company. Supervisors rarely know the answers and disappear when there's an escalated call. Upper management is out of touch with the industry and inept at human resource management. Employees have to be drug tested prior to employment but several supervisors smell like weed or alcohol on the job. The company does not hire enough staff to adequately cover the queue but blames the staff for not keeping the queue down. Prepare to be improperly micromanaged. Rather than empowering staff or offering them proper support, they will dock your pay, force you to answer for every second of your day to a bunch of idiots on an instant messenger type app. This includes telling them if you have to go to the bathroom (which is timed!). Morale is low.

Pros

I really think the best thing about this place is the people I got to interact with on a daily basis. They are like family to me. Even though I don't work there anymore, I still communicate with many of them on an almost daily basis. Some managers are really helpful, not all of them.. One of them really helped coach me to succeed there and the skills they taught me bleed over to my new job. I had a manager who helped me overcome objections, and helped me build my skill set into what it is today. My supervisor was down to earth and understood what it took to help me.

Cons

The culture changed over the period of time I was there. When I first got hired on it was fun and semi-relaxed environment. But my last year of working there I would pull up and dread getting out of the car and walking into that place. It became the same thing every day...day after day. It seems like the only people getting recognition are the ones who are close friends with management; I thought management wasn't supposed to play favorites. I know everyone in upper management has their own personal agendas that override the voice of any regular rep or supervisor, I see people getting fired left and right for stupid things that others get away with constantly. Were not doing good enough? You can't expect amazing performance when you don't give us the tools we need to succeed. The compensation is okay, could be better. Its high stress and micromanaging is a big thing.

Pros

Constant contests and such for the sales team. Vending machines are kept stocked, and prices are reasonable. Not much else.

Cons

Major lack of quality communication, the training program is a joke, they have no formal trainer either. The leads are not always as “warm” as they tell you during the interview and training, the entire interview process they tel you one thing, and then when it comes time to set schedule, and start your actual working life there, they complete change it. Demanding you work a schedule you were not told about, and would never have agreed to in the first place. (2pm-11pm including weekends, when you have availability for Monday - Friday the day shift during the interview process) The training class had so many questions about policies, product, and procedures, that after 3 weeks of classroom training, they still were having problems speaking to customers about the products and had to constantly get a manager to come over and assist them, being told something completely new and different from what was taught during the training. Too many people running around with their own agendas and opinions, not enough structure. Dishonest business practices on the contract side of things, just check BBB or other sites with consumer reviews, and you will see the vast amount of anger and distrust of the community. F The CEO is a fraud, he claims to have an “open door policy” but finds ways to avoid talking to you, claiming he has a busy schedule, but is then seen just walking around the sales floor, playing games of catch and such while carrying a rowboat oar. Says all this stuff during the interview, and then once you agree, goes back on what he said, and completely disconnects from you in order to try and avoid the problems caused by his dishonesty. This place is extremely dishonest, and they get away with it because they don’t have a Human Resources department. “Payroll takes care of everything, but there isn’t a Human Resources person to talk to, so just let them know instead.”
