Pros

The pros at working at this company are you get free monsters and PB sandwiches. You can wear whatever you want and there is a small gym to workout at. The co-workers are second to non considering there are plenty of awesome sales reps you will meet with a few who that just do not know how to conduct themselves properly.

Cons

The truth, the bad, and the ugly. The "2 hour lunch break" is really an hour and a half. There are a lot of politics and favoritism at this job and most of the smart people there see right through it. They will advise you to work on your days off to meet quotas. As a 100% commission salesman they want you working 6 days a week from 9-7. The retention rate is extremely high because people either research their way out they don't want to deal with the inconsistency. A lot of the people you will be working with could not get a job anywhere else because of there record (ex convicts). There has been a culture of stealing of personal items so be weary. They will sell you on the idea that you can make a TON of money there, which you can, but only a small percentage are making real money. The system is designed to make sure all managers are making 6 figure incomes as well as their top 3 grossers. You might think well there are all these good reviews, correct. They were all given a free T shirt or some sort of compensation for it. There are multiple sources that would agree with everything I am saying including some of the people still working there.

Ridiculous attempts at management but some highly skilled employees

Pros

Made some great contacts there, enjoyed some of the staff a lot. The sales floor was high energy (but completely inappropriate most of the time). The gym was convenient.

Cons

Where to even start? The CEO is cracked out on caffeine and doesn't seem to understand that not everyone is okay with dedicating 100% of their time to his wealth. He doesn't seem to have a grasp on reality and how to help his employees when they ask for it. He's a genius at what he does, but not at managing people. His direct subordinates are sexist men, one often saying extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable things to women at the work place. One of the others can't understand complicated concepts and you have to basically speak like a child. All of these people are 100% focused on their work and seem to have no real life outside of it. It's an unsustainable work/life balance and if you're not willing to work the way they do, they'll fire you... or if you leave, they'll berate you for learning new skills from them and taking those skills elsewhere. I witnessed tons of drug use AT the workplace, sexual harassment, and relentless gossip and negativity.

Pros

There are some bright moments at Six Pack Shortcuts. The video team is incredible with how they make chicken pie out of chicken sh!t. There are also free energy drinks, free coffee, ping pong, a basketball game and if you're lucky, a t-shirt. They do give people a second chance if you've got a record from somewhere in your past. Some of the guys need this second chance, so I'll give one shiny star for that.

Cons

The atmosphere of the environment is insufferable. The employees talk behind each other's backs and mostly about their supervisors. The management (aside from the sales team and video team) is completely dysfunctional. Your supervisor will give you one set of instructions for a task, then their supervisor will give you another set of instructions, and the CEO will give you yet a third. You will be offered a salary that will be valid after your 90 trial period, but you'll most likely be gone before then and only making 60% of what you were offered originally. The required hours are M-F 10am-7pm with a lunch from 1:30-2:45. You may be asked to work overtime without extra pay. If you arrive early (say 8:30a) you will still be required to work until 7p...if you do not, you will be told you're not a team player. Also, don't be honest about how you feel about the company, they let you go for that. They constantly ask employees to give high ratings on Glassdoor. But, read the reviews, you'll see that nearly each person has been at SPS for less than a year. People simply do not last at this company. Finally, their products do not deliver the promised level of performance. Read the label, research the ingredients, find out for yourself.
