Pros

Free Parking - at least at the office - not when they send you out door-to-door; which is what they'll have you do (though you won't know that until well into the interview process).

Cons

Very deceptive recruiting process. Ads suggest marketing/PR work, training in these fields, while really there's a brief session on the morning where one of the owners tells you to work harder and smile more or you won't get squat. Then you get to walk door-to-door through some of the more fun parts of Philadelphia, all types of weather, regardless of crime, etc. And the whole time they're telling you that this is just training, that as soon as you get really good at this (and it's always just around the corner) you'll have your own office and be making thousands of dollars a week. But they won't tell you this until well into your 2nd interview. Almost everyone quits because of the unnecessarily grueling working conditions, hours, poor pay (straight commission), and lack of advancement. Don't waste your time, energy, money, or life here.

Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve as a company and have been taking steps every week and every year to improve. Currently, we do not offer any door to door services so our staff only works in a retail setting which allows for everyone to feel safe and still have the free parking experience you appreciate about working here. We are very proud of the small family-like business we have. For over 2 years we have maintained a staff of 25-30 loyal employees. If you are interested in working in more of a retail setting, please contact us at 267-329-4669. If not, we understand and hope you were able to take some learning experiences here to help you with your future jobs.

Pros

I wish I could say this company had pros

Cons

They pay you $300 after two 50 hours weeks. Sending you door to door in Kensington. They lie to you about how much you will make and waste as much of your time as they can.

Not a Real Job

Pros

Nothing, Im quite sure its a Pyramid Scheme.

Cons

They lie from the momment of the interview all throughout the time you work there. Pay is 100% comission, and the average sales per person of the office was around $400 a week, so pay is very poor and inconsistent. They try to promote a cool office atmoshphere but the office culture is very innapropriate. They made us wear a suit to the office, just to change into shorts / jeans and a verizon tshirt. Its not a real job, all you do is go door to door in some of the worst neighborhoods of Philadelphia to try to sell internet/cable/phone from Verizon. They make the people who have cars take other people around the city and they dont get reimbursed for any gas money from the company. The turnover rate is very high, every day you will see people that quit and every monday new people would start. If you have a University degree I would highly recommend you to ignore SlightEdge, it will be a waste of your time.

To whom this may concern. Thank you for your response. We are always trying to take steps to improve as a company. We are not sure when you worked here because we have not represented Verizon in that capacity for over 18 months. We took feedback from current and past employees and changed our marketing and sales approach to improve and have a better work environment for everyone. With that being said, again, we have not worked in a residential capacity for over 18 months and are no longer working in the telecom field. If there is something more specific you'd like to address with management, please call our offices. We hope you're well.
