      Not for people looking for a legitimate and long lasting career

      Pros

      Employees are friendly and enthusiastic Young, good looking team Excellent sales technique training Good for a summer job or for anyone without pressing money concerns who wants to learn a new skill No degree requirements or prior experience necessary Promise of advancement

      Cons

      Door to door sales Long hours, up to twelve hours a day Gas, food, and other travel expenses are not compensated 100% commission Extreme miles/wear on your car are legitimate concerns Time spent in the office for morning meetings is not paid "Optional" crew nights and team nights twice weekly often take place in bars, and alcohol consumption with team members is a regular and encouraged part of time spent outside of work Process (vs. promise, see above) of advancement is next to impossible, and success occurs mainly due to favoritism by managers and sheer luck in recruiting Standards for advancement rely exclusively on recruitment for the company "Meetings" are repetitive and designed to keep recruits around for as long as possible It's a numbers game; as soon as you leave, there is another fresh recruit ready to replace you Language used by managers in interviews, and even after you are hired, is vague and designed to keep the promise of advancement alive During my time at the company, I didn't meet a single employee (besides the manager) for whom money was not an issue at some point

      Dear Reviewer, Thank you so much for your kind words about our team. I am so sorry to hear about your negative perception of our company. I really wish you had been comfortable enough to express these feelings to me one on one so we could have maybe reached a middle ground. It's a shame to have our integrity questioned on a public forum, especially since we strive to be extremely transparent in our interviewing process. As you know, the second interview is a full day job observation. So, before an individual is even offered a position with our company he has the opportunity to see the exact position he is applying for. It is curious to us that you felt deceived about the position's responsibilities after a 7-hour day of observation. We realize that our corporate structure is not for everyone, but we can assure you that the opportunity to move into a management role within our company is, indeed, possible. Four individuals over a 3 year timespan have already done so successfully. If you would ever like to discuss your experience in person (always my preference!), I would love the chance to speak with you! Just ask to speak with Hannah and we can schedule some time to chat. Best of luck in your future endeavors! Sincerely, South Inc Nashville Management Team

      Dear Reviewer, Thank you so much for your compliment on our company culture and fun atmosphere. We work to promote a positive work environment and are glad you experienced just that! We are sorry to hear that the lead generated sales we perform on behalf of our client, AT&T, was considered a con during your time with us, but want you to know management offers multiple pay structures during one's time in our Management Training Program. Please feel free to reach the office and ask specifically for Hannah if you have any questions regarding compensation whatsoever! Sincerely, South Inc Nashville Management Team

      Scam

      Pros

      This is a door to door sales job.

      Cons

      They are very deceptive when posting about job opportunities to get candidates to apply. Once there for an interview you walk around and sell DirectTV door to door. Would not recommend to anyone.

      Hey, Reviewer! While we appreciate the feedback, you were not hired and are not a current employee at South Inc. Allow us to share how we know this to be true- DirecTV(which you spelled wrong) is not our client. We also do not do residential sales. If you are interested in that I can find a company in Nashville to help you with your pursuits! Our interview process includes a "shadowing" which allows a prospective team member the opportunity to shadow an existing team member. NO ONE in our company is hired without the knowledge of what their day to day job responsibilities look like. We encourage you to please move your review to the rightful category it belongs to. Thank you and best of luck in your job search. Sincerely, South Inc Management Team
