Pros

It is an easy job to get. For me, it allowed me to say to my folks that i had a job nailed down and could move out. But thats literally the only positive.

Cons

Everything -Making 10/hour (seriously... you can make more at walmart right now and you dont' have to cold approach someone working at walmart) -Ridiculous, inconsistent hours after being promised full time. Like you wanna give me 10 an hour and then screw me on the hours too? wow! -The morning meetings, my god, my high school home room teacher did not bring so much fake energy to the beginning of the day. A mixture of like a pre school teacher trying to wake you up and the cocaine guy from wolf of wall street. And it has so little relation to what you actually do. -Some coworkers are cool. But the problem is that neither of you two will have any money to go out and do anything fun if you do manage to make friends. -flagging people down in costco who are simply trying to buy a rotisserie chicken, theres no other way to say this, is degrading as hell. I'd literally rather be the sign spinning guy outisde the car dealership, at least i don't have to go 1v1 on people in that situation. And you camp out there all week they won't even give you the employee food discounts or anything or let us use their break room... come on Kinsey, at least do better there.

Pros

-very positive and friendly environment -energetic and upbeat place to work

Cons

-there are people who have worked their for years who still haven't reached the title of "market manager", upon hiring they tell you that it only takes 6 months to reach this status -they amp the job up and make it sound totally different than what you're actually doing -they fail to tell you in the interview that you're being hired to sell random, silly products at Costco and Sam's Club -I was highly disappointed and felt tricked after starting the job -There's no reason that you need to interview candidates 3-4 times for this sort of job -Everyone takes this job WAY more serious than it actually is -LOL this place is a joke.

Pros

I mean it's a job.

Cons

The KC Standard is formerly known as Excel Management. They are a Multi-Level Marketing Company that sell couches, skin care and other random things in Costco and Sams Club. I am assuming they decided to rebrand because of their horrid reviews and reputation. You can still see their old Glassdoor reviews under their former name "Excel Management". I highly advise you do.
