Pros

Ability to make a decent living once you get going. Good incentives.

Cons

Was told I wouldn't have to cold call, just present. Once I was hired I was told to make 50 cold calls a day, then 100, then 200... Manager told me he wanted to help me set accounts up, but only ever showed me himself signing up clients at already existing accounts. After about 1000 cold calls I finally got somebody to agree to meet with me, only both managers had already given up on me at that point. They wouldn't adjust their schedules and so my meeting went nowhere. Expected me to be first to show up and last to leave although I told them in my interview that sharing a car with my wife I would have to show up after I dropped her off and leave to pick her up, which they didn't mind when interviewing me. They made sure to enforce that I wasn't getting anywhere because I wasn't working hard enough, never taking any responsibility. That part was really frustrating for me. I had no money after my first month and that didn't bother them. Bothered me because I had bills and everything they told me in the interview ended up being a lie.

Pros

You get to build your own schedule, no holidays or weekends. Lots of team building and good culture. You really can make your income what you want it to be it is all based on your work ethic which is cool if you're motivated to do it

Cons

This is sales and consulting. You really need to differentiate yourself from others and market yourself well. It's very challenging but also rewarding at the same time so it's a double edged sword

Pros

None that I can think of, unless you’re willing to be dirt poor for months. Over the three months I was there I made $320. You see that correctly. I couldn’t afford my rent, nor did upper management care.

Cons

Expectations far too high for an entry level position. There is an expectation that you will score appointments via phone calls and walk and knocks, which is hard to do in a heavily mined area. The product is great, but management in L.O. is a whip with a sugar coating.
