Pros
Are there any? Maybe the toted "huge salaries", if you happen to be a natural at sales.
Cons
I was lied to about it not being a sales job, not having to do cold calling, and having a base salary. None of that happened!! Face it, you will work for free for probably the first month or two and after that, 50% of your time you might as well be working for free due to time driving, calling, etc. Then after I was hired, I heard the managers talking about new applicants as if they wanted to lie to candidates in order to sugar coat the realities. Not a job for you if you need a personal life, are going to school, have a family, or need a steady, reliable income. Having to set your own appointments, use your own phone and care, and basically devote your life to the job. There is no time off. Get a job with a real company who has an office and phone lines. Customers call the "office", don't even get as much as a recording or an answering machine, real confidence-boosting. And I'm sorry, but they just don't have the set-up or technology to provide the type of customer service people expect/deserve in the 21st century. Best thing I did was quitting the job and getting my life back. I am an extremely hard-working, dedicated employee, this was NOT for me! Apparently I am not motivated (enough) by money. And even though this company has been around for a long time, I don't have much optimism for a company with such high turnover.
