Pros

You'll get a job. Be careful what you wish for...

Cons

The company finds people on an employment website such as Monster.com and misleads prospective new employees with a "manager in training" gimmick. The "interview" is a sales pitch to the twenty or so people that were also scheduled for the same "position", making people believe it is the opportunity of a lifetime. Too good to be true? Well, you know how that ole saying goes... It is ultimately a commission based sales job and they'll "hire" anyone with the hopes that one will stick! Good luck if you choose this for yourself. I prefer having a clear conscience. If they are not forthcoming before they "hire" people why would they be honest after hooking them?

Pros

Learn how to bait and switch people.... If you consider that a pro.

Cons

Super long hours(calling and selling), bad training, old recycled leads("Oh, I just saw someone three months ago"). If you are not selling or booking well it's; "Hey why don't you work seven days a week so you can make bonus?" Your commission depends on the poor people that you snooker. If they cancel a month later or have NSF... you get no money! BAM....and there goes your "bonus". I've actually had people give me bad checks(Didn't find out until later, though. When my money didn't come in.). You also never get trained on what the products are, you pretty much find out on your own or from a curious coworker. Then you have these child safety kits that your supposed to find a place for, most ethical day cares don't want them! Seen a lot of unethical/illegal stuff go on just to make a buck. If you don't have a conscience, this job's for you.

Pros

You gain confidence in yourself, your skills and you are provided real world experiences that build your resume and prepare you for future endeavors. I made A LOT of money my first year out of College!

Cons

There is absolutely NO work/life balance. Some may say you are slightly brain-washed, but hello it's sales! You basically make every mistake there is to make in business your first year at AIL because you are over worked and don't have proper leadership and or resources to guide you. However, with that being said I am so thankful for that 1 year at AIL because it taught me more in that year than most companies would in 5. I am a successful business woman today because of the grind at AIL.
