Business Outlook

Pros

Schedule that’s the only pro

Cons

Take advantage of every employee!! They make u come in sick but then everyone with compromised immune system get very ill they write you up!!! When I was there they had lost 4 employees and now I’m still in touch with a lot of them and 3 more have quit and another looking for another job because they don’t pay enough and expect you to your job description as well as others while managers just sit at desk (they call it bull pin) they made over $20 million in November but refused to give any raise or bonus!! When they fired myself and another great employee they did so and ended up having to pay us unemployment because they fired us unlawfully

Lied to about job conditions and unsafe environment

Pros

I Can’t think of any.

Cons

They lied to me from day one. Nowhere in the job description did they say you will be walking around in 100° weather in the Las Vegas desert going to door without any paperwork trying to sell AT&T. I was scared for my safety multiple times, but more exhausted from the desert sun. Not worth it whatsoever. I quit after my first week. When I mentioned it, they laughed and told me this work isn’t for everyone. Complete Waist Of Time lesson learned.

Hard work - High earning potential

Pros

Very high earning potential and strong career growth. If you want to fast track retirement and are willing to put in the work, this is the place for you.

Cons

It's difficult and requires a grind to make it. That does come with very strong compensation, but it isn't for everyone.
