Pros

The people I worked with were great, very supportive and always had a positive attitude. The initial training was very good and they have great online training mixed with personal coaches. It's a perfect place for someone who is just getting started in Sales

Cons

I worked part time, basically filling in for full time employees. I did not like coming in for just 3 hours in the evening as it just was not enough time to spend with customers and make sales. Although I did make quite a few sales and was told I was doing a great job, I did figure out that I was only making about $15 an hour. I was on commission and the amount of hours needed to make a decent living was simply too much. However I must note that you can make a better living if you stick it out and become a Senior Sales Consultant. Your commission rates are higher and you can make your own schedule.

Pros

Forward thinking, extensive training and feedback. This can be overwhelming at times and frustrating. They believe in work life balance.

Cons

Constantly feel like you have to interview for your job everyday. Hire you because of your skills then they want you to forget all you know and use their language.
