great preparation for future careers. would never go back
Pros
*They give you over 180 hours of formal sales training which is really helpful and looks good on a resume *This will build your resilience for cold calling like no other. Other jobs will be a piece of cake after this *If you reach goals, earnings and rewards are pretty great. *They do a great job of recognizing when people close deals *Excellent Entry-level sales to prepare you for your next job.
Cons
*They pretend to be this amazing culture but it's actually very cut-throat. I had seen over 50 employees come and go in the 7 months I worked there. I recently heard they are down to 10 current employees in the sales teams. *I've never had micro-management like this in my life, or even know if there's worse out in the world. You have meeting every morning discussing the same exact stuff/goals you discussed the morning prior. Your Team Lead checks in with you every hour and wants to know exactly how many people you've talk to and what your goals are. It's repetition to its core. *They will literally trick merchants into buying the service, which they are then locked into for 4 years. If you don't get paper to pen that day, your manager will send you back in and yell at you until you do *Basically door to door salesmanship. Total "'used car salesman" feel and mentality. Do/Say whatever it takes to get the deal *The hours are unreal. If you live in the burbs it's probably better, but the travel time (which they only reimburse the tiniest amount of) is ridiculous. I had to wake up at 6 am and usually didn't get home until 8 pm .
