Pros
They gave us pizza once. They also paid for a nice dinner at Brazeiros...if you were able to get your shift covered to go.
Cons
This company is the worst run business I've ever seen in my life. I'm upset that I had to give one star. 1. I was lied to when I was recruited. I was told that training was done while you work. Well between the time I was recruited and the time I started three months later, a lot of things miraculously changed and training was now $10 / hour and I wasn't eligible for commission until I completed training. I also was not able to continue working there if I didn't sell $500 worth of products. Yes, you're out of a job in two weeks if you don't see $500 worth of stuff. 2. That $500 in sales? Goes to your mentor. They earnt he commission on that. You know, because you gotta pay the person teaching you how to sell right? If I didn't know how to do the job I was hired to do, then why did you hire me? The training was not worth $500 either. 3. The shadiness. The lies and deceit in that company will drive you insane. My team lead literally said to a group that if a customer had an accessory discount on their account, you don't have to tell them and you can charge them full price. WHAT? 4. The disrespect. A team lead said to the group that we can make as much money as lawyers and doctors and you don't need a college degree to do this job. I should've taken my fancy, expensive degree and walked out right then and there. 5. The disregard for diversity and inclusion. I was in the very small minority in the KX market. So small, that there was only one other person who shared a similar ethnic background and gender as I did. The back office always got us mixed up although we looked nothing alike, and even went so far as to nearly mail me the person's commission check because they thought I was them. I had to argue to prove my identity as the "other (insert ethnicity and gender here) person." 6. Money. You won't make any unless you lie and steal. Yes, steal. I received a $500 bonus within my first week. I was stoked. I didn;t receive it for a month because I "didn't submit my payroll on time" but I submitted it by the due date and I showed them proof. It didn't matter. You won't receive your first commission check until 3 months after you start. I quit after three months and received my first check after I received the first one from my new job IN A NEW STATE. I had time to quit, get all my remaining shifts covered, move across the country, celebrate a holiday, and start a new job before I even saw a commission check. Completely unreasonable. I've heard of budgeting a month in advance, but three months? Not a chance. 7. The mental stress. I had frequent breakdowns working here because of the cold calling that I was not told about when I was recruited. You have to sit in the office and cold call for four hours straight. The team leads walk around and watch you. They listen to you and judge what you say and didn't say. 8. The unsolicited bad advice. I pulled my team lead aside to tell him that I was concerned about my future with the company. I was selling but I wasn't able to eat or pay rent so I took a second job. He suggested I get a credit card or take out a loan to "invest in myself." He went on to explain that he was thousands in debt before he started here and now he makes soooo much money. I then had a panic attack and went to the hospital. Guess who called the next day asking if I was coming in! 9. Safety. A store got robbed, and you don't have security camera footage to review. Things get stolen all the time, but instead of reviewing tapes, you just charge all employees for it. But all the stores have cameras? What's up with that? Do they not work or something?
