Pros
Potential to make a GREAT paycheck. I make more in this job while working fewer hours than in any other job I've had. Office leaders/management really does care about making this a fun place to be. There are constantly fun incentives and rewards which keeps things exciting and enjoyable. Tonight I am going to a Rockies game with my team members for getting a sale yesterday. Thanks, HA! A pair of my co-workers won a trip to HAWAII which they are taking a the end of this month. The environment is casual, but every person here is hardworking and serious about doing well. Benefits are great (health/vision/pto/401k) and opportunities to bonus outside of commission occur weekly. We have weekly meetings with our director to discuss management development topics - the company cares about investing in their people and promoting from within. I actually LIKE talking to the contractors we call. DAILY we are emailed stories of recently signed-up pros who call or write in to tell us about how much their business has changed for the better. I can honestly say that if I were a contractor, I'd use the service, which makes it easy to sell. There is excellent opportunity for advancement in this office. I have worked here for eight months and have interviewed twice for other positions within Sales. I am working with my manager on a weekly basis to ready myself for the next opportunity. My team members have become some of my best friends. The office IS diverse in that we all come from different backgrounds and have very different personalities, but the recruitment team does an amazing job of hiring honest, NICE and happy people who I want to sit next to every day. Everyone is willing to help each other when we need it. I would feel comfortable asking anyone in this office for help if I needed it. The company cares about the community. We have paid time off to volunteer at not-for-profit organizations. We run floor contests that raise money or supplies for communities in need both here in Denver and around the world.
Cons
I will say that sometimes spending the day on a telephone can be tiring.. but that's why we call it WORK! I appreciate that we take breaks at 10:15am, get an hour lunch and another break at 3:15pm. Honestly, though, the harder you dial the more money you earn. EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. who dials hard is at the top of the commission pay-scale.
