Pros

- Benefits and pay - Pretty good co-workers - My team was remote - Easy interview

Cons

- Lack of stability, I had 6 managers in 3 years - Lots of responsibilities with little support and compitent managers, lead to burn out that I'm still recovering from - Job description was very different than what I worked on - Poor leadership and organization, constantly having rug pulled out under us - All the annoying corporate things - Much work being offshored to India, management was boasting about the new India Hub while the US corporate office was experiencing Layoffs, people were nice enough but different timezones made cross team collaboration painful - Constantly changing priorieties - Very few promotions after 2022, was "exceeding expectations" for 3 years, going well above my grade level, with no promotion granted (kept saying it was coming)

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
