Pros

They do start you with a pretty strong sales training class that lasts about 6 weeks where they teach you about their products and sales techniques used in door-to-door sales. They don't just throw you out there to make a sale.

Cons

You have to visit 50 businesses per day at the minimum. It is achievable but if for any reason you come up even a couple short you are scrutinized for lack of effort. Door-to-door cold calling is also very degrading to a certain extent. You are treated like an unexpected guest all day every day which is very unpleasant. Very high turnover. Sales managers don't really care about you, just the number of sales you bring in every month.

Pros

It wouldn't allow me to put my actual last year (2012) but during my 2 year employment, I made great money. I made president's club both years and regular saw 7K checks with some topping 10K. I used to win nice watches, luxury sunglasses, skydiving trips, box seats at Lakers games, box seating at really cool concerts, etc.

Cons

LONG hours...I would arrive at 7am for the morning meeting. we would then have team meeting at 8am and we would hit the road at 9am. We wouldn't get back until 5:30-6:00pm BUT nobody complained because we were paid for it. Nobody cared what gas prices were because we were more than compensated (I forgot to mention Dom, the big boss, would but gas cards and hand those out just because you had a nice suit on. Dude was such a good leader....eveyone wanted to do good for Dom. Why? I/ couldn't explain it...ther than he knew how to lead and that involves getting people to buy into your plan. We did. And Dom had that division leading the company each and every month. Two of the best years of my career and it happened in the very beginning. I will always miss my time here. what a con. lol. it was a great job
