Pros

First of all, the sales training is great. They teach you a very effective sales model that you can carry with you forever. It is also a very fun office. They hire personalities and everyone is a person I would enjoy spending time with outside of the office. It's a very high energy atmosphere. If you're shy this is the wrong place for you. Good people with good senses of humor. I love working with these people. There are always very attractive monthly sales prizes on the line. Sometimes it's straight cash, sometimes it's 50'' TV's or even vacations (Jamaica, Mexico, Vegas to name a few). Also, they pay nice milestone bonuses which are reasonably set to achieve every 6 months or so. Compensation is fair but confusing (see cons). If you do well, not even great, just well, you'll make good money.

Cons

It's the hardest job I've ever had. Matter of fact, the actual job sucks. Door to door sales isn't the easiest thing to do. It's a gut check everyday. There is constant pressure to hit your monthly quota. AND the quota for consultants isn't very reasonable. Even the top consultants only hit quota about every third month. The commission structure needs work. They stress revenue, but pay your commission based on units. It doesn't make sense.

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
