Pros

It's a job for now.

Cons

1st day on the job. I walked in an learned that one of the other sales people had just left the company, and that I would now be required to work 6 days a week (except Sundays) until further notice. Absolutely no training, I can sell, but with no knowledege of the product prices, proceedures, etc... I was told to work the lot from hour 1. How am I supposed to assist customers with absolutely no knowledge of these things. Also learned from customers who have visited the center before (and yes, this is still day 1) that I was the 5th sales person they have dealt with in the past couple of months. All the other had left the company. HMMM, can we say "recruiting mill"? Within 5 minutes, I was given the keys to the entire lot, and expected to close deals without any traing at all. Later in the week, when I was able to "shadow" the manager, I observed him lying to customers and telling people things totally contradictory to what I was being told?????

Pros

Benefits, Casual TM's, pay (for most TM's), A laid back environment. No dress code, no attendance rules, Bonuses every week. Team Leader pay, Career opportunities, depending on who you are, Schedule, work life balance.

Cons

Treatment from management at facilities and Home Office, Pay for TM's who do not have management in their job title but do the work, no recognition for the TMs behind the work that makes the mangers look good. The way that most, not all of managers, talk to the laborers, Frustration work environment, challenging.
