Pros

Got close to some awesome people, great resume booster (companies I interview with now love it), lots of experience. I learned a lot about what sales and managing is like and how hard it is. This job gives you a chance to do things you wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity to.

Cons

Management sucks. They gives you tons on information and then throw you into things and expect you to figure it out and be successful. They push you a lot. You will work your butt off! During the spring semester I worked about 30hrs a week and over the summer worked on average 100+ hrs a week. I only made about $5,000. They promise you a minimum of $4k but theres a LOT of requirements you have to hit by certain dates. Make sure you know when they are (they don't always tell you).

You learned fast, built real skills, and left with a standout resume. That’s the kind of grit that serves people for life.

Pros

They are no pros to working here.

Cons

These people are awful. Worked here 10 years ago and I still think about how bad it was. First off they manipulated me into taking the job and then when I got there I was feeling pretty paranoid and sketched out by their behavior. By the end of the first training they were openly picking on me because I wasn’t participating. From that point on I had lost any trust in the staff as they were making everything about me. Some kind of bullying campaign was being done against me. They were putting stuff in my food and water to mess with me. The second training the Vp was talking about how much he hated me using indirect terms. Such as “I hate PowerPoint” but he was referring to me. In hindsight I should have just left and quit but I guess I didn’t want to just let them win. In the end they quit on me and basically went against their company values such as relationships are everything (didn’t talk to me), results matter (less time focused on me would have gotten results) , and never give up ( I never quit but they did).
