Pros

Really not many I can think of. They have a lot of training and support which was nice, but that is about it.

Cons

The commission structure, the quotas to meet in order to make enough commission to pay back your salary - yep, after 15 months you have to be able to pay back your salary and then you make whatever is left over. Not ideal. Sometimes you're working 12 hour days and no overtime pay - it's like you're a real estate agent, but your real estate is people.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
