Pros

- Fast, friendly and knowledgeable direct help line. (Solutions) - middle management - the customers - quick updates on promotions and product pricing.

Cons

- The pay scale is far below industry standards. Both base and compensation - Commission structure is a nightmare, and changes all the time, and it just gives them multiple ways to reduce the amount of commission they have to pay out to employees. - excessively high quotas to even receive commission. (meaning they won't even pay you for what you did sale if you don't sale a certain amount.) - you constantly feel pressured and micro-managed . - they are quick on payroll deductions. -you're better off getting insurance on your own. -no 401k -frown upon use of vacation days or any time off. -high turnover because of all the above reasons.

Dear former employee, I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. Sales is a very demanding world. A pressure to sell and hit numbers will always be there, but we never want you to feel like you are under appreciated or that management is supportive.

Pros

Potential for good income Ample downtime Base pay + commission instead of commission only LGBTQ+ friendly, name tag does not need to be your legal name

Cons

Poor management Values KPIs above customer needs (you'll still get plenty of emails telling you to not, but verbally it is encouraged to do whatever it takes to meet number goals) Poor/minimal hands-on training (everything is video webinars that are basically just power point slides. No in-person coaching unless you get lucky and have a good manager.) Unlikely to progress to higher paying positions.
