Pros

A job if you have none

Cons

Low salary and even worse commission plan. In fact the worse commission plan I've even seen in sales. Especially for your responsibilitied, including hiring, training, and firing employees that make only $10 an hour. We were told in training by management that you're doing good if you have employees that have stayed for more than 6 months! Cheap company vehicle that GPS tracks you. Required daily reports that GPS tracks you. Horrible health care plans with high deductibles. Poor 401k match. No work/life balance No help from upper management Poor hotel food at all trainings and at summit. Rude employees at your HQ that have no understanding of the sales field due to lack of experience and low pay. They give you socks and cookie jars?

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.
