Pros

There are absolutely no pros working for this company.

Cons

This organization purchases other companies in our industry by advertising a family culture and an hourly wage of $25, only to subsequently reduce employee compensation. I experienced a staggering 40% drop in income after they acquired my previous employer. Despite this, in their review responses, they consistently claim market competitiveness, while "mid majors" offer substantially higher hourly wages and superior commissions. Being one of the “Big 5” should mean setting an example not treating us worse. They recently introduced a new policy terminating employees and managers who don't sell at least 30 boxes per month, pitting them against each other in smaller markets. They profess to instill a coaching culture, yet fail to demonstrate it.

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.
