Pros
Great for college graduates entering the job market for the first time, initial salary is very good for a little to no experience. Your immediate colleagues is normally willing to assist you and help you grow. Great company discount. Training and opportunities to learn about new products, which can be overwhelming, are available. Fairly generous vacation and sick time.
Cons
Absentee leadership, You will be left here other places but if you need assistance then you need to figure it out. Advancement can only be truly achieved until a certain point, otherwise you are required to work in new districts or different states for even middling promotions. This can vary depending on the size of your district. Your goals are often not linked to reality. Expect to perform 11 to 15% more than the year before on top of previous year, across multiple goals. An expectation to generate at least $100,000 in new business every single year from accounts that buy little or are brand new. Work life balance at times can be essentially non-existent, You're expected to work 48 hours, although expect to work 50 to 60 hours But you won't be compensated beyond 48 . be open most holidays, absolute deluge of information you need to learn. There are tools available, but there are many products that you have to learn about. Leadership is completely indifferent and solely looks out for the shareholders. Do not be confused by any honeyed words, they have lied for multiple years about new system updates, updates technology which is outdated and not industry-leading despite the size of the company. At the time of this writing they are also trying to introduce 6:00 a.m. openings for stores. Expect that there will be times where you will work open close alone, they simply do not stuff their stores so if one person is sick or on vacation it becomes a calamity.
