Pros

If you expect to work here for a year or less, it can be the right type of job for you to make a little money.

Cons

You will make only a small amount of money. We started at 14/hour, and even the most highly productive employees will get less than a 50 cent raise per year. The stress level is very high. The expectations made on field employees are unrealistic. They do not hire enough people to do the work, and very few people hang around for long. The only people who stay are the ones who absolutely cannot leave for financial reasons, and they leave as soon as they find something better. This is not a long term job. If you do take this job, don't expect to be here for more than a year.
