Pros

The pay (but it's solely based on whether you make a sale or not), learned some communication skills, met interesting people

Cons

They basically teach you how to scam people into paying more money than they need to. They come up with scripts that make the customer feel as if they should buy the home security equipment. They don't pay you for training days. How will you pay for transportation or gas, given that you don't have a job,since most people there are high school grads or college students? During the training days, you are in a room full of 30ish people, listening to someone talk for 7 hours, teaching you sales tactics and horrible morals. Someone who has a heart, wouldn't dare try to rob someone of their money. The managers only give you a 10 minute break for lunch which isn't anytime at all to eat or get some fresh air and stretch your legs. Then they want you to come up with at least 30 names and numbers of potential customers who own homes and are at least 30 years old. They ask you to harass your friends parents and stalk previous classmates' (even those you haven't even spoke to, at all in your life) parents. Then to call them around dinner time. No one wants to be bothered after 7pm by an salesman,no matter how good they are. Too long, didn't read: Don't waste your time applying

Pros

Great company, lots of perks! The schedule is consistent; busy and slow seasons make the work predictable. There is always something to do, so if you like to stay busy, then this position is great for you. The team is relatively small, so everyone is close!

Cons

No growth opportunities. Seems like the 1Stop department in general gets pushed to the side; there is no recognition for the work you do.
