Pros

Great people, free food, snacks, dog friendly, alcohol.

Cons

Hiring way too many people, and those who are here arent making enough. The recruiting process is not transparent, they sugarcoat everything. 100 plus dials a day on average, a lot of the leads are garbage. What they tell you will make is not true, but they will sucker you in with that number.

Pros

I loved the idea of FiveStars as well as their mission. The company seems to be filled with talented, honest, forthright people who wish to put good into the world.

Cons

In real life, as an experienced sales person who has sold to teachers and doctors and other medical providers, I found calling on small business owners to be taxing. On the whole - with exception, of course - they don't respect your time or your mission. They assume you are there to take advantage of them despite the fact that FiveStars is a legitimate product which, if used correctly, will improve almost any business. It's strenuous, also. 130 phone calls per week. Set/hold 3 meetings per day. Plus canvassing. There is so much rejection and utter disdain for this type of salesperson from business owners that it is hard for someone sensitive, such as myself, to end the day with any sort of self esteem in tact. Then add in that the pay is very low, commissions can be generous but if the business owner doesn't do their part, they are forfeited, the cons sadly outweighed the pros to me. I wanted to love working there - I truly wanted that badly - but every day, I was sad.
