You will learn how to sell over the phone and be very creative in your wording
Pros
Great health benefits Met some very cool people at IMG and in college athletics which could lead to other positions in athletic departments Great place to be if you are extremely motivated and love cold calling and meeting new people Pretty good training tools although whether your school will let you take the training wheels off of your new ideas another question We did have some good bonuses when we did hit our goals
Cons
Pay was ehhh. Don't get too excited over $10 an hour, but there is the opportunity to get to $11.00 after a year; and the benefits definitely helped once those kicked in. You will not find much room to move unless you are flexible to move out of state as there aren't a ton of properties in your neighborhood. Depending on which school you are assigned to will help determine how creative you can be with your sales campaigns and will often limit your commission (if they sell out in many of the sports you do sell) Many of the staff at the schools you work with are not very accepting of new people "on their turf" talking to their customers etc.
