Pros

You get to change lives each day - legitimately helping kids who may not normally have a chance to go to college or compete at that level & guide them through the process.

Cons

Each day is a new challenge, you are working primarily with teenagers - which can have it own's inherent struggles. It is a constantly-changing environment based on your client load.

Pros

Work from home Control of your schedule Every call is different Talk sports all day Great money

Cons

Work- Life Balance can be an issue - as long as you hit your goals, you have control of your schedule. If you don't hit your goals, you may seem like you're working more to try to get there.

Pros

-if you are looking for a inside sales job this is the place for you -software and technology is very cool and is really simple for families to use -you will get a lot of practice talking to families -the people on the sales staff and recruiting coaches are normally fun people who become friends -benefits package is solid -relaxed dress code -you do constantly get to talk sports

Cons

-CEO is completely out of touch with reality of his own business -top tier VP and management are all yes men- fearful to speak up not wanting to lose their jobs -management team and executives have no real business experience or management/leadership skills when it comes to actually running a company -constant change in message- CEO gets on phone one week saying "we need more deluxe families" and the next saying "we need more free level families " or " we're the experts tell the family what level is based for them" a month later "why are we recommending memberships let the family choose" -company manipulates data to favorably entice families to enroll -customer service wing is great but they are whoa-fully understaffed and company continues to turn blind eye as they focus solely on lining their own pockets -bonuses are constantly achieved by individuals yet never paid out -problems with commission going through on paychecks -low hours and minimal pay -management lacks the straight forwardness that real leaders need- they should just say look we are in this for the money, your power ranking are based off revenue, and you got to pick it up- lets get through these families and find ones that want to buy our product and have the money to do so -salesforce(software) is a nightmare -constant busy work - sending VP's information each night that they already receive if they opened their eyes -constantly changing how we educate families on the front side - such as how we explain our relationship, because we wont come out and say look - we bought your info from one of partners we know you didn't request an evaluation -VPs and CEO always trying to get us to talk around the cost issue- total bait and switch on families -constant turn over
