Pros

Not much to say but they have food on Fridays that they barely tell their employees about. Monthly meet up is a giant waste of time not a pro.

Cons

Very high turnover rate they blame you if you don’t have enough starts even though the people you try to find are terrible and they expect you to be a magician and find good quality people, in reality the the outreach position is terrible and it’s a terrible hourly pay and mostly commission like any other door to door company. Figured out that I was going to get terminated and week before that had a meeting saying that wasn’t the case. A week after I got terminated. The company is a complete joke definitely not worth a 3.8 star rating. You will last about 4-6 months at best. Nobody last longer unless you are a higher up employee.
