We did not get training like these recently placed (and well marketed) reviewers did. It's very funny that after one bad review, a handful of similarly written reviews were posted here to bury the one review that was pretty spot-on.
I was asked to write in my own voice because this forum is supposed to be honest, and not employer or marketing staff driven. If NHS valued all independent contractors the same, there would be no bad reviews. I'm happy some of you are enjoying the work, and making money. But for us, we did not have the same experience as you recent posters. Doesn't mean we didn't put in the same time, or more, as you. Doesn't mean we weren't as committed as you. Doesn't even mean we didn't enjoy the work. We did all we could. We had zero experience and were promised training. We were promised sales models that were never constructed. (Until 14 months after a rental sales office opened)
We were given a set of keys and left to fend for ourselves on our first day there and with no experience. Together, the sales staff had to try and figure it all out. We were not given access to the NHS portal until our third month there -- THIRD MONTH! The portal is the lifeline to success and you positive reviewers have all stated that! Our manager spent THREE DAYS on site with us in 6 months - that's it. From all I read here, it seems that we shared the same manager and it's obvious he was traveling and training all of you while we begged corporate for a lifeline.
I'm not slamming you for being successful, just please realize that the management wasn't equally balanced across the board.
