Pros

The work is simple after training. Customer service becomes the focus.

Cons

You will work 60+ hrs per week. 1-4 Saturdays per month. Most nights you will be on the phone from 7pm-9pm setting up appointments for the following day(s). Expect 1 hour of free time for yourself/family per week day..\

Pros

Meeting Co-Workers and making friends with employees

Cons

This company has a Good Ole Boy mentality. If you stand around and joke with the boss and become friends with the other managers then you will have a job for life - even if your are horrible at it. The flip side, if you bust your butt and work hard, give excellent customer service and you are not liked then you will suffer a long and painful career. Good luck getting raises from this billion dollar company. Most managers are too fat to lead by example and show you how to perform your duties but they don't miss a lunch.
