Pros

Low Requirements to start at $16/hr in Indy. Opportunity to move horizontally and into lower management. Available benefits.

Cons

Will be constant stress and pressure from the first moment out of training. This is followed by increasing personal client counts each week while people quit around you. Management changes almost monthly at some points with supervisors and managers leaving/changing positions. Expectations are always set higher than what one employee is capable of. No positive change has happened in the 2 years I have worked at the company.

Pros

No pros - waste of time - they sell a dream but it’s all a lie

Cons

-Lack of proper on boarding and training - basically just sitting in a room training your self for 2 weeks before sent away to training . -Management lacked the experience in leading a team - As a sales job - how can a standardized test show ones true potential ?? If one doesn’t past the test you are jobless and they don’t care!
