Pros

Great pay...pretty much the only thing. If you are willing to have no life outside of work to see family or friends, you can make life changing money.

Cons

No work life balance, working at night and all weekend. 30 seconds between long phone calls. You hear the radio ads about hiring 500 people, that's because 500 have quit that month! I stayed for 6 months and 90% of people I started with had quit.

Pros

Great people, make some good friends. A lot of people similar age in their mid-twenties which is always a plus. Great job for myself initially because it was my first job out of college and was looking for a decent income and this was a quick fix for that problem.

Cons

Terrible management, under qualified managers who weren't good enough on the phones so they moved up to manage the employees who are on the phones taking inbound calls. Management is never willing to work with you in terms of scheduling even if you've been with the company for a year or more. Awful late night hours depending on what business you are placed. This company will hire anyone which means that they will fire you as well without thinking twice. Does not take two-weeks notice but will instead escort you out of the building if you put in that notice. Very unethical in the sales process, essentially lies to customers but just word it in a way that you can get away with it and really rip off a lot of people who have no idea what they're signing up for. Job security is a 0 on a scale of 0-1000. If you say one word wrong then you will come into work the next day and they will have a box with your things in it and escort you out without warning or giving you a chance to talk about what happened. I resigned from this job for all of the reasons above and more that have not been named. Also, if you are looking for longevity and to start a career this is not the company because they promote from within but it will take years to continue to get promoted and actually get a pay raise. If you initially get promoted from agent to performance manager then you take a pretty significant pay cut. Turnover for employees here is insane as there are numerous people that are fired each day which is why the company hires so many people in a short amount of time constantly. If you like making $10/hr and relying on commission which is not reliable in this company then this is the job for you. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Most people stay three months and either quit or are fired. Don't get paid enough to sit around and be a slave for this company when they don't care about their employees at all in the slightest. The company as a whole will be successful because of the unethical sales strategies but working here is like being a slave that can be kicked out at any point without warning and left job less.

Pros

They do buy you lunch when they have a huge volume of calls in the call Q. But then they take your 1 hour lunch away from you and only give you 30 mins to eat the FREE LUNCH.

Cons

Only a 2 week training process - Which they teach you how to lie and miss lead the customer and to make the sale at all costs. They have 20 people in training and then put you on the phones and out of the 20 people 2-3 people make it past 3 months. They then have another 20 people in the next training class and its just a never ending revolving door. No job stability - If your numbers (which are set a rate that are not attainable) they put you on a 10 day PIP in which if you don't bring your numbers up they fire you. Constantly switching your work hours with minimal notice of the switch. Managers are regular phone agents that have been there less then a year. In a 4 month period I had 3 different managers. All my managers quite the management role and went back to the phones because they are only good at one thing. Lying and deceiving customers to make sales. Managers talk to you like you are a dog and bark orders to you and are constantly yelling and ordering you lie to the customer at all cost to make the sale. They force you to push the customer into buying and you are told not to let the customer off the phone intill either two things happen. Either they buy DTV or they hang the phone up on you. False promises - They lure people in with say'n "You can make $5,000 a month" which is unattainable. Every month they change the commission plan to different numbers so you never know what you are going to make in commission. $10 an hour base and at best $600 - $1,000 average monthly commission. Some months you make no commission at all. This is the most unethical company I have ever worked at. Be very careful of this company and the people that work there. They are Devils in sheeps clothing capitalizing on weak minded people. Worst company I have ever work for and looking to exit very soon.
