Pros

1. If you can succeed at the job, there is a lot of money to be made 2. Great testimonial videos showing solid proof of success for companies working with SMS 3. Very kind and supportive staff

Cons

1. They lied about the job description in the recruiting process (said you don't need to self-generate your own leads/sales, but it is pretty much impossible to succeed without doing so.) 2. 100% commission based, so no safety net salary to ramp up. 3. Witnessed managers acting abusive and (put bluntly) unacceptably offensive to staff in office. 4. Terrible lead generation process, most leads seem to be either unwilling to meet, insisting that they never agreed to meet, or upset by the tactics used to schedule meetings. 5. Awful online presence (the more you look, the worse it gets.)

Pros

The best part about working here so far as been growing my network I have made some lifelong connections, sand picked up one great mentor. Roles are well defined and know exactly what is expected of you and have the tools necessary to deliver on it. The exposure to different industries and types of clients and the focus on continuing education is welcomed.

Cons

Was a little overwhelming when I first signed on but I had a lack of constuling experience.

Pros

The Trainer was knowledgeable about the product.

Cons

The leads provided are not actual leads; ninety percent of the people contacted never booked an appointment or agreed to a consultation. Compounding this issue, the worst-quality leads are systematically assigned to new employees. Despite management’s claim that it is the only company offering this service, Kevin O'Leary openly promotes a direct competitor. Ultimately, this is a dying business model that will soon be entirely replaced by AI.
