Pros

Free food. Nice people. Cookouts. Close to my apartment. Holiday parties. That'd really it to be honest.

Cons

Where do I begin, the base pay is only $8 an hour. You get additional money based on sales, clocking in and clocking out , and basically if management likes you. The song on the website is a lie the highest I've ever made at softrock was $13 an hour, which does not equal 45000 and 50000 per year. I remember when I used to have to beg for them to give me the money that I earned just so I would not get evicted from my apartment but they didn't care. Even if you came to work late because there's an accident or came back from lunch late they would take money out of your check up to $100. I was a top-performing advisor and very loyal employee, yes I would fear every Friday because I know that I will not be getting paid money that I deserved. On top of the pain being a lie I felt so sad for the people that we were tricking to sign up to talk to school. Most people just want to find a job and do not want to further their education and there is nothing wrong with that but it was our job to make them feel guilty and go through with it anyway period many sleepless nights. I heard this place shut down and it's for the best. The CEO never even acknowledge me because I wasn't a pretty blonde girl. Only thing I learned from here was that I would never fall for a scam company that promise is your income based off commission.

Pros

Usually free food on Fridays, cool people

Cons

Its a revolving door, high turnover rate. Management is very spotty, they seem to favor certain employees. They say they are going to pay you a certain rate, but it depends on way too many factors, so you end up not making the money you expect. Your commission is based on outside factors, you could perform your job the way you were trained, but if someone in the next step drops the ball, you get NOTHING!
