FEC beware

Pros

At first you are brainwashed how wonderful the company is saving the world. In short time they are ramping up the pressure like an insurance company with panels. No matter how successful you may be you will be terminated as their own quoted numbers show 98% termination rate in this position. Get hired as a part of a team of quality, only to see them picked off 1 by 1. Like any large corporation only concerned with numbers matrix. No one lasts. Guy who hired me and was the most tenured RSM in the region resigned after being demoted. Upper management completely out of touch. No quality here, just a bunch of new hires.

Cons

no future. Work hard, refer friends and family and be terminated. Company has 3 or more sales forces and they all compete for same customer. No code of ethics. High pressure and obnoxious management screams about growth, amid mass terminations. Company leads referred to by management as company crack before hire. Successful FEC's terminated while non performers with connections hang on.

Pros

The Company has great benefits and health insurance.

Cons

They treat FES horrible. Relating this to the army, We are the Infantry, we are the reason why the company is number one in the industry, yet they still treat us like an unprofessional staff. And we get paid less. They are hiring a lot outside the company and not promoting within because the Manager does want to lose incredible performer. That is why there is a huge turnover rate.

Pros

Laid back, where what you want. Decent bonus structure.

Cons

"High school click" like atmosphere. People would rather complain behind people's backs about things rather than bring t the attention of the person making the mistake. Fake people that think are doing to the world a service and saving the environment while they drive around In their escalades. People will not hesitate to throw you under the bus.
