Pros

Average pay for the job. Decent hours.

Cons

Management targets employees for termination and keeps them on that path no matter what. Blow the whistle on the poor air quality in the building causing the three asthma attacks per week and people having to be taken out by ambulance and get fired!

Pros

It was a good position, they paid well, and you could work your own hours if you prefered.

Cons

Mostly working nights and knocking doors on peoples houses. Who wants to have their door knocked on by a sales rep?

Pros

Amazing benefits, life, health, dental, vision, 401k. Training is done via webcam which is cool. You are your own boss for the most part so if you aren't self motivated this job won't be for you.

Cons

When interviewed I asked if there was a draw on their commission. Meaning do I have to exceed my weekly salary in commission dollars before I see any extra money. I was told no I get what I sell. I was misinformed because my first week out of training was the last week of their commission month and I did not receive any extra money, about $1000 worth. I had asked what's going on and I was then told I had to get 12 sales installed before I see money for that month. So if you want to see any commission be prepared to get 12 sales before you get anything. Driving far distances from your house and not making any commission until the end of the month isn't great. Also out of my team of six other people and three of them being "vets" only two of them are making commission and one of them barely gets to 12 sales to get a nice check.
