Pros

Kinda flexible schedule and everyone there will most likely be right out of college

Cons

Definitely cult like. You have to be there so early and have to do way too much in such a short time. Expected to work really long hours for minimal pay. Feels like you are hustling people every day. Also put so many miles on your car.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very through training program. Salary for the first two years. During your training you get to go with current sales reps and ask for referrals to building up your clientele once you start selling. Very genuine people in this company that you will enjoy working with. This job is a sales role so you have to be willing to hussle.

Cons

If you aren’t willing to work hard and call people to book appointments this job may not be for you.
