Pros

--Big company that is expanding rapidly.

Cons

--No racial diversity. Homogenous work environment. Scottsdale location is 95% caucasian. Minorities rarely ever get hired. I was the one of the few minorities in the office. --Boiler room environment. Did you get a college degree only to work in a high pressure call center? --Laughable compensation. --Long hours and high turnover. You are just another cog in the machine here.

Pros

--Growth mode --Great concept --Website/company growing rapidly --Great training --Effective advertising --Company not going anywhere but up --Intense sales atmosphere --Excellent location in the heart of Scottdale.

Cons

--The place is run by kids. All your peers are in their early to mid-twenties, who think they know it all. --You will be overworked and underpaid, resulting in burnout and turnover. Think 12 hours a day for a little over $30k/year. --Management and HR make you feel like you should be blessed to have a job there. Therefore, you should never turn down a request...and you should smile while doing everything as you're told. --Lack of racial diversity, especially in the Scottsdale location. --High pressure environment. If you don't hit your targets, you will be cut loose, before and after the 60 day trial period. --Incompetence is rampant from the top down. --They are seeking to the perfect "applicant", which begs the question, why is there a 60 day training period if the applicants have to know the Yelp sales pitch down to a 'T' prior to coming onboard?
