Pros

Excellent sales training, weather you stay with this company or take the training elsewhere--the skills you learn here will open doors. Also, Great compensation for an entry level job and a really fun young work environment. Ive never been around a more fun and outgoing bunch of people.

Cons

For starters, realize this is an aggressive outside sales J-O-B. We hire lots of recent college grads who go on field rides and love the young fun environment, but forget to notice how hard the work is. Then quickly get disillusioned when they see the realities of the job. This job is door-to-door outside sales. You will spend 12 hours a day at work. Lots of micromanagement (if you have a hard time taking criticism, this isnt the job for you) This is also a very young company, working out alot of kinks and its not a long term sales job. You wont be develop many skills after the first 4-5 months because their sales model is built around 'new hire' trainings. Its also not a long term/career job. ( the annual employee turnover rate hovers at about 87% and the average rep only lasts about 3 mos) So if you can handle the work load and keep your chin up, you'll come out with a great set of sales skills and the ability to handle yourself professionally, and be able to get a much better job.

Pros

It wouldn't allow me to put my actual last year (2012) but during my 2 year employment, I made great money. I made president's club both years and regular saw 7K checks with some topping 10K. I used to win nice watches, luxury sunglasses, skydiving trips, box seats at Lakers games, box seating at really cool concerts, etc.

Cons

LONG hours...I would arrive at 7am for the morning meeting. we would then have team meeting at 8am and we would hit the road at 9am. We wouldn't get back until 5:30-6:00pm BUT nobody complained because we were paid for it. Nobody cared what gas prices were because we were more than compensated (I forgot to mention Dom, the big boss, would but gas cards and hand those out just because you had a nice suit on. Dude was such a good leader....eveyone wanted to do good for Dom. Why? I/ couldn't explain it...ther than he knew how to lead and that involves getting people to buy into your plan. We did. And Dom had that division leading the company each and every month. Two of the best years of my career and it happened in the very beginning. I will always miss my time here. what a con. lol. it was a great job
