Pros

None, None, None, and None

Cons

Pyramid scheme. They take 50% of your commission. They offer a “base pay” but they never hire the candidates who choose that option. They push for full commission. High turnover rate because the volume of employees is what keeps making them money, even if they don’t sell or if they quit. Management lies to candidates constantly about how much they make to entice the naive. You drive your own vehicle with no reimbursement for gas or wear and tear on your vehicle. For the year I worked there not one employee was hired for a “management position” you’re called a manager but your still selling door to door. No benefits, no healthcare, no vision, no dental, no 401k. You work 6 days a week which is mandatory 12pm to 8pm. You’re better off working at McDonald’s.

We are sorry to hear that you had a poor experience with us! We apologize for any confusion concerning your compensation and are not sure where these allegations are coming from. It’s important to note that a pyramid scheme (which is illegal in the United States) requires an initial payment from any new member, and that is not something that we would ever ask of our employees. None of our partners would ever associate themself with a pyramid scheme because it would tarnish their reputation. Our management team would be more than happy to provide information on this subject. We pride ourselves on being extremely transparent and are very upfront about the position requirements during the interviewing process. We certainly don't want to make any false promises which may disappoint our candidates and promote people based on merit. Please email us at careers@eclipsecaliforniaoc.com to set up a time when we can discuss your concerns in more detail and hopefully find a resolution.

Pros

They at least pay $16.50 hourly. They're pretty much hiring anyone, so if you're desperate for a paycheck, this would be a good place to work at temporarily, until you find another job. The majority of other employees are very high-energy and friendly. Ironically, you will also be taught good sales techniques.

Cons

Obvious MLM & 'devilcorp'. The company mandates in-office attendance at 7-8AM, regardless if you have an AM or PM shift, and they will assign you to locations that will be a very far commute - overall a chaotic schedule that often gets updated last-minute. They will also try to make you work unpaid hours, but kindly remind them that that's illegal, and they should promptly readjust their instructions.
