Pros

Five Star Professional has been my favorite employment experience to date. I enjoy helping in a company to deliver top industry professionals the valuable tools and services that can make their business stand out and it's fun to see clients get excited about it! I especially love my team - we cheer each other on when we hit/exceed our goals, as well as encourage each other in our personal ups and downs in life. The CEO and the management clearly communicates our company's vision and plan for success with us and often updates us with where we're at currently. Our company is always coming up with new and innovative ideas for improvements for our services, products, and how we do business. This makes the team work more interesting and energizing. I'm never left hanging on what to do in my job and how my role affects the success of my team and the organization. I like participating in our virtual happy hours and our employee recognition program. The program allows employees to nominate our co-workers or manager to be recognized for displaying our company's core values and going above and beyond with their clients and team. As a result the employee receives a gift card of their choice. It's fun to give kudos to others and receive them too from time to time. I appreciate most the diversity here and that great care the hiring managers take in selecting individuals who are dedicated, care, and are easy to relate with. The compensation is more than fair and we have opportunities for earning bonuses and career growth. I'm in my 5th role at the company and going on 8 years here. FSP contributes to my sense of community in life. :)

Cons

Working from home is great in that it can have it's conveniences and allow for more flexibility in maintaining healthy work life balance and habits. Although the downside is not being able to see my co-workers in the office and eat lunch together.

Pros

* Fantastic support and continuous training form the Management Team * Managing and growing your book of business * Getting to work with same clients every year and building relationships *Fun team atmosphere and a great group of people to work with. *No cold calling and lead hunting on your own. Appointments are set for you.

Cons

The company is fairly small so there is not a ton of room for advancement and changing a career path.

Pros

Work from home and take advantage of missed appointments (don't worry they're sales calls) that are "disguised as your client winning an award" If you like the lack of management - I guess that's a plus too-

Cons

Where to start- They will only give you clients that have heard this sales pitch / video you make them watch every year for the last 10+ years. Even the top sales people around won't stand a chance when they are just waiting to hang up the moment you try to open into a sales pitch. 5 months of working there, not a single one on one. They actually told us to listen to our own calls after hours (salary, not hourly) and they expected us to have those ready for them (but of course they never followed up on that because they lacked doing one on ones) Your appointment didn't answer? No free time for you. They expect you to cold call from a list in between your calls so don't expect to have free time to enjoy working from home. (The moment I realized this I never once made these cold calls because I was specifically hired as an inbound appointments) - It only took them 5 MONTHS for them to realize I wasn't even doing that lmao (again shows how amazing mgmt is) All of the extra benefits they mentioned in their job postings are all bs. No 401k, no gym membership reimbursement, it's just a bunch of bs, (there's a reason they are now called Essential Engine instead of 5 star because everyone already caught on to their nonsense.
