Pros
- Easy access to management.
- Your work colleagues.
- Fast progression opportunities are real, if you have an affinity for direct sales.
- Occasional non-financial incentives.
Cons
- Your pay is 100% commission only. It is perfectly possible to go days without pay if you don't make any sales.
- You are knocking on doors in Sheffield, Rotherham and the surrounding areas.
- You cover your own travel expenses.
- If you make it to Team Leader and you're interviewing people, you're expected to pay their travel expenses too, if the interviewee can't afford it.
- Working hours are not 10-6 as stated. You arrive in the office by 10am and leave by 9-10pm. Sometimes later, depending on public transport.
- You work Saturdays as well.
- You're working outside all day, every day. Expect to get wet.
- The job is physically demanding. I didn't realise how much it was draining me until other people commented on my weight and colour loss.
- High staff turnover. When someone leaves, it's considered taboo to ever mention their name again.
