      Pros

      Sales experience, easy interview process, the people working there are all pretty fun

      Cons

      The whole thing is just a scam. While it might not be a full blown pyramid scheme, its definitely structured the same. They boast about getting great pay but it's all commission based. They'll tell you Saturday is an optional day for meeting your goals if you didnt during the week, its not and they will be really pissed if you try to say youre not going to work on a Saturday. It's all door to door sales, they won't tell you that till youve actually accepted the job but it is. During the interview process they'll tell you about how selective they are and how lucky you are to have made it to the second round but don't listen to them, the place is a revolving door of people getting hired and leaving. They are constantly interviewing anyone that applies and will hire just about anyone and there's a constant stream of people leaving after they've wised up to what is really going on. Don't waste your time on it, its all a scam. Even what you're selling most of the time is just scamming people one way or another.

      Hello Reviewer, Thank you for providing your review. We are not involved in a pyramid scheme, since that is an illegal business practice. We keep our business structure very simple, since one of our visions is to provide equal opportunity to those who are willing and capable of making personal career advancements on their own. Regarding your employment experience, as you know, we require any sales representative that we hire to complete a full day of job shadowing prior to employment. This ensures that before we ever offer the job, the candidate is able to see the exact job duties performed, including interactions with customers. Compensation details are also discussed within the job shadow session, so if you were not happy with the job duties or compensation, we’re not sure why you accepted the position. We have designed our interview process so that we can be as up front as possible about the job duties. Please contact us at the office with any further questions or concerns. Again, thank you for your feedback.

      Pros

      You'll meet some really cool people, have some fun times-- business trips are a lot of fun and a good way to make some extra money (sometimes). The in-office work environment is fun- sometimes we would play games to pump up energy before hitting the field. You'll learn a lot about business goals and entrepreneurship in the meetings and conference calls; business wisdom that you'll take with you for the rest of your life. You don't have to be at the office until 11am. The managers are really cool and helpful.

      Cons

      Long days! There was a long commute back and forth, plus the 9-hr day. You have to be going door to door selling products/services rain or shine- torrential downpours, tornadoes, etc. During the initial interview there was no mention that I was going to be going door-to-door, just "face-to-face interactions with customers." I didn't know what I was getting myself into until I went on the follow-up interview with a leader- to the middle of nowhere, where I basically shadowed him for the day. He sold the job well, so I decided to take it. You typically have to be doing door-to-door sales for well over a year before you move up.

      Hey Reviewer, Thanks for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you were able to learn a lot and gain new skills in your time at One Chicago. Regarding the cons you mentioned, as you know, we require any sales representative that we hire to complete a full day of job shadowing prior to employment.

We understand that face-to-face sales and marketing is not for everyone and we wish you the very best in your future endeavors. Best, The One Chicago Team.
