Pros

This company is a scam. If you notice their website and social media never really says what they do and only has cheerful reviews from employees, not clients. They are a door to door marketing company and they require you to fund your own way of getting to the areas that they require you to market to. If you are desperate for a job then check them out, but if you are a college grad looking for a real opportunity don't even waste your time. Its an insult to your skills and degree.

Cons

True scam of a company

Hey there! I hope this review finds you well, we hope that you have been employed some where that fit your needs. To acknowledge your review, while we appreciate your feedback we think this review is more of a personal attack rather than constructive criticism. If you were employed by the company like the review states, you would know that we are employed by AT&T and have been for the last 3 1/2 years. To imply that our company acts with anything less than high character and integrity is slanderous knowing we work for a Fortune 100 company. Would you call AT&T a scam? Long story short, we recognize that face to face marketing and sales is not a great fit for everyone. However, we wish your experience had been different. If you have any questions you would like to ask our Human Resource Team please feel free to call us! Take care and well wishes! Sincerely, South Inc. Nashville Management Team

Pros

Hannah is almost as awesome as the opportunity. The work environment is great, promotions are merit based, and I feel like apart of Hannah's family.

Cons

Not for the person who wants to slack at work.

Pros

Start time was 11ish which was nice, but then again that means you're knocking on personal homes after dark in the middle of nowhere sometimes.

Cons

Where to begin, from day one you are told that if you "put in the work, you will be successful" but that is forced down your throat by managers who make a percentage of every sale you make, and then the managers that hired them make a percentage off that and so on and so on. Basically you're a door to door sales man/woman who goes to supposed "interested" homes to offer them AT&T/DirectTV service (I think this has changed now, but that's what it was when I was there"basically you visit 40-60 homes in a shift with that hope you find that one person who doesn't slam the door in your face, tell you to screw yourself, or get the cops called on you (which happens probably once a month). These homes have no idea who you are, SOUTH does not provide you with anything to wear that identifies you with AT&T only an IPAD so people never think its legit. They expect you to go on these "business trips" but you aren't supplied with per diem or gas money so you're coming out of pocket for basically the entire trip. Oh and driving from home to home in your territory you are not reimbursed for gas either. Just stay away, if you're even considering this. The turnover rate is incredibly high, my time there probably 6-10 people would come and go within a week or so

Hello! Very confused by this review- our hours are 8 AM- 5 PM, so if you worked at a company that starts at 11 and knocks on residental homes then you have the wrong company. We only handle business accounts from 8-5 Monday-Friday. Thanks again
