Pros

Big talk of big pay. Promise of $1000 sign-on bonus. "No negative reinforcement" vowed. The large paycheck offered only lasts 60 days, maximum. After that, compensation is based strictly on alleged performance standards. There is one, half day of training. Sink or swim. Zero real support.

Cons

Where to start????? Cold, nasty office. One sink. In the bathroom. No coffee. No refreshments. "Interrogation-Style" lighting designed to burn retinas out of employees' heads. Horrible. loud music blaring all day. Nine-hour work shifts. Office located in horrible, dangerous neighborhood. Management out of touch and out of town. One call sales or else. "Wham. Bam. GImme money, Ma'am." mentality. Varying rules for every employee. Some sell ads at one price, some at another price. For the exact same ads. Buyer beware.

Pros

They’re good at selling themselves to potential employees.

Cons

I left my company of 5 years with the promise that this new company was going to take me under their wing and teach us the ways to make $75k+ per year. The trainer and the CEO stated time and time again that the new hires weren’t expected to get a sale the first day or even the 2nd day. We were told we’d be able to listen to to senior reps on the phones, that never happened, we were told the senior reps would close our sales for us, not even they had the skills to do it. Something makes me think they hire as many people as possible just to have them sign the non compete so they won’t have any competition after the owner ripped the idea off another company. I was let go half way through my 2nd day “because I wasn’t a good fit.” I seeked out help from the tenured reps 3-4 times in the 2 days. I was there looking for advice only to receive half hearted/scripted responses. I feel like this company genuinely doesn’t make enough money to support the amount of people they hire, literally 5/5 new hires were gone on the 2nd day, one of them even made a sale the first day! I was told to be more enthusiastic while another sales rep who was fired was told to be less enthusiastic, this company doesn’t know its rear from its head, I just hope someone reads this review before interviewing, definitely stray away from this one.
