Pros

This position is great for those who are competitive. You learn a great deal about direct marketing, sales, business relations, etc. Apparently you can make great money within 6-9 months if you perform well.

Cons

You're treated as expendable. If you offer a criticism, you're regarded as not being a team player and/or complaining. You make 8.25 to travel all over Clearwater and surrounding areas to attempt to sell products at Sam's Clubs. Of course, if you sell enough, you'll make commission as well. You're told to walk all over the store to sell products which, in my opinion, is unethical. I don't know who in their right mind thinks it's okay to try to sell bed sheets to someone while they're in the produce section. Customers have even complained to managers, and rightfully so. You should only be allowed to market at your booth. Higher-ups encourage you to practically run yourself into the ground with long work hours + team meetings before (and sometimes after) your shift. Being tired, ill, or stressed is never an excuse for under-performing and I've witnessed two people have anxiety attacks over this job. If you're not prepared for "the grind", do not take this position. I tried to tough it out for as long as I could, but I had to bail for the sake of my mental health. You really are made to feel horrible about yourself if you don't perform up to their standards, and I could only take that for so long.

Pros

I've been working for this company for about 4 months now, and I have gained more experience and knowledge within this program than I would have ever gained from another company. The program that is offered here is giving me so many opportunities to help better and grow my success. I am valued as a business partner rather than an employee. I can't wait to see where this program is going to take me in a couple more months!

Cons

People might start this job with the mindset that this program will be given to them without putting in hard work and dedication. Doing the minimal effort will not advance anyone but only hinder them from completing the program towards ownership.

Pros

People were nice, fluid workplace

Cons

Structured like an MLM so its hard to move up in the company and make more money. Sales associates selling organic cleaner were encouraged to spray it in our mouths to make the sale. I did not enjoy essentially drinking cleaner.
