Sales Over Service

Pros

Work from home, always have a supervisor in chat or on call. While you will need to learn several programs they are all user-friendly and straightforward. The right supervisors truly make this job able to be tolerated.

Cons

An outdated billing method ensures customers will always call and a website prone to conveniently timed outages means even those who don't want to call will. You of course will be expected to turn these into sales. Poor little work/life balance as you will be filling in all hours and holidays. Total micro-management is usually from top-down management that has not done your job. Entry-level positions will have the highest goals - borderline unrealistic - while upper management will find ways to excuse away company failures. Year mass reinstatement of free memberships ensures it appears sales goals appear met - when in reality they aren't making the gap harder to bridge for sales each year. Members who are dissatisfied with poor service are pacified with discounts or promotions, while core issues of understaffing are never addressed.

Pros

They supported me taking off the time I need to maintain my relationship with my partner by visiting her once a month in a different state. The job is interesting and there is always something new to learn! I work with an awesome team and I am surrounded by amazing people. There is endless room for growth and moving within the company because they have their hands in so many things. This is a partial pro and partial con. You take care of almost any member needs including billing issues, disputes, questions, requests, add ons, upgrades, downgrades, complaints, etc. You can escalate it if it gets out of your paygrade or if a member requires more service than you can provide. You are a travel agent, a foreign currency exchange facilitator, a membership sales professional, a retail expert, an account manager, a sales development specialist, a customer service, representative, a roadside assistance advisor, and more. But if you like always staying busy this is great! Love my managers!

Cons

Too many things to sell. They do so much that you have to mention so many different things in every conversation. It makes it hard to have genuine conversations sometimes. But it can make it easy to hit your quota. Also most of what we sell is meant to help people or doesn't cost money. You are always busy. There is never a dull moment. You will always be calling leads, helping members, taking phone calls, researching trips, doing training, inventory management, etc. There is always something to do. Again this is a pro and a con. Because there is so much to do, I didn't get a feel for the role until about 3 months into the role. And now at 6 months into it I don't feel fully confident. This also comes from the fact that my manager trained me badly, then quit before being fired. Leaving me 3 months behind and I feel like I'm still catching up because of that. Your compensation isn't scaled based on the volume of your location. Some people make a killing because their stores get tons of traffic. They scale the quotas so smaller stores require less to hit their quota. But your chance to make a good salary is dependent on being at a large location. (With this in mind, you do also get judge on a scale of 1-5 on your quota attainment and can get an extra paycheck each month if you crush your quota. But there are bonuses and competitions which favor the bigger volume stores)
