Pros

The general consensus is the same - most of the people here are absolutely wonderful.

Cons

Here is a good title for this - they fired me while I was going thru cancer treatment! They rated me as unacceptable because I missed time for cancer treatment and did not make goals. They wrote me up for not making goal while I was still going thru cancer treatment. With that out of the way - this place if filled with favoritism - there is micro management beyond belief. They reward lying to customers. They lie to you constantly. They write you up when they change the rules - then realize that you cannot change the rules and backdate it. Outside of the fact that you will be calling elderly and those at risk every hour on the hour until they hang up on you or they finally fall out of the system after 2 or 3 weeks. Then again, you might be calling someone who an unscrupulous coworker just recycled into the system so they do not get a hit as a no sale - yes - it is that petty. And yes - even if people are calling for just free information and a free gift - you are supposed to sell them. Make your numbers - you will be written up - unless you are a favorite. They tell you this is sales and service - no - its sales.

Pros

The company will pay for you to get licensed and appointed along with paid training. Also 95% of the staff very pleasant and cordial

Cons

You can earn a nice monthly bonus if you exceed your goal. However the bar is set so high that many become frustrated from the bullying from upper management if you fall short of goal.
