Pros

$20/hr paid weekly and can work from home .

Cons

They make the job sound too great to be true . When interviewed 3 times , i was told you’ll be paid for 4-6 weeks of training , benefits immediately, total support and as soon as you complete training you’ll start earning high commissions. Well the training is ; say hi to all managers in the morning and spend 20 minutes doing ice breakers , then be separated into groups with people who are new like you and practice a script to cold call people and transfer them to agent. Do this 3000 yes 3Thousand times in a week and we will teach you what you’ll be doing in your department later and let you make commissio. I was hired to be a life insurance agent and instead was cold calling people who didn’t even recognize the company name and transfer them anywhere , dental , Medicare, life , auto. And the managers are in meetings all day and never respond when asked a question.

Pros

It’s a very large company.

Cons

Management is terrible in most cases. There are a few good ones, but they eventually fire them and replace them with a sycophant.
