Pros

The interview process was fast and efficient I understood what I was getting into when I took the job Video training was probably the best part of the training process

Cons

My in-person training was 95% my trainer trying to force me into joining his religious cult and 5% phone calls from the office because I faked heat stroke to get out of having to be anywhere near my trainer Management is excellent at belittling their employees I've been accused of faking illness after having explained to my manager that I have an auto-immune disorder (during my training as well as during the interview process) - someone within the office got the flu and I ended up catching the same thing shortly after and which caused me to become unable to work, 2 days later I was back in the office and basically ridiculed in front of the entire sales team for needing a sick day while multiple members of the team were even saying I shouldn't be allowed to work with how sick I was (no insurance or benefits until you hit 90 days of employment so I was not going to pay the bare minimum of $800 for a doctor to tell me there's nothing they can do but wait for the illness to run it's course)

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
