Pros

Manager was nice and funny.

Cons

I worked for NRG for over a month. In that time I was expected to drive 1.5 hours to various Walmarts making 3 hr round trips + gas I had to purchase every day. My first car broke down and I had to buy another one but I was fired for not making enough sales. Looking back, it was a blessing I was fired because I’m no longer ruining my car and using half my wages to pay for gas money. I even offered and worked 6-7 days per week sometimes. My manager was super nice but it doesn’t outweigh the negatives of this predatory company. They prey on young people who will do anything for a job.
