Pros

If I can think of one its the training.

Cons

They treat the new sales agents like animals. They keep adding more lies to make it seem like a great place to work, and they say it's very rewarding. When in reality, you get nothing for your good performance. I can tell when people are being taken advantage of, and this is a perfect example. If there's one thing they do well, it is that they sugarcoat everything. HR will try to dodge you if you have any questions, and do whatever it takes to put you through their grinder. They also use your "nesting" time to get as many sales as they can from you before they spit you out. Anyone who thinks this is a good job is either corporate training from one of their other locations, or doesn't know how to be treated like an adult. I also think that having to raise your hand to get up to go to the bathroom is ridiculous.

Pros

atmosphere is lively and you co workers are easy to get along with and the performance managers have all graduated from the top schools in the nation

Cons

as a sales agent they force you to work from 8-5 monday - friday if you ask to work weekends or put in overtime they wont' let you. the starting pay for a typical sales agent is about $80,000 per year which is not bad for a start but the performance mangers are never there and always getting time off and they make well over $150,000 per year, so i don't see why that is. the great part about the job is your never locked to a headset like some of the posts on here suggest. you can get up whenever you want and as many times as you like, especially after a rough call, workforce is only there to fill some empty seats because being a workforce manager is really a brainless job, all they do is monitor how many times per day you use the restoom if you go over 10 times in a day they lock the restroom so only people with a certain code can get in. the performance mangers when they are their mostly watch movies and television and look up occasionaly to see if your on the phone. I'm not a sales agent anymore because i found a job that i went to school for. but if your looking for a long time career red ventures is the place, sales will never be the same once you've worked here.

Pros

flexibility, free trip, office building is cool. there's generally a laid back atmosphere and co-workers and peers are in good humor and have a positive attitude. There's good lunch options nearby. gym on campus.

Cons

The work is very bland and cookie-cutter. It's direct marketing, after all. You work very fast and cut corners to get things done as quickly as possible. Constantly changing priorities and no project management create an impossible work environment. As a designer you're at the bottom of the work hierarchy, so basically anyone in the company can come to your desk and give you work, and they do. It's very stressful and the pay is lower than other companies in the area. It's a stepping-stone job.
