      Pros

      Casual dress code and the cafe. Thats it!

      Cons

      Pretty much their entire business model. This isnt a business, its a popularity contest and there is NO opportunity there for advancement. Even if you are one of the chosen few to get promoted it will most likely be a HUGE paycut. Thats right, to get promoted costs you money! The turnover rate there is amazingly high and even as one of the top salesmen in company history you cannot make good money because every month the managers meet about how they can cut your commission! It boggles my mind that they have grown to what they have but I guess screwing over all of your employees will get you there. Plus they can fire you at any moment for whatever reason. I left because I couldnt take any more of there BS and even as one of the highest payed agents in the whole center, the pay wasnt enough to justify the mental stress and anguish they put you through. Out of 13 agents I trained with only 2 remain employed there and both are very unhappy. What red ventures does is take advantage of the economy and they target people straight from college so they can pry on kids that never worked in the real world so they wont realize how bad they are getting taken advantage of. Plus they make it seem cool by permitting a dress code that has few restrictions. To anyone reading this review please think of this. Lets face it nobody likes there job but red ventures takes it to another level. When you and many other coworkers are forced to take medication for the stress and mind games they play, then you know something is seriously wrong. It is by far the worst company I have ever worked for and I have no other reason to write this review other than to warn people before they make a very bad decision. For those that dont listen to my review and the many other similar reviews and accept a job there (btw they hire everyone so dont feel too special) you will most likely think this is the best company to work for as i thought for a while, but after 3-6 months you will then realize what I was trying to tell you!

      Pros

      Ability to make some large monthly commision checks, (3k-4K) as a top performer. Youthful work environment with generally good people to pass the time with.

      Cons

      Darwinian at its worst. Sales team managers are constantly under pressure to maintain stratospheric goals, so even it you had the most sales for the year and then happen to land on a bad month, your head could be on the chopping block like everyone else's. Had to also defend personal sales ethics on multiple occassions against Team Leaders who wanted to push unethical sales tactics on the team in efforts to reach goals and beat other teams. Unsavory.

      Pros

      The only reason to work for Red Ventures the nice co-workers and that you get a paycheck every two weeks.

      Cons

      The downside to Red Ventures is that the information they tell you in the interview isn't what actually happens. They will tell you one thing about your job duties and expect you to do something completely different. They will tell you that you can make $85,000 your first year but in reality it's more like $30,000 a year. They want you to be aggressive and pushy with the sales calls even if the person isn't interested whatsoever in the product. You are expected to sale on every call, however it's not possible to sell when the person hangs up on you before you get to speak to them or if you call outbound and you get an answering machine then the call still counts against you. The environment isn't suited to helping the associates succeed but just make it. In order to make it at Security Choice you must be able to deal with rejection on every call and hear "No" many times or deal with the customers hanging up on you constantly. You must be able to have a short term memory quickly and quickly refocus because you will get another call immediately. I personally would not recommend this company to someone with a family (wife & kids) because the demands and expectations will interfere with you family life.
