Pros

None, but Glassdoor says I have to have at least 5 words here.

Cons

Very poor management from the top down, no long-term plans, everything is last minute, commission structure and hourly pay changed with little notice, bad trainers, cut throat sales environment, horribly high churn (went from 215 agents +/- down to 60 in about 2 months - were either let go or quit from bad management). I'd be surprised to see this company still around in 2-5 years.

Pros

Upscale facilities in convenient location. Very comprehensive training program. Frequent social events within office. Computer/tech issues were frequent, but IT staff was always very responsive.

Cons

"Temp-to-hire" nature of job not disclosed until after hire. More than 50% of new agents were terminated before end of training. I made it through training but found income potential to be grossly misrepresented. In most cases, the opportunity simply wasn't there due to poor quality of company-provided "leads", and agents were not allowed to do their own prospecting. Extreme micro-management. Supervisor was a fresh graduate with no management experience.

Pros

You meet some great people, but most of them leave. Mediocre training. Benefits are alright. Decent time off policies

Cons

Micro managed out of your mind They start lying to you at the first interview. They lie about the pay, about the expanding and upward mobility. They lie about the permanent position. You go to work here and realize that you are noting more than a temp employee. They don't bring in the actual contract that you will work from until the very LAST moment. You don't find out until later that you are being paid SIGNIFICANTLY LESS than other employees The leads that you get are decided on whether you were referred to them by one of their friends and "sacred few" or by whether or not one of the management finds you attractive and wants to hit on you. Those few will get the select leads and everyone else gets the dregs. And if you are over the age of 40, the older you are the less chance you will be kept on.
