Pros

Great products with excellent customer service.

Cons

Surrounded by prima donnas at field level management! We/they promote individuals who have not performed or suceeded into district management positions without even winning a Spectrum Award! Those who have stated that we promote based on performance needs to revise their statements. I'm all for diversity but in order to continue this drive forward we need to put people in leadership roles that HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL and have PERFORMED IN THE TRENCHES!

Going Downhill...still a chance to recover

Pros

Benefits, Work relationships (because we battle the stress together), possible total compensation (bonuses), possibility for advancement (if you're willing to pick up your family and move)

Cons

LOOONG hours (not 44-48 you get paid for, more like 55+ and not being compensated because over time is "not allowed"), VERY stressful environment, unrealistic requirements, short staffed stores, MICROMANAGEMENT in EVERY aspect of your job, spend more time logging "lead generations calls" than actually making sales, just has become a big joke

Pros

Business and sales experience for resume building.

Cons

Long hours, holidays, weekends. Impossible goals. Work alone, short handed all the time. Lunch is rare. No time to achieve what needs to be done. Not enough staff to properly assist customers the way the company instills in you.
