Pros

None. Not a one. Pros were leaving.

Cons

Terrible company to work for. Benefits....trash. Good luck finding someone to take their insurance. Basic PTO and 401k plan. Instead of monetary bonuses you get to earn points and pick prizes out for catalog....what are we doing....selling candy bars door to door? This company BLATANTLY LIES to customers about their products being safe for children and pets. Imagine taking a call where someone is calling in due to the dog eating the pellets and dying. Absolutely terrible commission plan. 2% per sale for pre pay and 1% for payment plan sales. This equates to pennies on the dollar. Terrible culture. Instead of growing and honing in a sales reps skills they are thrown right to the lions handing dialing cancels for weeks to months of people who hate this company or dialing cold and I mean COLD leads. Grinding down as many agents as possible to burnout and quit or get fired for not meeting metrics. Avoid this company at all costs if you value your mental health. This company does not care about employees just the dollars they make the suits.
