This is a sell, sell, sell atmosphere, which is a good thing for some people. You must be somewhat of a self-starter as you won't get much out of training. Commission structure is rather weak, must hit around $2500 worth of sales a week just to get an extra 50 bucks in your pocket. I believe you only get 2% of sales commission from anything over 2500 dollars a week. You are strongly urged to at least hit your commission number every week, and you are highly micro-managed in the field. You must track your hits everyday from GPS phones/log sheets and record them vigorously so management can keep an EYE on you. It is a waste of time, and an attitude killer. Managers can lose allot of respect from their employees in a "Big-Brother' atmosphere like that. A collection of 3 or 4 bad weeks within a couple of months could mean bye, bye. During summer heat, you and your car will have to take a toll fulfilling door-to-door sales routes for 4-6 hrs a day, before going back to the office to cold-call the folks who didn't answer their doors. Gas compensation is a joke. Expect to work 1 or 2 Saturday mornings every month. Over time is given but it is HALF your pay instead of 1.5 (Chinese overtime). Oh yeah, and they lay off at least 65% of their sales force around mid-fall as there is not much to sell during the winter/fall seasons. Most will be given a measly unemployment and rehired the following spring.
