Pros

In this economy if you are in need of a paycheck and have some sales background....go for it. They are always hiring people there (red flag). It is not uncommon to see at least 20 people per month go through training. Sounds like a revolving door to me. The HR department is paid by the amount of warm bodies they bring through the door not by the quality of the staff.

Cons

Yikes, Yikes and double Yikes!!!! What was I thinking to say the least? First off, they take at least 4 months of training and cram it into 1 month. Next, they never emphasize that they expect you to maintain an average of 90% on tests during training or you will be terminated. If you fail a test they do not sit with you to review mistakes nor are you allowed to take your tests home to study...You are told that you must destroy all copies of your tests. Also, you would think in a corporate setting their would be an enforced dress code and I saw some women there dressed to the point of making a truck driver blush. There is a lot of favoritism there with some people I feel that would be better suited working at 7-11. Trainers and management pick and choose who they awant more, very poor management style.

Pros

lateral movement is acceptable- if you want to try new positions it's easy to move around. You truly can work as little or as much as you want to.

Cons

management does not promote individual achievement. Employer/employee relations at times inappropriate. Very much a 'good ol boys' network

Pros

in this horrible economic situation, it was a place to pull a paycheck free food stuff in the hallways, as long as you listen to vendors tell you why their product is best hours were great, cant be beat co-workers are awesome!

Cons

favoritism of management towards certain woman employees. (wont go any further into that) the fact that after i was hired they hired groups of 20 or more people every month (extremely high turn-over and expected turn-over) management staff will de-rail any attempts at a promotion if you're not 'with the program' after leaving you can't put the place on your resume because companies will see you worked for one of the 'annoyances' that call them every day and ignore you.or blacklist you. upper management and HR dont care about their staff but would rather quietly sweep them under a rug.
