Pros

They supported me taking off the time I need to maintain my relationship with my partner by visiting her once a month in a different state. The job is interesting and there is always something new to learn! I work with an awesome team and I am surrounded by amazing people. There is endless room for growth and moving within the company because they have their hands in so many things. This is a partial pro and partial con. You take care of almost any member needs including billing issues, disputes, questions, requests, add ons, upgrades, downgrades, complaints, etc. You can escalate it if it gets out of your paygrade or if a member requires more service than you can provide. You are a travel agent, a foreign currency exchange facilitator, a membership sales professional, a retail expert, an account manager, a sales development specialist, a customer service, representative, a roadside assistance advisor, and more. But if you like always staying busy this is great! Love my managers!

Cons

Too many things to sell. They do so much that you have to mention so many different things in every conversation. It makes it hard to have genuine conversations sometimes. But it can make it easy to hit your quota. Also most of what we sell is meant to help people or doesn't cost money. You are always busy. There is never a dull moment. You will always be calling leads, helping members, taking phone calls, researching trips, doing training, inventory management, etc. There is always something to do. Again this is a pro and a con. Because there is so much to do, I didn't get a feel for the role until about 3 months into the role. And now at 6 months into it I don't feel fully confident. This also comes from the fact that my manager trained me badly, then quit before being fired. Leaving me 3 months behind and I feel like I'm still catching up because of that. Your compensation isn't scaled based on the volume of your location. Some people make a killing because their stores get tons of traffic. They scale the quotas so smaller stores require less to hit their quota. But your chance to make a good salary is dependent on being at a large location. (With this in mind, you do also get judge on a scale of 1-5 on your quota attainment and can get an extra paycheck each month if you crush your quota. But there are bonuses and competitions which favor the bigger volume stores)

Pros

if you build relationships internal you have a great chance in advancing in your career. The career paths are unlimited. you can start out on the phones making 12.00 hr and end up as a manager in data analytics making 102k annually

Cons

Its convenient but they will lowball you when negotiating pay if your an internal employee considering they already have insight on exactly what your getting paid now so they will consider you receiving a good pay jump from your last position instead of what the market if for the current position your are being promoted to. For example if your new position rand is 60k-90k the will start you off at 60k, knowing that you where making 42k. They will not negotiate, its a take it or leave it.
