Pros

Due to the turnover you will get the chance to work on projects that exceed your current title. You will get experience you would no place else. You will also learn a great deal of what not to do to. Many of your peers will be great people, but you will come to question their and your sanity for working there.

Cons

You will not be trusted as an employee. They worry more about how many hours you are there, what time you showed up and how long you took for lunch than what your work product is. If you work here don't come late and don't take more than 30 minutes for lunch. Other items to know: You will be required to work long hours due to poor planning and not on anything truly productive You will be required to give up your personal life You will get paid below market- in many cases far below It will take months to get through the interview process and that is fast You will take tests to get hired and none will predict your ability to perform You will spend a great deal of time working hard on projects that go no place and with no purpose or application to current needs Your review will be based more on a bell curve distribution than performance. Even if you are a top performer you will get a lower rating if management feels there are three performers but your team is assigned to give out only two A + ratings. Rest assured their friends will get the top rankings. You could also get an F because every team has to give a few of those out too. Someone must not be performing is the senior management’s thinking.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.

Hearing about your day-to-day reality in sales—from lead quality to equipment needs—is incredibly valuable as we continuously work to refine our internal processes and onboarding experience. While we are glad you enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, it is disheartening to learn that you felt misled by our initial job description and interview process.
