Pros

High positive energy from other employees Encourages you to do your best everyday

Cons

• Assumes you can start right away, did not formally ask when you can officially start and if not communicated they count as “call outs” • Did not specify what hours you’re really going to work (ex. said training hours were going to be 930am-7pm Mon-Fr & Sat 930am-430pm, but realistically it was 8am-10/11pm Mon-Sat) • ^ Also ties into not keeping track of hours you’re working so you’re for sure going to be overworked • Pushed to sell all your products which affects how long you’ll be working in a day (the longer it takes you to sell all your products, the longer your work day will be) • Lists different positions on LinkedIn but no matter what you apply for you’re going through the same long hour training as everyone else

Pros

travel to homeless to help communities free phone service for less fortunate

Cons

* Compensation structure is not clearly explained upfront — advertised earnings can be misleading and are primarily commission-based with no guaranteed base pay * Expectations around hours are high, often including extended days and weekend work without overtime compensation * Role responsibilities differ significantly from what is described during the interview process * Limited transparency around advancement — “management track” progression is unclear and may not align with initial expectations * No formal benefits offered (healthcare, PTO, etc.), which may be a concern for long-term stability * Workplace culture can feel high-pressure, with a strong emphasis on recruiting and sales targets * Professional boundaries were not always maintained in certain work settings (e.g., travel and shared transportation) * Online reviews may not fully reflect the typical employee experience * Leadership communication could be more direct and consistent regarding expectations and company structure * High turnover suggests challenges with retention and overall job satisfaction - no real values, these people don’t have hearts for customers or the program
