Pros

Amazing training, cool people to work alongside, good commission scale for the ticket prices you sell, can work independently away from the office, company paid trip (not including airfare). Upper management cares about the sales division

Cons

100% commission including car and gas money. It may not seem like a big deal but the amount of driving you do they need something in place to keep you on the road. However the offices are hiring at an alarming rate probably because they need to protect themselves from their high turnover rate especially during the winter months. Also the appointments were supposed to be within a limited number of miles from my home address and I would end up having to drive across Long Island with little time or notice. You are on call everyday and must WAIT around for work to come your way, this may seem nice but it is a horrible time-management job where you're always on the edge of your seat and afraid to commit to anything until you know the day is done. Lastly, they keep 2/3 of the commission you earn-meaning if you sell $900 you will only get $300 from it for your first paycheck. Essentially they keep the commission you're owed "as insurance" however its just so that the money stays in their name longer so they can recoup the interest off of it. They manage your money for you and when you do finally resign or get laid off it is like pulling teeth to receive your final checks, not to mention they take out taxes from a 1099 check.

Pros

Great culture. You’ll make genuine friends here and have a ton of support. Competitiveness is fun and not toxic. Training is top notch, but hard. Pay is at thrive if you follow their process.

Cons

Communication in training schedule isnt great. Things tend to change last minute so if you’re a parent it’s hard. You might have a lot of down time between appts but again, if you have children they will basically be with a nanny 24/7 unless you have a stay at home parent. Training pay is not great so you need to have savings going in, but will end up being worth it.
