Pros

I came into the company with zero sales experience and the desire to learn. They have such a great onboarding and training program where you meet every morning to train and practice with some of the best sales people in the company, as well as give you a playbook to guide you in targeting the right customers and how to do it. People pay thousands of dollars for this kind of training. I grew so much from it and stepped outside of my comfort zone to really learn how to effectively sell. Also, very flexible daily schedule. You make it your own.

Cons

Base pay will be on the low side, but you have to be willing to hustle and put in everything you have to learn how the sales game works to meet goals and increase your profit. I took on the role to learn, so it took me longer to see that pay increase, so it essentially lowered my base pay making it difficult for me to stay in the role financially. Also expect early AM starts.

Pros

After college, I dabbled in a few different industries, but couldn't really find a place where I felt like I could both add value, and gain something for myself at the same time. I searched online to see what was out there, and was intrigued by The So Cal Group's Leadership Development Program. I was a little intimidated by the sales and marketing industry at first, but I quickly realized I could master the skills I needed, if I followed their outlined training program. I'm really glad I stuck with it because, I feel like so far I've gained a lot of other transferable skills that I can use no matter where I end up in life. After I mastered the basics of the campaign, I was more involved in the business training portion of their Leadership Program. They coach and develop employees on topics like business finance, Franklin Covey priority management, interviewing, training others, public speaking, and business development. I think it's great that I get all this business experience by showing up to work willing to learn.

Cons

The only reasons I think people wouldn't like working for the company would be if they don't want to work hard or be asked to perform, or if they don't want to put in the effort to learn basic sales and marketing. You have to have a student mentality, good work ethic, and good attitude. If you don't, this is not for you.
