Pros

I mean honestly… not a thing. Thank you with providing me with an understanding of how not to treat others.

Cons

No pay. You’re “promised” $300 to $500 a day if you’re able to meet their commission standards; only to find out each sale you make could MAYBE be giving you a commission of $30 at most. If doing the math correctly, and you were to make exactly 25 sales a day, as expected, you’d make $750 a day! In a week that $4500! However, it’s THE MOST unrealistic expectation, given the places you go to half the time don’t service that area anyway. You’d be fortunate to make 1 sale a day. You can do the math on that and explain how that is acceptable. Specifically after being told by other employees and the “CEO” himself that you would be compensated for unmade wages. No compensation for gas; if you are “lucky” enough to be someone in the “office” that has car you’re expected to drive anywhere and everywhere. Often I drove a minimum of 3 hours back and forth from the store I was required to go to and the office. You’re required to work a minimum of 70 hours and if you don’t make the 25 sales a week as required, expect your 1 day off to be gone. I had a condition which refused me from standing for long periods of time; and although I’d stand for 10 hours in the store and be alright, don’t expect to be able to take a breathe when walking into the “office”, as you’ll be aggressively yelled at for sitting or leaning in any way. I lost anything and everything I had because of this “job”, including my ability to feel good about the work I do anywhere.

Pros

Met some really great people there. Got tons of experience in sales/customer service. Great opportunity for growth and a fun environment.

Cons

You are told that you will be making way more than you actually do and you work 70+ hours a week. It’s all commission and most employees are struggling to pay rent, but are told to “not let it affect your attitude.” You also have to tell interviews and new starts that you are never worried about money. If you do borrow enough money from your little brother or your mom you could make it to manager , where you run your own office. (well kind of you still answer to someone) . I still don’t know how much money managers make, it’s a “?”. But it can’t be too much if you have to take business trips in a van and chip in 20 bucks for gas.
