Pros
Barkbusters seems like a good organization. Lots of leads to call. High closing ratio--you just don't get paid what you should. It's a high-expectation sales environment, but they do not pay you anything.
Cons
It's presented as a sales position, however, you won't make more than $25 an hour even though you are selling dog training programs that are price in the $300-$1100 range. The ad I responded to said you only had to work 33 hrs a week and be considered full-time. After I was hired, I was told I had to work 40 hrs. I was told I needed to have a second monitor and wasn't given the option to get on on my own. I was told the cost would be $70-90 and they'd take it out of my first two checks. I was fully able to get my own monitor, but agreed because she was really pushy (red flag) about buy through them. Without verifying the cost with me, I was told the total would be $120. I got her to take off the HDMI cable because I have several and I wasn't made to pay for that. Saved myself $10! The "commission" on any sale--whether it be $300 or $1100, is $5. You get paid $12 an hour. I was schedule 8 am - 6 pm and my lunch break was scheduled at 2 pm. The manager monitored my every move for 3 days while I took calls. She would constantly IM me via skype to tell me what to click and say. I'm an experienced sales person, it was ridiculous. After I told her it wasn't going to work out, she told me if I didn't send her my training materials, she'd deduct them from my check--she even told me I needed to return a dollar shop white board she gave me or I'd be billed for it. (I have no idea what the white board was for. ) The base pay is $12 an hour. I I was told there were benefits, but it's just two dental plans--one a discount plan. If you enroll in dental, they throw in a vision discount. It's a very weird environment. Stay away
