Pros

It was a learning experience. I learned to recognize and stay away from this type of "job."

Cons

This "company" is a scam. You are told that you will be involved in business management or marketing but it's a lie. You will be hired to stand all day in a big box store (home depot, best buy, etc.) to push a product on people who don't want anything to do with it or you. You will be expected to achieve unreal sales goals, and you will be "pumped up" in meetings and told that you will make good commission, but then you will go to the sales floor only to realize that no "customers" want anything to do with you. You will drive a lot, work 6 days a week, and you will be compensated very poorly. The turnover in this company is very high. The job is talked up by interviewers and current employees to snag new, unsuspecting job-seekers. Once people are hired and realize that it's all a sales scam and they barely get minimum wage for 50+ hours a week, they run for the hills. If you think you are good at sales and want a sales job, I still advise you to look for something more legitimate.

Pros

They offer great exposure to several clients and hands on marketing/sales experience. This job has been a great out of college experience for me because I've been able to see what a direct marketing approach looks like without having to go door to door or be a telemarketer. It's also helped me learn about management and what it takes to move up in a company that provides real opportunities without having to sit behind some person who has been here for 25 years.

Cons

It is sales focused initially and that's definitely the hardest thing for me since I didn't know if I would be good at sales. However, they do compensate for that which is nice.
