Pros

The pay, maybe? If you consider $800 bi-weekly a decent pay.

Cons

Incredibly UNPROFESSIONAL. Majority of employees, including "managers" act like children. You drive around in a van blasting rap music until you get to your territory. The whole time no one wears seat belts and the driver is texting most of the time. Then you spread out and solicit to the neighbors by bullying people (usually the elderly or non English speakers) into setting up an appointment for products that they don't want or need. Employees openly talk about drug use and customers they've treated disrespectfully. If you have any morals, then you should stay away from this place.

Thank you for your feedback. Nearly all the feedback for the company is positive. This could make negative feedback hard to hear for some companies, but for us it is very important because this type of feedback can help us improve. Before going into more detail I would like to first clarify that the pay is $400 in your training week. The Base pay out of training is $600 a week or $1200 bi-weekly. There is also uncapped commission. We are sorry that you had a negative experience to cause your resignation after a couple of days. In these few days of training you did experience unprofessionalism and that is not what we are about. As a company we are always looking to improve and we do make mistakes. We have multiple locations, different departments, and different types of sales: Inside Sales, Home Consultant sales, Telemarketing Sales, Field Marketing and Event Marketing. We have different managers in these locations and for all of these positions. After a couple of days to consider the the whole company immoral and unprofessional is not accurate. We have grown every year and most recently we were awarded as a Top WorkPlace and also by Inc. 500 as the 130th fastest growing company in the United States. This would clearly not be possible without our talented, intelligent, professional and hard working employees and managers - in all of the different departments within HomeStar. Our employees grow organically from from Entry Level positions to be trainers, managers and run offices in their respective departments.

Pros

The Columbia office where I work has only been open for a year or so and seeing the office balloon and become more successful has been exciting and motivating for everyone. All in all, I’m really excited for my career at Homestar and feel that I’m part of something special. You feel like you’re in it together with management and everyone else here rather than a top-down thing, and it feels like more of a community.

Cons

I'm not a morning person and sometimes people are overly friendly in the morning
