Pros

None, unless you enjoy ripping people off for money that you'll never see.

Cons

First of all, if you're reading any positive reviews, be assured that management is creating accounts on GlassDoor and is propping up their own score, a trainer told me this in confidence during a smoke break... As you can read from other employee reviews, you're selling stickers with addresses of individuals who have recently moved into a particular zip code. It's cold calling to businesses, and you're required to somehow get through to an owner or decision-making person. Most of the 'deals' that are secured end up going to collections, because what business owner is going to pay $200 for a $5 sheet of addresses they can obtain themselves from a county auditor website (this ends up coming out of your sales commission later). You're required to con a number these owners into agreeing to sign up within your training period or you're fired. Most, if not all of the 'vets' and 'trainers' are habitual drug addicts who arrive to work high or drunk, and management looks the other way because they are successful con-artists for this racket of an organization. Employees are treated like livestock, only there for the owner Alan Dyer's bottom line. If you have some kind of life-event or can't be into work for some reason, you're fired without notice (it's no accident that this organization operates in an 'at-will' employment state, they wouldn't get away with this elsewhere). I've observed people terminated for completely fabricated reasons, in the middle of the workday on the sales floor. This is used as intimidation for new and existing employees. BOOM! (you're required to shout this) made another sale. If you are considering this place as an employer I would implore you to find work elsewhere (warehouse, CSR call center, grocery would all be more stable and less-stressful). Building and facilities are in ancient disrepair, atrium windows are leaking, parking lot is a disaster, bathrooms are sickening, office smell of cigarette smoke. It's only a matter of time before this company caves, STAY AWAY

Pros

There are absolutely no pros! This is the most unethical company I have ever worked for! It's privately owned and the owner leads with fear and intimidation. There is NO job security, and you can be fired without warning. The atmosphere and environment is extremely unprofessional! The foul language, offensive jokes, and ridiculous behavior is just accepted by most. I made the mistake of staying true to myself and remaining professional. I was told I was too "corporate". Really? I was thrown into the training position with NO training. The training room is video taped..(the owner has cameras everywhere so he can make sure he knows what is being said and done at all times). The tapes would clearly show the employees I trained thanking me for a wonderful job. I'm not sure if it was intimidation or what, but even though the new employees were happy I was fired for not "training the right way". Really?!..get serious. I'm so sorry that I was actually training employees in a professional manner! This company will NEVER have anyone working for them with any professionalism or proper work ethic. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!! Take it from someone who is a professional thinking I'd be working in a professional environment. I learned the hard way!!!!!!

Cons

EVERYTHING!!!...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME APPLYING AND INTERVIEWING!! SPEND YOUR TIME FINDING A REAL JOB WITH A REAL COMPANY!
