Pros

No pros. I'm not a disgruntled employee. I never got in any trouble. In fact I was decent at it. I just want to send a warning to as many people as possible to help you save your time, effort, and money. So I'll start my qualms in the con category. But first hand I can tell you don't listen to the positive reviews because they are mostly fabricated by management and the "hr". I know because I have witnessed it. One was literally created by management about my friend and he didn't even know about it. This company is totally full of it. 100% liars.

Cons

Fit of all the lie from the jump. Very ambiguously tell you the ins and outs of the job in the interview. Making you think it's something your not. I know first hand. I conducted some interviews.... I couldn't feed the vague answers and blantant lies they tell the interviewees. If you don't listen to the multiple of bad reviews on here and go to the interview drill them with questions and I promise they will fold. It is NOT an office environment. And is NOT 11-8 those are just the hours you are absolutely required to be there. The real hours are like 8-9 (even 10). Because "leaders" are considered lazy and useless if they don't show up by at least 9. Some get there even earlier. And you will be pressured to do so. You do not start as an account manager. You start as an account rep which means you follow your trainer in the field on day one from 1:30-8:00. You have to be able to pitch a customer by yourself and close a sale. Because... It's DOOR TO DOOR SALES. Uverse Direct TV In sometimes trailer parks and sometimes ghettos. In it the office with a bunch of unprofessional college grads til 1 at the latest. Drive to the field in your own car and you will be looked at unfavorably if you don't have a car. Knock on doors til 8. Then leave and depending on where you are at that could easily be a 45 minute drive. Get back to the office and then they want new people to hang out just to make them feel better about their bad day in the field. Breaking down a day is solely there to make the new employees forget their bad day. Even the games after. Leaders stay until everyone leaves. 10 most of the time. Then you are strongly pressured to go to office night. You will not have a life. Sunday you are off but so exhausted from the week you won't do anything. 100% commissioned based. And they justify it by saying there are two people afraid of 100 % commission: lazy people and people who think they can't do it. But the twister is even if you get someone to sign up and they cancel you don't get paid for that sale. Fact is you can literally have $0 checks because of this. Because of the high pressure sales tactics they teach you. The biggest con is the managers are bona-fide liars. They will literally lie to your face. They rush people out at one because they have interviews coming in every day 3-4 a day and they don't want the interviewees to see the employees in their field clothes. It's all a disguise. Atmosphere in the office is designed to make the employees feel better about their career. You could easily be knocking on doors for 2 years before being promoted to assistant managers who still knock on doors from 3:30 to 8:00. Even managers sometimes go to the field if they don't have enough reps. Even the manager of the entire office can still fail because of no reps or growth. It's all based on growth. The need to con new people as much as they can to build the office to promote out people so the manager can get an override from that new office. Good luck building a team though. As soon as the new people see what it's all about they either quit or stay because they are desperate. The people who succeeded are just really good at getting people brainwashed people to follow them to the end of the earth. Even Hitler had followers... Employees reading this please post your real feeling about your 100% commission Door to door 8-10 sales job. The managers can't alter or remove them and they are anonymous. The manager will come up with some cheeky response to this trying to negate what I say but you are the real voice. If you still want to go to the interview and take the job because they give one to literally anyone and will make you feel like you earned it, then good luck. You're going to have a long life.

Pros

I LOVE THIS COMPANY! I recently got promoted out of training. It took me a little longer than most people because of my shy personality. But everyone was so nice and helpful when it came to me not understanding something. Not a single person gave up on me and they all made sure I was progressing every day. Even the two girls up front had a lot to do with motivating me every day when I came in, they were always smiling and pushing me. I am so excited to learn and develop more and grow with this company!

Cons

Absolutely nothing!! Except maybe we need a parking lot for employees only! :)

Pros

I've been working for 6 months since graduating college and I've learned more then I did in 4 years at college! Everyone is so positive and wants each person to succeed just as much as themselves! It is like a family outside of family. The management team is so down to earth and just really genuine. I know exactly what I'm working toward and can't wait to run my own office! I get to travel, hangout with my coworkers after work, go to some cool places and work with people I now consider friends... not many places offer and actually follow through with that. I determine how much I'm worth, meet new people every day whose lives I get to change even on the smallest of levels.

Cons

If I don't do well I don't have anyone to blame it on but myself! ha but seriously how can I have a complaint about this company? They've given me so much and will continue to and only ask in return that I put in 100% effort. I have to actually work to get I want! How rude?!! ha Too many people my age feel so damn entitled... I'm just happy they gave me this opportunity and I don't plan on wasting it!

Hello and thank you for writing a review about our company. We are glad to hear about your experience so far with our company, and am excited to see your growth potential into management! In today's growing industry of competitive business, it is hard to find an opportunity that matches what the candidate is looking for to what the company is offering. Any career is hard work to get the most out of, especially one that is merit based because there are so many competitive people clawing and scratching to reach the pinnacle. I am glad to read your advice column...it made me chuckle. In today's age of social media and online activity, everyone wants to give their opinion and for it to be heard, but few are qualified to give their 2 cents because they are not in a position to speak on behalf of that topic. I look forward to seeing you continue to grow and develop yourself. P.S. keep working hard and Nashville will be just the beginning for you!
