Pros

Got at least a paycheck every 2 weeks, though it was typically wrong.

Cons

Where do I begin...... RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.... I was incredibly excited to start this new career at select quote with all of the lies they told me during the interview process. They will show you a lamented sheet with all the "money" you're suppose to be making on "average" which ended up being a complete lie!!!! During the training period you will have to cram to pass test and such which wasn't an issue, but your paycheck is based off of how you perform. They will tell you that if you perform great on test you'll get a certain pay out based on a tiering system that they have, but little do you know, only about 6-7 people will ever hit the $1400 bonus on their check. Almost every person I spoke with said they couldn't pay their rent during this process which I've actually never heard of before. They give you $9.00 an hour and change which in Denver is an absolute joke!!! Annnnd your going to be on a higher pay scale (taxes), so good luck on sustaining your independence. Trainers are the absolute worst except for Ted. Ted's (Teds the dude) the only person that knows whats going half the time with with no support he was run thin (which was absolutely understandable). Completely unprofessional environment in regards to checks being constantly incorrect, sales not being counted in the system, favoritism to people that hung out with managers, constant changes in the sales compensation!!!! I left a good paying job for this nightmare and i'm still recovering. I still haven't even gotten my last check with my PTO. I started with a class of 100 and at the end only 48 people remained until the end (December 7th). Afterwards about 15 more left, and never looked back I was one of them. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!! They will make it seem like you'll make so much money, but they totally screwed us. Don't believe me? Just ask ANYONE STILL THERE!!!! I've cried myself to sleep with all of the debt I have now from being in the negative for so long. Now I can speak about the required hours.... they will expect at least 10 plus hours a day from you and work every single day Monday through Sunday. You heard me right, EVERY SINGLE DAY and your paycheck for a single person with no dependents can expect to make after taxes around $600. Oh that doesn't add up? Yeah I know!!! Try to fight it, I dare you! lol. I have no idea of how any of this was even legal??? Oh, and the class before us started with 30 people and now maybe 7 are there, so you beware. If I would have read a comment like this before I started I wouldn't be in this situation now. Please please choose another place of employment. Good luck! Oh btw don't trust the comments, they told us in TRAINING to sign and write reviews, so that's that lol.
