Pros
What job provides the ability to not only change your resume from minimum wage to 60k+ a year but also gives you the confidence and the interpersonal skills to enjoy life to the fullest? From a professional perspective, Solstice provides you with the ability to sell while using a systematic approach. By doing so I am now able to move to any other job and make sales without "talent" nor "charisma." But more importantly, I now have the ability to move to any other job due to the fact that every job comes down to selling. For example, interviewing, customer service, tips in hospitality settings, and etc. Then once a candidate is able to accomplish sales for the easiest product, they teach you how to train others. Imagine putting on your resume that you've trained 10,20, to even 50 people to accomplish sales? Who's more valuable to an employer? The fact that you can do 10 sales or teach 15 people to do 10 sales? Everyday Solstice provides workshops for every level. Whether that's new people learning about sales or veterans teaching the new starts. They even teach you how to screen and conduct interviews to give the right candidates the human resource skills. The last and most important skill is the fact that Solstice gives their account managers the autonomy and the skills to build and manage their own sales team. All of these skills were attained for me in less than a year. I went from a first year University student looking for a minimum wage job to now being recruited for 70k+. From a personal impact: I walked in thinking that this is one of those cut throat sales companies. However after just one day, I realized that everyone here truly wants you to do well. The funniest part was after being here for more than a year, I can truly say that everyone here became my family. I've never worked at a place that was so supportive while helpful. This place has given me the confidence and self worth after pushing my self to talking to so many people. I truly believe more than the resume building skills to achieve 70-80k jobs just after a year, the relationships, the confidence, and the self worth that these coaches teaches you to have has been the biggest impact. So let me ask you, do you know a job that can give you sales skills, training skills, interviewing skills, human resource skills, interpersonal skills, and management skills in less than a year while working with the most ambitious, professional, funny co workers?
Cons
Not really a con but just a recommendation to people who want to apply. Extremely hard interviewing process. You will not even be looked at unless you come in with either a suit or a tux. It is a 3 part interviewing process. First you will meet with the owner who has the fastest record of opening up a sales office in North America. You must be able to not only hold a conversation but you need to give examples why you can represent a fortune 500 company in the best light. At the end she will ask you what is your social intelligence and make sure you can answer with a great example that shows you can talk with every demographic. They will only bring back 2-50 interviews to the second. This is the stage where you will meet with veterans leaders who will see if you are the right fit. Make sure you relate with these interviewers to get them to like you. After the veteran leaders talk to the manager, then she will call you to let you know if you've been hired or not. SO MAKE SURE YOU IMPRESSIVE THEM ESPECIALLY CHRISTINE THEIR RECRUITER!!
