Pros

It's a job. It pays the bills (unless you live in a high-cost area such as New York or San Francisco).

Cons

(In no particular order): 1. Outsourced HR/recruiting means you don't have an 'advocate' if you're trying to get re-hired by CCS if your program ended. 2. Too much turnover from middle to upper management along with the aforementioned outsourced recruiters means nobody will remember you for the excellent job you've done with them in the past, so don't bother going 'above-and-beyond'. 3. Concentrix, the online reporting/scheduling database is the worst, most unorganized and inefficient database ever conceived. The time it takes to do the most simple tasks is aggravating especially after a long day (if you do your reporting at home instead of on a smartphone in the store). 4. Promises from management upfront turn into lies and excuses in the end. 5. They're the type of company you work for if you don't value your time, your talent, or anything else in your life. And finally... 6. I am forced to actually give a 'star' as a rating, because they deserve none. *** Before you think I'm just 'bitter', I am not. I have worked for CCS off and on since 2002 and I've seen them change for the worse just a few years ago and they have gone downhill ever since. The professional organization I once knew and loved working for no longer exists except for their name: Creative Channel Services.

Pros

- Meeting a large number of new contacts every month in a relatively laid back professional environment - Hours are set by the employee (they just have to add up to 40 per week) - Though a bit mundane, the work is not exceptionally difficult - Quarterly bonus up to $500, decent pay - Mileage and drive time are reimbursed - Product training tools are excellent - Co-workers are typically awesome individuals

Cons

- The company folds and changes names every few years - Look up "Disorganized" in a Thesaurus. You'll find Creative Channel is a synonym - Driving in Dallas/Ft Worth traffic daily (occupational hazard really, no company car either) - Management is disconnected - No sense of purpose to company procedure and daily end game - Can be a pro, but agendas literally can change several times in a day. Everything is a "Fire Drill" - Comes with the territory I suppose (so few positions in the area), but initial training on company procedure like reporting and expenses is horrendous - Almost no vertical career opportunities. None. Great job for people with no ambition to move up
