Pros

There are no pros to working for Douglas Mitchell unless you are one of his personal friends

Cons

This company hires on anyone that walks in off the streets regardless of criminal records and drug test results then sends them out to people's houses to push sales. They train their team members to be overly pushy and to not leave until a sale is made. The owner and CEO is a hothead who you can regularly hear getting into arguments with his upper management or degrading and making fun of other employees. The environment is all about image and looking professional but none of the employees or the contracted sales team acts professional in any way. NOTE: every review on this board was created under the command of Douglas Mitchell with the threat that if you had a Con about his company that you should not be working there

Unfortunately, we had to terminate one of our longtime employees and this review is a result of that. However, we'd still like to address the criticism. We cannot hire anyone with a felony, theft related charges, or a failed drug test. There are exceptions for individuals who have had their convictions deferred depending on the length of time since their case. These exceptions are decided on a case by case basis and are not a given by any means. We use a sales philosophy called information based selling; we show a customer how we can genuinely improve their lifestyle with our product. The days of hard-nosed, pushy sales are over. Today’s consumers have a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips 24 hours a day so they’re too smart and too well informed for that, nor is it part of our mantra. The CEO Doug Mitchell is passionate about this company and the people in it, that's why it's lasted 5 years when most sales companies crumble with in the first two. We wouldn't say it's all about looking professional; we wear jeans on Fridays ;-). We do encourage employee reviews as does every company. We also encourage cons when they’re constructive to learn where we can grow. We have some of the best talent in the industry so the idea that we would threaten our employees or contractors is self-destructive. We do appreciate the feedback and opportunity to respond.

Pros

I became a dealer partner for Argenta this year. Prior to joining Argenta, my business was not performing to my expectations - but I was in control. I was reluctant to put my business, my manager, and my reps in the hands of a team with which I had no experience. The dealer partnership sounded like the solution to all of my problems. To my surprise - IT WAS. I could not be happier with the care and effort the team from Argenta has poured into helping me build my business. Tasks that are not my forte are no longer a problem. But when I have a suggestion, THEY LISTEN. They are willing to accommodate. That was most important to me. I went from being a small dealer with little support, to a partner with a voice. They are good to me, but more importantly, good to my reps and my customers. They offer opportunity. If you can work hard, they will give you the resources and support to be successful.

Cons

D2D is what it is. Commission is what it is. It is not for everyone. THAT'S OK! As a rep getting started, it requires full commitment. You cannot come into this opportunity and "test the waters". All in, or out.
