Pros
Nothing. It's a terrible company that asks us to write reviews to cover up the negative reviews that will always come because this company is a scam.
Cons
Lying.
Your company isnt a positive step in any career. My advice to anyone looking at this company... run.
Benefits.
Work life balance
The company model is one meant to sink, it will die off soon enough.

Thanks for the review. However, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Perhaps you could get in touch and explain it to us a bit better? You mentioned that we get employees to write reviews to 'cover up' the negatives. But you are an employee, and you are writing a negative review. Since you can't write more than one review on Glassdoor, where is the positive one we got you to write? Isn't it instead possible that some of your colleagues actually enjoy the job they are successful and competent at? Get in touch by email and let us know if we're missing out on something.
Met some really great people there. Got tons of experience in sales/customer service. Great opportunity for growth and a fun environment.
Cons
You are told that you will be making way more than you actually do and you work 70+ hours a week. It’s all commission and most employees are struggling to pay rent, but are told to “not let it affect your attitude.” You also have to tell interviews and new starts that you are never worried about money. If you do borrow enough money from your little brother or your mom you could make it to manager , where you run your own office. (well kind of you still answer to someone) . I still don’t know how much money managers make, it’s a “?”. But it can’t be too much if you have to take business trips in a van and chip in 20 bucks for gas.

Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback on our company. We always appreciate the opportunity to improve. Our favorite thing is to work with people who are as motivated, excited and inspired as we are on a daily basis, this is why we emphasize the amount of passion and focus we commit to everybody's training with us. We appreciate that it may seem overwhelming for some, but we firmly believe that the efforts we put in today, will create even sweeter rewards tomorrow.
Having worked with us in the past, we strongly hope you have taken away some valuable skills that you can use to secure the right job for you. We wish you the best of luck in your job search.
