Pros

Basically nothing this company is a scheme

Cons

This whole organization is pretty is a pyramid scheme and a front. I'm a recent graduate and though I was going to be working as a "Sales Executive" but it turned out the job was a door to door sales man. There are no "Executives" in this office. In the interview and the job description they were very misleading about what the job actually was. They kept on trying to hype me up about how much money I would be making and how I could own my own office. They train their employees to solicit and lie to people about the products they are selling. It's completely sketchy. The hours are long and I would have had to work Saturdays. The pay is minimum wage with commission. This company is disreputable and should be exposed as the scam it pretty much is.

Even at entry level, we have no 'outside door knocking' or 'B2B cold calling' positions within our business. Our clients currently outsource us to execute Retail and Events programs and we have explicit agreements preventing outside sales which is not in line with their branding policies. As far as 'minimum wage' is concerned, everyone in our business takes home a base salary consummate with their position. We actually gain a positive response during recruitment from the fact we have no 'commission only' positions, which from our experience candidates are often seeking to avoid.

Pros

Employees are focused Everyone that works here has a positive outlook on things and gives lots of support Full training Good networking opportunities A lot of diversity Working here has made me have second thoughts about the way I live my life. I've become more organized, punctual, personable, and open to new things.

Cons

In my opinion, there really aren't any cons about the company that are noteworthy enough to include in this. Some people might not like the fact that you get out of it what you put into it, but that's part of what made me better.

Pros

Opportunity to travel. I've been able to work in many places throughout the US and want to go even further when we expand internationally. No Stagnation, an abundance of growth opportunities. There's never a dull moment. It's a fast paced environment full of hard working individuals looking to achieve their goals. The working environment is extraordinarily diverse. I love that we don't have a particular type of person that fits in-- everyone can.

Cons

The challenges are that you have to really put in the effort to succeed. You cannot take any shortcuts and have a day of laziness.
