Pros

I got a little money. Most coworkers were nice.

Cons

You get paid minimum wage. All the "comissions" are really hard to get, employees see them rarely. You are expected to drive all over town all day and you are not compensated for gas. You are also expected to use a lot of data and memory on your phone. The services we were offering were also pretty poor, so there were unpleasant experiences trying to recommend them. You are also expected to go pitch in malls and department stores even though you are not supposed to do that, so you are constantly on the lookout for security. People get very upset sometimes and it is highly highly stressful.

Formosi Response

Thank you for posting your feedback. While no company enjoys reading posts like this, we are appreciative of the opportunity to respond. Both positive and constructive feedback give us the opportunity to address and adjust. Also, at Formosi we take pride in knowing that we actually pay every employee above the minimum wage mark for the state of CA, and we have a built in allowance for gas and cell phone usage. Our office is growing and full of smart dedicated people who believe that Formosi is a great place to work. Sales can certainly be a competitive environment but we work hard to create transparency, fairness, and support within our team. Although it appears that you are no longer an employee, I do want to encourage anyone who has constructive feedback to check in with the HR team.

Pros

Working at Formosi has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I’ve been learning and growing in ways I never imagined, and what excites me most is that there’s still so much more to explore and master. The opportunities for development here feel endless. The management team has played a huge role in my journey, they’re genuinely encouraging, forward-thinking, and always focused on the bigger picture. They’ve helped me navigate challenges, offered consistent support, and truly invested in my success. It’s rare to find leadership that not only believes in your potential but also goes out of their way to help you reach it. This career path has already been amazing, and I’m thrilled to continue expanding my skillset and applying it in ways that make a real difference in people’s lives. I’m beyond excited for what the future holds at Formosi, and I feel so lucky to be part of a team that’s passionate, supportive, and driven.

Cons

With so many new things to explore, it can be a challenge deciding what to dive into first.
