Pros

None they never paid me.

Cons

This company makes employees work 9 hrs a day for less than minimum wage. Also, they make you drive to "Events" and never refund you for gas or mileage. Events consist of going to Walmart and Best Buy to offer xfinity and they don't even give you appropriate lunches and breaks. I worked with them right after graduating college and they never paid me for the days I worked with them. When I confronted them about my salary they got defensive and aggressive about the issue. This company is honestly a scam and is really sad to see how they take advantage of recent graduates and people who just want to start a career. My advice is to stay away from them and to report them if you can. The way they operate goes against California laws. (I worked at the Freemont location).

Pros

Some of the people there are cool, that's really about it.

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE. The company is an MLM (Multi Level Marketing) scheme. All those reviews that say "GREAT OPPORTUNITY", "AMAZING WORK ENVIRONMENT" or any of those big adjective words is a tell tale sign of an MLM and that it's a fake review to bring up their score. If you're wondering what an MLM is, it's a company that's structured like a Pyramid scheme. You realize this during your first "Pre-Management" meeting where they explain that your "Leader" gets a bonus based on the commissions you make and how once you make account manager you also get to build your own team and earn bonuses based off of how much your team makes off commissions. Those bonuses make it all the way up the ladder to the person who hired your boss and so on. They tell the new employees that they don't hire people with prior sales experience because they only hire good honest people but that's BS because a person would prior sales experience would have caught on that this place is a scam. You're basically working 6 days a week 10 hours a day no overtime pay and you're driving to "events" which are really just stores like Walmart, Best Buy, and Fry's to pitch to people Xfinity to no end. They go after and hire young kids out of high school and college and people who are down on their luck because they know you're impressionable enough for them to mold and indoctrinate into their system. Don't work here it's a waste of your time.
