Pros

Friendly environment when working with the genuine people.

Cons

I worked for LMC for two months and I was sold a dream, just like everybody else they employ. I could write a thesis on how awfully fake management are and how much of a sham the whole company is. They don't tell you it’s door to door until you get to your trial day (A couple of days UNPAID), they place you in really dangerous areas, management target you and make you feel like you're special and you'll go far within the company, yet when you actually make sales you never see the commission or any progression within the company. You're whisked away onto road trips, some being a 6/7 hour drive away from Brisbane. The first trip your accommodation is paid for but after that you have to pay for everything yourself. As a foreigner who was very new in Australia and clueless to how the tax system worked, I naively believed my team leader when he told me that we only had to pay 10% tax, which is completely false! I left the company just as the financial year was ending, I put in my tax return and the ATO informed me that I hadn't been paying any tax! So who knows where that 10% went every week. You're also promised that the job is Mon-Fri 9-5 which is originally what appealed to me, then as you become blindsided by the culture, a few weeks in you're doing 8-6 Mon-Sat, not including the weekly team bonding nights which they said were optional but if you said you couldn't make it they make you feel awful about it. In the end, I was doing 60+ hours for $446 a week, which approximately equates to $7.43 an hour. I also was told that Saturdays were optional to earn extra money but found the same situation as the team bonding nights, and they eventually became compulsory. All this shamelessness and I haven't even started on the actual managers yet. I noticed that workers were either foreign and new to Brisbane or extremely young and impressionable Aussies from different parts of the country, so in other words, easy targets for management to lure in. On one particular road trip, everybody got extremely drunk one night and one of the managers tried to sleep with me when I was upset because I was feeling homesick. These people encase everything that is morally wrong with society. They put on their fancy suits and live in the nice apartments that they can only afford because they’re stealing off those below them, they are the definition of a dodgy pyramid scheme! I then also found out once I’d left that the money we were taking from customers, through getting them to subscribe to a monthly charity through direct debit, only 3% was going to the actual charity! The only advice I can give is that if you have any sort of conscience, you will not work for such a disgrace of a company!

Pros

None. There are no positives.

Cons

Beware! This company will scam you! They are scammers! When I "worked" there, they got me to fill out an ABN and they tried to spin it as a positive. Saying that "You're your own boss" and that you "got to choose your own hours" Never mind the fact that the only way to make money by actually doing your job, was to spend 15 hour days door-knocking (which you're not supposed to do) I can only thank gods that the ATO is cracking down on this trash. So hopefully these people already been caught out for their slimy practices. They are a pyramid scheme! The only way to make money was to recruit other people. And if you question them on the reviews, they will lie to your face and say "it's not really door-knocking" and that "we do events." What they mean by "events" is that you'll be working in a shopping center trying to sign people up for charity subscriptions. Stay far away from them, they are scumbags. Do not EVER do business with this company. Don't work for them, don't pay for their "services." They will swindle you out of every penny.

Pros

Throws you out of your comfort zone and teaches you to work hard, while developing interpersonal skills. Knocking 150 doors a day can seem daunting, but they train you well enough to have the motivation and confidence to do it.

Cons

Recruitment process: did not know job entailed door knocking and was 100% commission-based until final phase of recruitment. During the previous recruitment stages, CEO would merely go on about how LMC was planning to expand into 6 different countries within a year, how you could be a manager (on 100k+) within 6 months, how the clients are huge multinationals, etc. He never actually said what the job entailed, which was deceiving. Cultish culture: Don't get me wrong, there are some awesome guys there. But the preday ritual of pumping each other up by yelling out and cheering the 'high rollers' of yesterday and watching motivational videos on YouTube is kinda creepy. Hard hours: Nothing more soul destroying than working 8am-8:30pm and not making a sale, on top of that you have to pay your own travel expenses to the suburbs you'll be door knocking. Dodgy invoices: Was told you make $100 a sale, I made 4 sales in my first week but got paid $347.55. The invoice did not state anything except the amount I was getting paid. A proper invoice should state and itemise exactly what the payment is for, what offsets (if any), etc. I tried to query this but was palmed off.
