Pros

None , they lie all the time

Cons

The base pay is $500 dollars for over 60+ hours a week. They lie about the commission. I was told that I would get base plus commission. Then I was told I would get paid base + commission ( if I collected more than $600). Then someone else was told that they would get paid base or commission, which ever was more. The company had me driving out of town ( at least an 1 hour away) two or 3 times a week and they never told me where I was going ahead of time and would say that no one knew where I was going until the morning off. The company never fully paid out millage or gas. Saturdays are supposed to be a half day (9am-12pm, which I later found out was really 9am-3pm) , one day I had to be somewhere for 1pm and I was told that they didn’t know if I was going to get my full base pay. I told that this was because they didn’t know if I had made 40 hours that week even though I had put in over 50 hours already. They told someone else that they don’t count hours. They will find any excuse to have you working 60hours a week and barely pay you. They claim it’s because you are working for charities. However, even charities pay a living wage . They have an extremely high turn over and they don’t care. At one of the team gatherings at Top Golf , I over heard team mates laughing and saying they didn’t think certain employees were going to make it past a week, and acted as if it was normal for people to constantly quit. They prey on young people by telling them they can make a lot of money that they will never see and try to tell them that they are doing it for a good cause so it shouldn't matter if they can never pay their bills. They have you standing outside of businesses begging people for money in business suits no matter what the weather is like. After driving around standing outside all day , you have to go back to the office to have meetings . These meetings could be had in the 1-3 hour drives back into town. The company promised I would be working 9am-6pm and Saturday 9am-12pm. However I wasn’t getting home until 8:30pm every night.

Pros

They do a good job at staying positive and creating an environment that promotes professional and personal growth.

Cons

It exploits the community and raising funds by treating all interactions as less than supporting a cause and more like selling and hassling willing patrons for more just because its how we make quota and literally get paid. The conference that is promoted as a great networking opportunity is so exclusive that there is no external information available in form of research and I found that this exact business model is spread across the country verbatim down to the same structures. They dangle being a CEO in your face however its not really a CEO its more of a director of a new franchised location with the big man at the top earning all the profit.
