Pros

The training program, gave me a wealth of business/marketing knowledge in an accelerated time period and improved my communication skills.

Cons

The training program took a lot of my once available free time. I wasn't able to be around friends and family as much as I became accustomed to.

Pros

After high school I took the alternate route and started workng two jobs after being employed for three years and had little growth, positions were limited and promotions depended on who you know. Then i found new era. Where its performanced based. Where I can show that I am a hard worker and am appreciated for my efforts and where i determine how fast i grow and get promoted. They are accepting of individuals that migh not have the experience or degree but are willimg to learn because they take the time to train individuals to their fullest potential. They develope skillsets that any employer would love their associates to have. .

Cons

Being such a fast pace program it is time consuming and its a challenge to juggle personal life

Pros

* Public Speaking & networking with others

Cons

*The pay is minimum wage OR commission averaged out over a period of two weeks. In the end you don't make over an average of $10 dollars an hour. *You have to compete for hours. *Extensive travel, gas expense out of your own pocket (over 30 miles a day) *You have to attend weekly meetings, even if it's a day off. *Sporadic days off every two weeks- quickly burn out. *Constantly on the phone with several people and conference calls that you are NOT compensated for. *Poor culture- lack of discretion and tact on behalf of manager and staff. A cult like mentality that takes advantage of recent college grads and the generally naive. *Extremely high turnover rate. Many don't stay longer than a couple of weeks. *It's not marketing its sales. The 'event' is a booth at Sam's Club or Costco. You're basically a sample person. *Daily sales revenue is extremely important despite what management says. *Travel expenses are poorly taken care of. Out of pocket expenses include everything but hotel and car rental. Usually placed in poorly kept hotels with conspicuous clientele. They hardly have microwaves or fridges so you are forced to eat out every day. *Promotions take up to a year, and even then you are FORCED to move out of state with little hope for success. Even then you are not in charge of yourself; you still have to be compliant with Smart Circle. *CEO uses profanity and degrades other female employees
