Pros

None really. Training is superficial, focus on quick but not quality, nothing you cannot read in a good sales book.

Cons

The company's proposition is a scam, namely people in 'sales' are trained superficially to attract the attention of consumers at Costco, BJs, etc. in order to entice them to convert their existing cable TV to DirectTV (mostly from Comcast). In essence, sales reps become 'animated posters'. I spent on my first field day 5 hours at Costco trying to attract people's attention which was the most unproductive time in my professional life. To make it worse, there is no proactive marketing campaign leading potential clients to the reps at the store and those reps have no props or promotional posters nearby leading potential clients to at least understand what is being offered. A total sham.

Pros

You learn to have an entrepreneur mindset, develop public speaking and leadership skills, you get to network with people from all walks of life, travel opportunities. If you’re a good sales person you have the opportunity to make more than 800 a week (uncapped commission)

Cons

Schedule changes on weekly basis, you have to be at the office at 8am for an hour -4-5 Times a week even if you’re off that day, once you figure out the sales portion of the business, now you have to train others without making any commission off them- Considering most of those people will leave so not only you loose people on your team, but also money that could’ve been yours. Extremely High turnover rate!!! When it comes to road trips, you’re on your own with all the car expenses. Only try it if you have nothing to loose, can sell, have an entrepreneur mindset or want experience in sales as well as leadership development. Also there are tons of offices like this one with better leadership. This one is ok but is definitely not on top of the hierarchy, which means they lack of leadership and therefore is hard to grow with them unless you already know how to and do not need leadership to guide you all the way.
