Pros

My coworkers were extremely friendly and welcoming. The turnover rate is extremely high so you're always meeting new people. Sam's Club has delicious pizza.

Cons

Regardless of what you applied for you'll be offered a management trainee position. They stress that it is not a sales job and that I'd be making six figures in a year, but that's hard to believe when I was standing in a Sam's Club or Kroger selling products that I couldn't stand behind. You're way to move up in the company is to consistently sell so much product each day. They claim they're high turnover is due to people not working hard enough or not wanting it but really it's just a sales job that pays minimum wage and a bit of commission with no benefits. The stress is not worth it.

Pros

Everyone is EXTREMELY welcoming, helpful, and nice! The interview process really gives you a decent look at the ENTRY LEVEL position. (Don't let all the different fancy job titles fool you....everyone starts at the bottom, doing the exact same job.)

Cons

Pretty much everything is a negative. It's a $7.50/hour unless your commission pay is high enough, but the commission percentages are only beneficial for the manager and top leaders. They expect a ton of extra work (conference calls, shift break downs, etc.) off the clock and during "non-business" hours. I'm sorry but calling me at 9:00pm is not professional. It sounds great in theory, but when you really look into and read all the fine print, it's nothing like how they make it sound. They pride themselves on not being "salespeople" and how they are promoters so it doesn't matter if they customers buy or not...but in reality, if the customers don't buy, you will starve to death. Not to mention the pitches are very pushy and somewhat unethical. It has just been a very poor experience for me. I'm sure some people will love it. Just make sure you really go over the details before getting started so you aren't taken off guard like I was.
