Pros
They do offer a small base salary. The base salary is typically around $36,000 which is just enough to pay child care and the remaining household overhead.
Cons
Everything! There is no work life balance. You do not receive a book of business. They expect you to cold call to build every customer. They have business in the territory but allow the office to sale to those individuals so they don't have to pay commission on it. They will tell you that they give you a book of business after six months, but I never received it and I have been working here for three years. What they give you is 10 year old accounts that have not done business with in a decade. They expect you to be at your first stop at 7:30 am and leave your last stop between 4:30pm to 5:00pm. Then you have to go home and do you paperwork which is mostly busy work that is of no importance and apart of the micromanagement. It is very common to have to drive two hours to get to the area that you're working using your personal vehicle. Once you submit paperwork it is around 9:00pm. The commission structure is horrible. You would honestly make twice as much money selling cars and work 20 less hours per week. They are slow to hire and quick to fire! They hired a new guy for a territory in TN in what is one of our slowest times of the season and fired him before he was two weeks in! On his second day the owner of the company called him and told him he was worthless and useless because he hadn't sold anything on his second day. The rookie coach that is assigned to you will call you at all hours of the day and if you do not answer or return the call or text within 5 min they absolutely scold you. My rookie coach would call on a sunday morning while I was in church then scold me for not answering. They have had several staff member in the sales department ruin families. These women flirt and sometimes take it too far and have sex with clients in order to get them to purchase product. Ladies, if I were you I would stay away. This is no place for a true lady.
