Pros

You are paid $11.44 an hour to start off and with 80 hours you can afford to life comfortably. You can also earn up to about $800 extra a month if you meet/exceed sales goals. You are not forced to wear a suite and tie in this environment. It is a team setting so you don't feel so alone and bored. Free accounts for yourself and nice rates as an employee.

Cons

As you see they pay you starting off at is very nice but there is a HUGE CATCH. The turnover rate is SUPER HIGH. This job is so stressful. You are FORCED to "connect" with the customer but not because you should-because you need to get A MILLION sales pitches into the conversation. You need to sell every qualified customer a credit card EVEN if they def don't need it. There is an extensive list of items you need to mention to the customer and RIGHT OFF THE BAT it comes off as a sales pitch. You have to have a certain amount of referrals a day. In the mix of trying to LIST EVERY SINGLE SALES PITCH you have to participate in your team chat and check every email (they send a million an hour). You have to keep watch of your schedule change at the same time (they will change it in a split second-i should know its happened to me so many times). Lets not forget if they give you a "title". I was asked to be Gallup champ for my team which is being in charge of gaining all 5s on our team's reviews. You have to STILL MEET AND EXPECTED TO EXCEED your daily goals, do all the other stuff i mentioned, and plan meeting for your Gallup pitches and mentor your team members on their customer service. You also have to do "activities" like posters and stupid stuff like that for your team. I left work every night at 7 and the job went with me. I was never fully rested or relaxed because it goes with you. When I put in my notice I had enough because my team leader had disrespected me a few times. All the company cares about is profit and not keeping valuable members. The pitches they want you to make and the responses they want you to say to customers are all lies and when you have to lie to a customer that actually KNOWS its a lie it kinda makes it harder to make a sales pitch. Just NEVER apply for this company. I never even recommend others to bank with them because of their system being designed to screw you over.

Pros

HR is easily accessible. Some managers may be on your behind about work even though there are easier methods. Some managers with criticize you in front of other employees.

Cons

We have to use five of our vacation days consecutively so they can audit us. We aren’t assigned Saturday shifts close to our home, so some people have to drive farther for 3 hours of work (no mileage). Managers are hit or miss. PE can be affected by location, so try to get a good location.

Pros

There are Bonuses and employee appreciation days. Good rotation on working weekends.

Cons

Your bonus is paid out based on others performance. If you’re having a great quarter, but someone else is doing slightly better, instead of getting paid out on what you’ve done, you get a decrease in your pay. With your sales, there is always a way for regions to take off credit for those sales so they won’t go towards your bonus.
