Pros

This is a starter job, only good during the spring! You make about 9.86 a hour and get reembursed about .25 a mile for travel. That's not Pro!

Cons

This is not a permanent position even though they tell you that! Layoffs are seasonal. Get a real permanent job, Don't mess with this company here in Columbia SC. Poorly managed and they show favoritism with sales leads. I'm looking for another job now, I will be out of there quick they just hired a guy a month ago and then laid him off. Ask him if he's coming back in January? Are you serious, OMG.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
