Pros

Fun people to work with

Cons

It's 100 percent comission. Here's why, you only get the "base" if you don't sell enough to make minimum wage in sales. Then they give you the minimum wage base ($270 a week after taxes), but take it back when you earn a little more. For example, say you only do one sale, and you have to be giving $170, the next week, it's taken out of your check. Also, the average person makes $350 to $555 a week before taxes.... long hours for low pay

Hey, Reviewer! Thanks for the feedback and pro you listed! We're always open to discuss pay in person, especially for current or future team members who have questions or need clarification. With that being said, we can confidently say that you weren't running payroll for the company and therefore wouldn't have a claim as to what the "average" pay is here at UMC Direct. Our Facebook and Instagram pages give lots of recognition to our client's top performers, all who receive checks for over $1000 weekly. While we recognize that your paycheck may have been within that $350-555 range, that is not a reflection of an entire group. We hope since you've been well. Take care! Sincerely, Corey

Pros

If my husband's job hadn't moved us to Kentucky I would still be there! I love that I got direct communication with the CEO so I could improve and receive my promotion faster than I was already on track to. My co-workers worked as a team instead of for themselves which was great to be apart of.

Cons

This job is for passionate people only. If you plan on putting in the minimum effort into your job, you won't make it in this work environment and you'll be left behind.

Pros

friendly atmosphere. Mostly everyone seemed engaged with what was going on. If you are 100% a people person who can handle irritated Walmart shoppers day in and day out, this is definitely a great opportunity.

Cons

You legitimately stand in mostly a Walmart all day, heckling people to switch to spectrum internet/cable. Tuesday and Wednesday are days off. They give you a weekly base at ~$350 should you do next to no sales that week. Should you make sales the next week (and you should, or your job is in jeopardy), they deduct that ~$350 they so kindly gave you the week before, from what you earn the following week. You will arrive at the office at around 9:30 (~half hour drive for me) to rally and cheer each other up and then you will drive to a Walmart of their choice, which could be another half hour of driving. They will not compensate you for this.
