Pros

When its good, its marvellous. The products all do what they say, though they might not be the best, and when you follow the fundamentals you can sell a lot. The people are all so friendly and helpful. It really feels like a family and its good to work for a company that cares. The schedule is so flexible its great. A real bonus is the way other agents go out of their way to help you if you need a shift covered. The commission rate is good too once you've got your payrise which only takes around 5 weeks.

Cons

REALLY disorganised. I've never worked with a company where the head office seems so clueless. It is the main cause of all the issues I have had. Pay being made incorrectly or late, running out of stock, lack of training and equipment. It could all be so great if the senior team could just get organised and stop procrastinating! They have always fixed the problems though. It seems the USA get good benefits and it would be good if the UK got the same treatment. When you have bad days its soul destroying and you can get lonely.

Pros

Flexibility and you can make pretty decent money if you hustle.

Cons

Some of the management isn't above name-calling, cursing, and screaming at you to make their point. This is not the way to do business, and is so far beyond professional, it's unbelievable. When I first started, my Regional supervisor was terrific. She was professional, caring, and went out of her way to make sure the sales agents had a comfortable working environment with everything they needed. I was happy and impressed with the company, She left last year, and was replaced by someone who not only actively discusses with sales agents how he cheats on his girlfriend with other sales agents, but regularly uses the above scare tactics and using his explosive temper to make a point. He's also not above throwing everyone else under the bus to make sure you know he's always right. To be honest with you, I left because of him, but the company itself is in trouble. A lot of great people have left the company due to the lack of growth, terrible work/life balance and expectations, poor organization with payroll and with stock ordering, and the dwindling chains the company has been left with.
