You'll learn very quickly why 90% of new hires quit after the first week
Pros
No seats in the office, and a 15-minute lunch break... If you like standing, you're gonna love this job, because it's all you'll do for at least eight hours a day. If you love people, this is the job for you. You get to be the annoying (insert expletive here) in a suit that tries to sign up every Walmart customer within a 10-foot radius for Xfinity for six hours a day. If you can handle this work for 8-12 months, you get your own office and could make $130k+/yr, which is the only reason I didn't give this job one star.
Cons
Your boss is also your HR. There is no neutral party to determine who is in the wrong in the event of an ethical dilemma. I don't know how this is legal, but I'm also not a lawyer. When you get promoted to account manager, you're told the night before that you will go from working 45 hours a week over five days to 66 hours a week over six days a week, and if you don't meet your expectations over those six days, you're expected to work Sundays as well. You may be told by your boss that you will use your car for work and you'll have no say in the matter. You'll be compensated $50 a week for gas, but when your boss tells you the moment you arrive to work that you'll be driving to Weirton and Steubenville from Market Square, this can lead to many people losing money using their car to do their job. No benefits until approx. 6 months in, so until getting promoted to a junior executive role, you work a 1099 job, so you'll be considered an independent contractor. Half of the employees came together from San Francisco, and literally all they have here is each other, so the concept of a life outside of work is completely foreign to them.
