Pros
Assuming you're a talented salesman right out the gate, you may actually thrive. If you're active and enjoy walking around, it sure will get you to do that. Most people there are friendly and upbeat. (Most. More on that in the cons.) Sometimes there's food on the house. Also, the Lunchbox near the office serves pretty decent fare. The morning 'atmosphere' with its training and motivational lectures are a...

If you're literally anyone other than the types of people listed in the pro, it sucks. So bad. And also for legitimate reasons; - The front they have is an actual lie. They're only a marketing company on paper- your job is literally sales. Most of the time you'll be canvassing door-to-door, and your promotions and income literally depend on the sales you close. It's a sales job. - If you don't have sales, you miss...

None they'll take, they already have all these businesses and cars and awesome houses and lots of income, how very good for them. However, dear aspiring entrepreneur, if you wish to open your own business someday -whatever it may be- here are some pointers: - Your business costs should cover each employees baseline, plus commission, plus training and equipment where applicable. If you can't cover these expenses, you...

Pros
Warm welcoming crew everyone becomes like family very quickly. Its a real learning experience with tons of oppourtunity to grow and learn. It also might seem overwhelming if your an introvert like i was it's turned me into of the most social ive been in along time.
Cons
The only con that exists is really with in your self. All jobs are hard all of them have down sides. You could say oh its cold well that's on you to wear actual winter clothes. oh the hours are to long again thats on you this job isnt just sales its where you learn to own and run a business and that's what real business owners do they work longer and harder than everyone else.

Pros
You will learn how to run a business and confidence when it comes to public speaking. You will also meet a ton of people and make long lasting friendships with those who survive the trenches. If you are best friends with the owner, you will get to travel once in a while.
Cons
The downsides to working here are more than I have time to share on this review. To sum it up, the owner trains his staff on how to manipulate new employees. If you ask around there is 5 people who have worked there for more than a year. They have reputable clients that they represent and are great at sales so it will seem as if they are legitimately promoting people left and right to run their own establishment when...

You need to treat people as employees and stop promoting it as anything else to cut corners and "lower your overhead." As you always tell us - "The CHEAPSKATE PAYS TWICE!"

Pros
Experience in sales and learn to work an above normal work day which looks great on your resume
Cons
Longest hours you will ever work for the pay. They will tell you all about commission your going to make to hype you up but don't be fooled! They only pay hourly they will explain a long formula to confuse you I worked there for a long time expecting to see a different result and it was literally always the same. By the same, I mean I earned less and less each pay. Look up Smart Circle reviews and educate yourself!
Advice to Management
Stop promoting various positions for hire because they are all "management training" at the end of the day.
