Pros

Some talented and creative people within the department, and the work itself had potential to be exciting and meaningful.

Cons

A major issue was leadership structure within certain departments. It often felt like departments were being managed by people who lacked direct experience or understanding of the work they were overseeing. This created disconnects in communication, unrealistic expectations, and decision-making that did not always support the actual team needs. Over time, it became frustrating working in an environment where creativity and specialized skillsets did not always feel understood or properly valued by leadership.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.
