Pros

People. As many have stated prior, there are some very talented, dedicated, and generally good people. There is an opportunity to gain experience and responsibility beyond your pay grade.

Cons

Micromanagement - every level below VP Manage to spreadsheets and conflicting reports - too reactionary, not enough technology to help the field. Too much busy work - field offices should concentrate on delivering the proper customer experience and technician development. Current audit process is counter productive. Too many "know it alls" - leadership is weak on mentoring, leading, and team building. Heavy on ego and justifying their jobs. Work/Life Balance - you'll hear it mentioned as being important but don't attempt to practice it. You may be perceived as not having pride in your work or being committed. Benefits and pay. Although, if the environment was better I'm sure most wouldn't bat an eye at the compensation package. Too many threats of losing employment; not enough action to build a winning team.

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.
