Pros

Once in a while we got to take a break from our phones and go watch presentations, or listen to someone talk. If you get a cool coach (your coach changes often) sometimes they'll let you out early, or won't penalize you for being late. The break room was nice, comfy couches, we were able to use the internet, watch tv or fall asleep. Always meeting new people since so many people work there.

Cons

If you get a not so nice coach, or one that is by nature grumpy and mean, your time there will not be fun. With one of my last coaches it seemed like she was always looking for every little reason to get mad at the employees. The management wasn't really fair. Towards the end when the layoffs started, many good and fair coaches were demoted, while this particular coach kept her position. Definitely unfair, as if being cruel to employees was encouraged. Also spanish language teams were treated with much more lenience than english language teams. Spanish speakers were consistently late logging in, and their coaches would 'fix' their times so it wouldn't count against the employees. English only people had three times and you got a write up if they did that. I sense some reverse discrimination?

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.
