Pros

Great company to work for. Support is something that is available to those who ask. I have nothing negative to say about this company.

Cons

Doesn't everyone have to work 40 hours a week or more. Not going to complain.

Pros

Decent training, good benefits and if your a lifer (10+ years), you will eventually make the "money" they sell you on. Give them a year, and they train you to work for the completion and make way more off the bat! This is a good job everywhere besides SF, you will make more $$ everywhere but the city.

Cons

Don't let HR or the company fool you, this is a "door to door" sales job. You feel very unfulfilled in your career and the rejection all around you doesn't help. First 2 years, you will not make any money if you live in SF. The beginning wage is great if you live at home with mom, have no kids, and are not in a relationship. But for the rest of the adults in the area, look else where. The city is so competitive that you're not going make any commission or make your bonus. Bonus is paid out if you sell more units than last year. The problem is that SF market is the most competitive in the nation, you always lose business, whether it was you or the person that had that territory before you, you're still held accountable for the negative numbers. The commission structure is so flawed that IF you do make a bonus, you start to equate what it took vs pay out, its very uneven, you'll start to see how not worth it is. Turn over is high, they lose about 40% around the 8 months to year and half mark from the new hired recruits. Like mentioned above, the company does a survey every year, logistic problems and upper management has always scored low, nothing new, same story, nothing gets handled. Now the job is not all negative, if you actually make it. But there is a certain type that does great in this job and you will know if you are that type aound month 7, mind you if you're still in the same boat 4 months later, don't expect change, take that as a hint.
