I have been working at DialogueDirect full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The company cares about the well-being of its employees. You get health benefits after 90 days, travel opportunities, and lots of performance-based incentives.
Cons
The job can be physically and emotionally draining, because you spend all day talking to strangers, and you're outdoors every day, rain or shine. That being said, management understands this aspect of the job, and provides a lot of support to help employees manage these situations.
Advice to Management
Focus more on developing and retaining new and established leaders, not just new talent.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at DialogueDirect.

The interview process was fairly straightforward. The interviewer asked questions about my personality and fit for the job. After filling out a separate form asking general identification questions, I left and was sent an offer a few days later.
