Pros

Just like the other poster said, the person I trained with was nice.

Cons

To be clear, I was a prospective employee and made it to the 3rd round of interviews before realizing they were lying to me and declined. I applied for their Customer Service Representative position with the promised salary of 30-45k on Indeed. During the interview, they were very evasive with what my job actually would be during the first interview and gave practically no details. When I came back for the second interview/ training, I realized this was not a CSR position but it was canvassing (aka: the people asking for large sum donations in the subway and on the street that you try to avoid) Just like the other poster, I had to watch my trainer canvass in the subway while I filled out a long questionnaire against the subway walls. I was told that I could move up in the company but that, even at the top, my responsibilities would be a mix of subway and street canvassing plus recruiting others in to do the same. I was told that I would be expected to work from Monday through Saturday, from usually 9am until generally 7-7:30pm for a starting salary of 25k per year. That's 6 days a week, approx. 10 hours a day for around less than $9 per hour. That is less than the $15 min wage because the position is exempt. There were also no benefits. No overtime pay and no healthcare, etc. This is a scam that borderlines my idea of slave labor, do not be fooled and waste your time like I did.

Pros

The man who I trained with was nice, other than that, nothing.

Cons

I had been looking for a job and found them on a job board and sent in an application. They contacted me the next day asking me to come in for an interview. After going in the next day, and doing a ten minute interview, they told me they’d call me that night to say if I had made it to the next round of interviews, which I did. When I went in the next day for a 10:00 appointment, I ended waiting until almost 11. What I thought was going to be a second interview and shadow someone at the office actually was going with someone on a subway who stood on a street corner and tried to sell people products. I was not even watching them, I was sitting around the corner from them filling out a long questionnaire about myself with completely meaningless questions that ended long answers with heavy explanations, and I only had and hour and a half to do it before my shadowing was over.
