Pros

Great Company Benefits.......401 K match.....control your schedule....great start into sales

Cons

When hired you are told what you can expect to make and you can cut that number in half to get a real idea. You are also not told that you have to pay to go to work there starting year two. also you are not compensated for mileage or gas and trust me you will be on the road almost all the time. This company pays everyone else really well except for the reps. The average wage in our office last year was less the 20,000 per year. and expect 4 months of unpaid training. All in all lots of hidden surprises your expected to pay for additional training and be expected to attend training seminars that are unpaid. also you only get 45% of what you make the company keeps the rest and your not told that the nice quarterly bonuses get dropped after you have been there for 6 quarters. Your asked to reach out to everyone you know move over as many assets as possible and then once that is done they want you out the door. They will sing your praises right out of the start gate and forget about you when times get tough. There are also ethical issues that you will have to look the other way when you know someone is just doing something to make a quick buck and when you bring it up to corprate they tell you to mind your own business and not worry about what other reps are doing. do yourself a favor and keep looking its not worth it.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
