Pros

Good health insurance if single, matching 401k, free internet

Cons

Company could care less about employees during Covid, and frankly never cared during poor weather either. It clearly says in our state that employees who are able to work remote that employers should allow them to do so to their greatest extent. We all have the equipment but are not allowed to. WE SELL ADVERTISING IN OUR BRANCH, THAT IS NOT ESSENTIAL. Just shows they care most about profit. Some people tell me to be happy I have a job, but what if I get sick or pass the virus on to a loved one? Cool, we get 3 weeks of Covid time, that's really not helpful considering since testing is so hard to get, you might be using it for time off in isolation over a cold and then ACTUALLY get it after using the time.

Pros

I've worked as an RCS in the Daytona Beach market and my experience has been very positive. Like any outside sales position, success comes down to attitude, consistency, and following a proven system. The reps who struggle are often looking for shortcuts, while the reps who put in the time, learn the process, and stay coachable tend to do very well. Pros: Strong earning potential with uncapped commissions Flexible schedule and independence in the field Supportive teammates and leadership Excellent products that solve real customer needs. More than most of the competition. Opportunities to grow and increase income over time The biggest advantage is that you control your own results. If you're willing to work consistently, learn from successful reps, and stick to a proven approach, this can be a very rewarding career. This is not a sit-at-a-desk job. You'll be walking neighborhoods, talking to people, handling objections, and hearing "no" along the way. That's part of sales. If you enjoy meeting people, helping customers, and taking ownership of your success, the role offers significant upside.

Cons

The role requires patience, consistency, and resilience. Many of the customers we speak with are former subscribers who may have left due to a past service issue, billing concern, or negative experience. Reps often have to overcome skepticism and rebuild trust before even discussing current products and promotions. There is definitely a learning curve, and success doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to learn the territory, understand customer concerns, and develop the communication skills needed to turn difficult conversations into opportunities. Reps who remain coachable, follow a proven system, and stay consistent with their activity tend to perform much better over time.
