Pros

Good company culture, coworkers are very close and friendly. Everyone is supportive.

Cons

In office from 8:30-11am to play games and practice sales pitch (unpaid) then travel from 11am-12pm to Walmarts up to an hour away (no gas reimbursement). Annoy shoppers from 12pm-7pm to sign up for an energy supplier. Your days off are Tuesday and Wednesday, but if you don’t meet your goal of 40 sales for the week, you are expected to work past 7pm or work on your days off. Absolutely no work life balance. Office happy hour every Thursday night that isn’t mandatory, but highly encouraged, and more opportunities to spend time with coworkers outside of work (as if 8:30-7pm isn’t enough). Bottom line: research the parent company before accepting. They have various branches under different names to hide the horrible reviews. If you want to stand in Walmart bothering people all day to sell them an energy supplier, maybe this is a good fit for you, otherwise I’d stay away. Don’t make the same mistake I did and assume this job won’t be too bad for the money they claim you’ll make. This is a pyramid scheme without the money you put in to it, but instead you’re putting a ridiculous amount of time into it. There is a high turnover at this job for a reason, they’re always hiring and will call you minutes after you leave the interview to offer you a job.

Hi Reviewer. Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We're sorry to hear that you didn't like our systems and scheduling. We've had great success with it thus far, but understand that it might not be a match for everyone. We believe each individual is responsible for creating work/life balance in their own life. We have systems and training in place so that we can be confident in our team's abilities to get the job done in the time allotted for the task. If additional time is needed, we try to provide opportunities for completion as well. Our clients hire us to represent them because we're great with people and can deliver better results than they can get on their own. We have a reputation for excellence within our industry, and we try our best to not have customers feel like we are annoying them. We are a privately held company, and we don't have a parent company or any other names, so you might be confusing us with someone else. A pyramid scheme is an illegal business practice and we do not participate in any illegal business practices. We do provide an entrepreneurially-minded work environment and performance-based compensation structure that aids our team greatly in their professional development and growth. If you would like to further discuss anything regarding your employment experience, we welcome you to contact us at the office. Wishing you success in your next endeavor.
