Pros

I got out of the house for a bit.

Cons

Ok so first off, even though I find it clever that the company has decided to respond to people's reviews I'm here to clear the air a little bit. 1) they say that you are offered pay weekly. -Uhhh. No. I asked my hiring manager,(which is literally the same guy for everyone) how the pay worked. He said it was commission and salary based. Also the responder to the reviews said that they offer weekly salary. Uh no again. Please explain to me then why the person I was shadowing on my first day told me that it was all salary commission? She had been working there for a while. So why would she lie to me? Also she told me you guys don't pay your employee until the first month of them working there. Wow so your withholding payment form your employees. Interesting... 2) they explain everything to you during your interview. -while I'm sure they did through all the business jargon that was being thrown at me every second by my business manager. What they actually didn't tell me was that I would be venturing to the south side of Chicago and walking up to random people asking them if they would like to sign up for a phone service. Ok so your outside year round? Like during blizzards and stuff? All day? Wow that sounds fun where do I sign? Oh and also your not paying for my transportation to get to these places? Sounds great.

High energy Fun environment Great manager Always busy Team effort Room for growth (and lots of it!)

Cons

I cannot think of any cons at the moment. Sometimes it can get hectic. I don't think that is a con but others might.

Pros

With a great friendly staff, personal training and personal based success you can't go wrong with working here. Best part about the job was having the knowledge that you yourself was the only limiting factor to the success. Management always left you the open door towards your own success! I learned so much on my internship with Zengo which has made me a better person in all areas! My time there built my personal skills and innerpersonal skills far beyond where I would have been otherwise. Also right away you are part of the team. Again you have equal chance at any benefits, such as company trips, as the guy next to you which is a huge plus that this company does not work on the old seniority system.

Cons

There were times when it felt like you had to hangout with the team after a long day of work when the only thing on your mind was sleep and or not spending money on going out food. But really that is the only downside, and you can still decline the going out offer I would suppose. Not really a Con, but keep in mind that your outlook will shape your perception and success. Having a poor attitude or not giving it your all will affect your performance (Though that can be said about any job in reality) because this a personal success driven company (again no seniority bias here)
