Pros

*Ipad provided, phone allowance, car allowance *"model sales call" can help you in general professionally *Stable company controls the market

Cons

*Terrible leads when cold calling(100 calls expected daily) potential customers where either already customers, angry about previous service, or WRONG NUMBER. Out of 100 calls you might get 2 appointments and 1 of those was either a no show or a cancel. *Management does not care that leads are poor they just want you to call, no attempts made to improve the quality of leads *Lots of driving- 30-50 miles for one appointment was normal *Lots of cancelled appointments that were not discovered until you are sitting in front of the customers home. *Multiple software systems(3-4) to navigate prior to sales calls *50-100 cold call door knocks expected daily *After first 3 months 100% commission *Outside of the 1 week corporate training, training by manager is spotty at best. To be honest it depends on the manager. *VERY HIGH TURNOVER

Pros

Weekly pay and okay benefits, close to home.

Cons

Training is horrible at best. During training more time is spent on the easiest portion of the job and less time on the more difficult aspects. Trainers have no business teaching anyone. Most of the time, trainers are not even able to answer questions. Upper management does not know the meaning of the word respect. Team managers will actual discourage employees from speaking to each other. Reading "important" emails is to be done on your own time, not while on the phone. Communication is a joke. Policy changes are not communicated to the employees on the phone. No desire to boost morale in our center. We were actually given an hour off early (had to come in an hour early) on Christmas and New Years Eve and the attitude of management was they were doing us a favor. Tools to manage call volume are not used. Then management wonders why service levels are not met.
