Pros

Company provides a car that you can also use for personal purposes. Pay and goals are decent for the first six months. You have some flexibility in setting your schedule, though late nights and weekends are mandatory. You get 14 vacation days, as long as they don’t fall during blackout periods—though don’t count on using them around Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Cons

This role is extremely demanding, with expectations that employees work from sunrise until 8 PM, including weekends and holidays. Despite having vacation days, they are often blacked out during certain periods, and unused days cannot be carried over. Work-life balance is virtually nonexistent. High turnover is a notable issue, with most employees leaving within a year. The job requires collaboration with Field Representatives, but if they do not complete their portion of the process, it negatively impacts your performance—this happens frequently, and support from management is lacking. While bonuses over $1,000 are possible, they require nonstop effort and sacrifices that make the role unsustainable for most employees. Unrealistic expectations and a lack of organizational support create a challenging environment that many find difficult to navigate.
