Pros

Nothing that I can think of

Cons

They laid off people heartless because of covid. Not to mention is was super high pressure before. They’re also very deceptive with the commision. They don’t treat you like a human being. Everyone is treated like a number.

Pros

If you are a sociopath and don't mind lying to people for financial gain you won't be judged poorly.

Cons

Most unprofessional place I've ever worked. Prospects google the company, uncover the truth and ghost you, then management infers it is something you did wrong.

Pros

Some of the people I met working there are fantastic

Cons

- Leadership that only values the top sellers, they are just fine with the crazy amount of turnover, as long as those junior people are feeding leads to the top sellers. - Unethical business practices (Lying about event attendees to clients) - "Bro" like sales culture, everyone drinks on their lunch breaks - Owner messes with his leadership team, constantly promoting, demoting and changing their titles. No one has a chance to settle in and thrive in their roles. (Just look at some of the leaders LinkedIn pages...) - They incentivize people to write positive reviews on glass door - Tanya is fantastic, but unfortunately the owner really doesn't let her make any real change happen
