Pros

Opportunity to learn disciplined business principles. The basis of this company is to run a fiscally responsible enterprise first and foremost. Many decisions here are made based on impact to the bottom line. Much of it seems to be questionable at the time but ultimately they are a profitable company despite the state of the industry or the economy. The executive team and ownership is very smart and intelligent. They understand the industry and are forward thinkers while keeping remaining budget conscience. You can learn a great deal and there is a great deal of opportunity to grow within the ranks if you can handle yourself and the tough working environment.

Cons

Lack of respect for employees at all levels.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.
