Pros

There is no pros because you are consistently lied to about growth potential and job expectations.

Cons

Be ready to work 50 to 60 hours a week and only get paid for 40. This position is also based off commission. There was little to no guidance from management and the owner is very condescending. I never felt like I was part of the team and everything I was told during the interview was a lie.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry that your time with us was not what you expected it to be. Since the date of your review, we have grown tremendously in our culture and as a company. We have set new standards for transparency that are being consistently applied daily; we are even allowing candidates to shadow the position they applied for before making a decision so they can determine if there is a good match! We apologize immensely that you didn't feel as if you were part of the team. Building relationships and team comradery are two things we value most, and we will take action to ensure that this does not happen again. In regard to your concern with hours and pay, we do have all new employees read and agree to our onboarding documents that do agree that any overtime beyond 40 hours a week is paid time-and-a-half. We encourage anyone with a concern about the culture or environment here at Lakeside to give us feedback so we can resolve the issue in a timely matter. If you have any further concerns that you feel we have not addressed, please give us a call at the office and we will be happy to assist you!

Pros

I have been with this team for around 4 months and my time with this firm has been great. The atmosphere and culture that has been cultivated here is second to none. This team really enjoys getting up everyday to accomplish their mission. My favorite thing thus far has been the individualized training that I have received. I came from a career where I was treated as a number and most of my work was menial. Here I truly feel as if what I do is appreciated. I also appreciate that this is a very diverse and open minded culture. Anyone can exceL

Cons

I wish the team meetings where longer!

Pros

- Communication: there is transparency through the entire process. I know what is happening and why it is happening that way. There is always a purpose and it is always communicated thoroughly. - Support Structure: there is always help and there are individuals that give up their time to make sure your growth, knowledge, and skill set are congruent with your goals. You have a personal mentor that has gone through the program that guides you along your growth structure. The training, marketing strategies, and consumer psychology directly relates to real life and has been most beneficial to me not just in my business life but me personal life as well - no one is going to micro manage you but they train to have individuals become self sufficient in the industry. -travel opportunities!! Country wide conferences, different offices, different owners, the Rest & Relaxation, different markets, and the list goes on! - paid driving! I never realized this wasn't a typical thing in the business world but I am grateful to be one of the few that get to enjoy it! - Opportunity for growth: if you show you're motivated, they will provide you with opportunities to help you grow faster and grow from within the company.

Cons

It was a big change for me going from very part time work (18-22 hours a week) to full-time (40 hours a week). I was overwhelmed and exhausted at the end of the first few weeks but I have stuck with it and it has made all the difference! I'm looking forward to how fast I can move up through the company to attain my goals. This opportunity showed me that I didn't want to be ordinary.
