Pros

They engage you with the promise of commission based pay "$30 a day" oh that's wonderful! and by the end of the day if you sell to five people you make $150 for that day! but in order to make a decent pay check you need to sell door to door everyday.."green energy" product and they dont even explain to you what it is. They just tell you what to say and bam! make the sale.

Cons

It's a pyramid scam they put you in a management position but that's later on you have to sell door to door in shady areas before you can even be recommended for a management position. 6-8 months door to door.

Hey Reviewer, We appreciate your feedback. We understand that face-to-face sales and marketing is not for everyone, which is why we try to be as detailed as possible during the second interview process. As you know, we require any sales representative that we hire to complete a series of interviews, including a full day of job shadowing prior to employment. This ensures that before we ever offer the job, the candidate is able to see the exact job duties performed, including interactions with customers. Compensation details are also discussed within the job shadow session, so if you were not happy with the job duties or compensation, we are not sure why you accepted the position. We are not involved in a pyramid scheme; that is an illegal business practice. Please contact us at the office with any further questions or concerns. Best, The One Chicago Team

Pros

You'll meet some really cool people, have some fun times-- business trips are a lot of fun and a good way to make some extra money (sometimes). The in-office work environment is fun- sometimes we would play games to pump up energy before hitting the field. You'll learn a lot about business goals and entrepreneurship in the meetings and conference calls; business wisdom that you'll take with you for the rest of your life. You don't have to be at the office until 11am. The managers are really cool and helpful.

Cons

Long days! There was a long commute back and forth, plus the 9-hr day. You have to be going door to door selling products/services rain or shine- torrential downpours, tornadoes, etc. During the initial interview there was no mention that I was going to be going door-to-door, just "face-to-face interactions with customers." I didn't know what I was getting myself into until I went on the follow-up interview with a leader- to the middle of nowhere, where I basically shadowed him for the day. He sold the job well, so I decided to take it. You typically have to be doing door-to-door sales for well over a year before you move up.
