Pros

Honestly there aren’t any good pros

Cons

The biggest challenge is working 50-60 hours a week and only being paid for 35ish. You only get paid for the time you’re standing in the sales field and 3 hours max in the office. Your drive time to the place 30 minutes away and sometimes 2 hours if you’re on a “road trip” and the other “required” things such as team nights and breakfast aren’t paid for. (Required in quotes because technically they don’t require it but at the same time they get upset if you’re not there and won’t promote you if you don’t go.) They try to convince you that this is the best job you’ll ever have and you are in an amazing opportunity. However, you’re actually just being sucked into a pyramid scheme where you end up losing more money a month than you make.

Dear Reviewer, We appreciate you taking the time to review us and thank you for the feedback! We did want to clear up a few things so that there was no confusion. We do not require anyone employed by our company to work 50-60 hours, we don't have anyone working under our company that even hits over 40 hours. We also pay every single employee an hourly rate for every hour that they work. We use a GPS verified clock in system that tracks every single hour worked for each individual to insure that we pay each person for every hour that they work. We also do not send any road trips that requires someone to drive 2 hours, we provide transportation to any event out of area. We typically fly though, so we are confused as to if you have the correct company here. We do have team building events outside of working hours, but they are by no means mandatory, nor do they have anything to do with promotions inside of our office. Lastly, we are not a pyramid scheme, which you would know if you worked here. Each individual employed through our company fills out W4's, I9's, ect and we pay them for the hours that they work for us each week. I am not sure if you have the wrong company or are confused, but nothing listed in this review is an accurate representation of our company. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback! Feel free to send us an email to hr@talbertandassociates.com with any other comments or concerns! Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Pros

Everything about working with this company is great. Communication is very evident between everyone in the company. If I ever have any questions, there is always someone I can reach out to who is willing to help or even just brainstorm with me! I've been very pleased with the interactions I've had with their director, McKenzie. She really cares about every aspect of the company, and it's very obvious. She makes working along side her very easy! Not to mention she makes my job very easy by making sure she preaches compliance to anyone who may be new to the company to minimize any complaints. I actually started at Talbert and Associates as an intern, and I came back after graduating from college. This company has given me an amazing opportunity to grow into a director position. The amount of valuable experience I have gained here through my time with them is unmatched. My past job experiences never gave me the chance to grow at a fast pace, and they definitely didn't give me the opportunity to take on more and more responsibility.

Cons

I can't think of any Cons... It is a lot of hard work, but I wouldn't expect anything less. As long as you're willing to work hard and put in the time to get results, there are no cons
