Pros

Please see cons below and read very carefully before you consider this turd of a job.

Cons

If you're looking to walk 5+ miles a day selling internet and TV Channels door to door then you're at the right place. Ryan the CEO is a selfish arrogant human being who only talks about his money and the trips he takes. Don't fall for their sales pitch. When I started six more people started and half of them quit the next day. This has been the worst job ever!!! Many false promises! If you don't sell anything you don't get paid. You work from 9am - 8:30pm

Hi Reviewer, Ryan here. I apologize that you had such a terrible experience while we were in Austin temporarily. Allow me to address your comments. 1) We absolutely, 100% work face to face, residential sales for AT&T. We do this because we are paid to go and represent the largest telecom company in the world exactly where the customer base is, their home. We get our leads directly from our client and know exactly where we are going and who we are seeing. 2) I apologize that your opinion of me is that I am "selfish and arrogant who only talks about the trips I take and money." We talk about, and educate about finances, not money, almost on a daily basis. As a former orphan in South Korea, I grew up in and lived in an orphanage until I was 5 before I was adopted by my American parents who were both teachers for my entire life. That means they did not earn a lot of money. So my take on finances is to learn and teach what I never knew as a child. I apologize if the teaching of finances as, to my belief, is very underwhelming in our educational system, is a massive important structure built within our training. The arrogant part, I can not do anything about. Everyone is entitled to their individual opinion of me which is fair. I have my fair share of people who feel as you do and my fair share of people who feel completely opposite, this I feel makes me human. As far as travel, YES! I love to travel. I travel A LOT! It is definitely a passion for me and my wife. We have worked extremely hard to create a life where this is big part of it. I absolutely do share stories from travels and definitely encourage people to put themselves in a position in life to be able to travel everywhere! 3) You warned people not to fall for our sales pitch. Here is the "pitch" If you are not looking for handouts. If you are the person in your current employment who has always worked harder than everyone else, put in more time, produced more but still frustrated that you cannot grow or climb in the company, then our structure may benefit you. If nothing that I wrote describes you, yes this won't be a good fit for you. Much like I advise everyone who asks me what it takes to play professional soccer that doesn't like to run, I say run away from soccer....4) In regards to your comment about wishing that the company go "belly up", a company that I started with nothing but hope and dreams that I left my professional soccer career to start, took a huge chance and moved to Houston while my wife still sorted out her profession in Austin until she could move out with me and did all that without any certainty that we would make it, meanwhile we have grown into 7 other markets across the US since then, I will steal the words from much smarter men than myself. Martin Luther King said "Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" so in that light, reviewer, I honestly do hope you find that perfect job that gives you everything you desire and hope for and wish you nothing but health and happiness because I internally believe that there is enough in this world for everyone to be successful. Again, we go face to face, so our door is always open, so please feel free to come into the office and address any concerns that the above comments did not address.

Pros

This was truly the experience of a lifetime. Like many other graduates, I left college with a degree, but without any concrete skills. Vaddo has hands down helped me master the skills vital to success: a consistently good work ethic, time management skills, how to perform and produce, and so much more. If you want to be a business owner, THIS is your starting place. You are trained every day, and you have personal coaches to help you with whatever your weaknesses are. You WILL learn all of the ins and outs of business. No other job is going to give you the massive amount of resources this job does. If you plan to pursue a deeper career in sales such as pharmaceutical, THIS is also your starting place. You will have the experience needed to excel in that field, and also the resume (facts and figures) to get you there. Last, but not least: I LOVE the people. Only the most charismatic, caring, energetic, and fun individuals work here. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, so if you love diversity you'll definitely love it here. The atmosphere is always upbeat, and the company events are very enjoyable. I recommend this job to inspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone else who wants to develop skills that will help them succeed in any other career path.

Cons

None. I pre-judged the company because the boss is so young, but that man has knowledge and wisdom beyond his years. I had to leave due to personal issues, but would still be there if I didn't.
