Pros

Standing all day in sams club Walmart etc. trying to sell direct tv to consumers who don't even watch television any more because of fire sticks and various other ways of watching tv ...my experience with this company was very negative to the point where I just quit and I come from a very successful sales background.

Cons

"Mangers" where younger than me which was a red flag. If you want to drive all over houston selling a product consumers are no longer interested in wasting your time ,gas( which they don't pay for), putting extra mileage on your vehicle, and stressing out over keeping a job then apply . People do not stay long here once they realize the pyramid scheme this job is . You do not get commission until you sign at least 5 people up for direct tv so even if you sale but don't reach a certain number you will only get base pay. Any one with common sense and respect for themselves will not lower there standards to be a side show for 8$ an hour. Would do better driving Uber. And they say it's a management training program but in reality it is all about sales. And the mangers they have lack REAL management skills . It is my duty as a human being to let people know what this job is like I said I quit and was not fired so there is no bad blood just want people to know the real deal

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on us. Our main concern with this feedback is the impression that individuals younger than yourself are not capable of leadership or management. The reason we are the leading firm for entry level associates is because we pride ourselves on offering training and mentorship rather than a tenure business motive. Additionally, we have never started out anyone at $8/hr but all hourly pay can be discussed with the hiring manager and it is also based upon your experience. We also give unlimited opportunity for bonuses and incentives - so the level of your success is determined by your level of commitment and work ethic. Also- Our time is split between the office and our clients location, nonetheless, none of our employees have to drive all over Houston - this is NOT a door to door or business to business company. I would appreciate if you reached out directly to HR to discuss your concerns @ hr@fiveninesolutionstn.net

Pros

The leads and supervisors are with you supporting you and helping you reach your goals with whatever you need. It's a great supportive system. The work was very rewarding, though it was a lot of hours. Also, the growth opportunities are amazing if you put in the work. I got promoted just 2 months into it, and that's a testament to the amazing support you have access to.

Cons

It's really fast paced, you often work many hours. I also usually worked on Saturdays as well.
