Pros
-Great coworkers -Pay is decent if you don't look at it based on how many hours you're working -Hiring process is quick
Cons
-Don't expect to ever make more than the base pay. Jobs can take 6 months to hit your draw and you'll be so deep into it by then, it won't even matter. -You are expected to work sun up to sun down M-F, with half days on Saturdays. Hopefully you don't like your family, because you won't be seeing them much. If you don't want to come in early and stay late every day you don't make a sale, you're viewed as lazy. -You will be expected to work every day for the next two weeks after a major storm, 12+ hours 7 days per week. -Don't ever plan on leaving early, because you will be questioned on it heavily. -Leads are only given to people who have been there much longer than you have. Don't expect any help from anyone else. -Door knocking. You're bugging people who don't want to be bugged. Your manager will tell you to knock houses that have already told you no. You're also expected to knock houses that have "no soliciting" signs up. -If people slam the door in your face immediately, your boss will blame you and ask what you did wrong. -The money that they give you to pay for your car expenses does not really cover it all with how much driving you have to do. -You are expected to push a sale onto people that you know are going to get denied by their insurance company, just to make the sales quotas look good -Tornado sirens were going off one day and I was told to keep knocking -You have to buy a lot of your own equipment
