Pros

Located conveniently; I cannot really think of actual pros that you seek in a job. You might make friends being around people your age.

Cons

Very secretive about everything. You guys consistently made false promises and took advantage of me and other naive people. You pay lower than minimum wage and don't tell people that we are Independent contractors; this is illegal. You post the opportunity as a job posting and you talk about building a business well maybe not all of us want to build a business. Also filled with some very racist, sexist and homophobic people. People very regularly use racist slurs.

Pros

Great positive energetic atmosphere that gets you fired up to grow and progress in a fast paced environment where growth is determined by what you do rather than in the usual setting I have been in which is who you know.

Cons

You have to be on your game at all times as the management push, drive and challenge you every day to be better.

Pros

The people are pretty fun and easy to talk to. There's minimal seniority so it's a relaxed atmosphere and you learn A LOT in a small amount of time using peer teaching and first hand experience. Everyone is positive to the point of irrationality, Which would explain others post that they seem "sleazy", they're really just positive people who are good talkers. There are a lot of promises that seem too good to be true, and then you find out they are for the most part totally true. Super young environment, which is both a Pro and a Con

Cons

You are basically on your feet for 8-12 hours with about a half hour lunch break. CONSTANTLY. And Speed is your best ally so you are running around for about a 2 miles a day over 5-6 days a week. No matter how they spin it, it is still a commission based job so your performance is totally up to you and people you interact with that day.
