Avantages

Hiring process goes quick. If you're desperate for (a tiny bit of) money, work here a couple weeks while applying for something better.

Inconvénients

Expected to talk to 100+ people an hour selling pillows/skincare/sheets/haircare, etc. This means standing at a table in HEB, Sams Club, or Costco and harassing every single person walking by. Expectedly, the people are usually rude or irritated. They don't want or need your product. They say you'll only be making $8/hr with NO BENEFITS WHATSOEVER for a short time, in less than a year you'll be earning six figures and running your own office. Everyone admires how much owners and managers make and how they can afford to go on vacations whenever, buy expensive cars, whatever, but no one asks why they can't afford the ones who are really working more than $8/hr, or maybe provide some health insurance. If you're hitting net goals, the office doesn't pay you anything at all, the client (ex. pillow company) does. The workplace culture is creepy. Everyone treats LOA (Law of Averages) like it's a religion. "Trust in LOA! LOA always plays out if you do xy and z!" Turnover is crazy high too. Jennifer employees 10-15 people, but 1-3 quit every week which means she's hiring 1-3 people a week too. That's why she does interviews all day. She can't hold on to an employee longer than a few months. But no one in the office is ever allowed to say anything negative or bring up the missing faces. They just chant the same approved messages. They also give you your schedule the day of, and never more than a week ahead of time. And you'll spend at least 2 hours a day on the road.

Avantages

Gained many valuable skill sets needed to be successful in any business. The people are friendly, encouraging, positive and fun. The exec manager goes above and beyond for her people and provides every resource for them to grow in the company. The business module is very simple and proven very successful. A People building people business. If you're a self motivated, self starter type of person this is perfect. Requires lots of time and energy but the end all goal is amazing.

Inconvénients

Only con is that it is a full time gig. Not just fourth hours a week. It consumes your whole life. Which is awesome and exciting with a great goal to be met at the end. Not for everyone though. And that's okay.

Avantages

Excellent at teaching how to lie to people: employees, new hires, and customers.

Inconvénients

Everything about this company, owner, employees is crap. They are professional liars. All the systems you learn are just in place to help you become a successful liar, but the moment you start to question ANYTHING, you get a convo and will either be sent home or fired. They don't need you. And if you have ANYONE you love in your personal life, you must be willing to choose work over them. Because any speck of personal life you had prior to working here is GONE. They will literally preach it in the office every morning. Sacrifice time now for time later. But that time will never come. Everything they tell you is a lie. This business will only work for you if you are willing to work and commit every moment outside of work to this business.
