I worked for the company for a short time. It sounded like a dream job. I was wrong.
They called me in for an interview. I arrived only to be stuck in a small waiting room with 8 other people. I knew right then that something was wrong. I met with someone for about 10 minutes and was told that they had other people to meet with and might call me back for another interview. They wouldn't discuss money, benefits (There Aren't ANY!!!), or even schedules.
I came back the next day as was told that i would be observing. They made me sign something saything that i wasn't an employee and would be paid at all for the day. I spent the next 8 1/2 hours following someone from door to door trying to sell coupons. They never told me that this was door to door. They told me that the company did have corporate events but i wasn't going to see that aspect. After a couple of hours of Soliciting (which almost every office building, store and resturant prohibits) we stopped for lunch and i had to pay!!! During that lunch, i found out that this job was Full commision, it was door to door, and that the company didn't have any health benefits at all.
After being kicked out of several buildings, and sweating through my slacks and dress shirt with tie (a must everyday), we went back to the building.
I was asked how my day was and if i would interested in coming back. Let me take the time now to explain the office. It is completely unprofessional. The walls are mostly bear with dry erase boards lying everywhere... 3 or 4 manegers seem to use the same office and several of them just walk in during interviews...
Now this may seem like a great job for some and on my first day on my own, I did fairly well. But even so, I made less than 60 bucks BEFORE taxes. That doesn't do anything for me at all. I would have to come in and hope that i made at least 15 sales a day for a 6 day week... You aren't gaurenteed a penny!!! I was paying more in gas to get to the building than i was making not to mention that they don't pay you back for using your personal vehicle. On my first day as a full employee, they asked me to use my car!!!
Please do your research and ask all your questions ASAP. If you don't ask, they won't tell you, TRUST ME...
Any place with NO Health Benefits, Full Comission, and forces you to go Door To Door, and doesn't require any or very little experience, isn't the best place for you to work to support any individual who is hoping of living alone, or paying bills on time...
