Pros

You can work from home.

Cons

Used to be a good place to work, but lately they have been constantly changing their pay/commission structure, several times in the past year alone & never for the benefit of the worker when they do. As you can imagine, they have a very high turn-over of people.

Pros

The online training was short and provided decent information. If you like calling businesses that have already been called repeatedly and doing that from home, this might work out for you.

Cons

Initially, people are told there is an hourly wage plus commission (that isn't completely based on your performance but the next sales person where the call is transferred). However, the candidates are supposed to work for free before they tell you if you are "hired". They tell you upfront that they won't pay you the hourly wage for the first "training" day. I almost believe they "hire" weekly in order to get free labor regularly. In other words, don't leave a paying job to do their orientation, computer setup, and training day which are all during the typical work day and unpaid in addition to the online training that can be done at any time of day (which is also unpaid). They've comingled the employee vs. independent contractor status by requiring employee duties of an independent contractor. (You should read the "independent contractor" agreement....) I don't know if they'll be in business long enough to face an IRS audit or if they'll figure it out first. It's a new company, and they are making a lot of mistakes.

We are sorry that we could not offer you a position after the trial, however, a trial is a common practice among many call center and telemarketing companies and this is discussed during the interview process. Currently, we are targeting East Coast businesses & as we grow, we will expand further West.
