- They wont pay you enough, then tell you that your 'overtime pay' is your commission - that you generally don't see for many many many months after you close a "deal".
- They operate on the backs of the few performers that have weeded their way into a legitimate corporation as a third party resource.
- Retention is low because the overhead per employee is low so they have no incentive to find reasons to make employees stay - they don't pay you enough and most people don't stay long enough to see commission in any case.
- Know your rights when it comes to how much you should be getting paid and employment law per state- ask to see your ADP account - if you're in California, you're required to put in overtime hours, even if you're "salaried".
- They'll play on how desperate you are to have a job/need money. They'll sell you on the good life using 1-2 people who have made a ludicrous amount of money off a couple good deals. They are the outliers, not the norm.
- Upper management is going to be driving down your throat to make you stay much much later than is probably legally allowed, with thinly veiled threats that if you're not compliant to the extraneous unpaid effort they require out of you, that being put on a performance improvement plan or being forced out will be the next step. Basically, drink the Kool-Aid, or get out.
- They wont offer you basic benefits until after your 90 days, which in most circumstances wouldn't seem so questionable, but I have a hunch that it's because there's a large amount of people who don't even make it that long and they don't want to waste their resources.
