Pros

None. It is all hype!

Cons

100% Commission. No travel reimbursement. Must go to training (not paid). Company will book you appointments up to two hours away and sometimes multiple appointments in one day. It is a one-close sale - meaning you must get the people to agree to buy a $17,000 kitchen on the spot. People will get mad. There is no follow-up allowed if they do not buy and you've wasted all that time, money and energy, not to mention gas and wear and tear on your car. If you bid the job wrong, you are ultimately responsible for the expense. They expect you to be available 6 days a week and you will work long nights and sometimes not get home until 11 PM. You will also be required to participate in daily and weekly phone calls, as well as mandatory meetings at Corporate. Check out the high turn over rate! Senior management berates sales team. Poor management.

Pros

Commission is advanced not paid upon completion of job! As other reviewers have stated. It’s 100% commissioned, as is any real sales role. You can switch your availability week to week to assimilate your schedule. It’s an independent contractor role that includes access to an amazing health care package. Being an independent contractor means I’m able to write off any/all car maintenance and gas on taxes. New laptop, cell phone, desk for my office... the list goes on.

Cons

Didn’t have a location in Florida!!

Pros

Flexible schedule. You get to make your own hours.

Cons

You're only paid if you set an appointment which is then verified. Setting appointments itself can be tricky, and I admit I wasn't very good at it; however, most of the appointments I set ended up not being verified, which meant I wasn't paid for them. Looking at how other employees were doing, this seems to be pretty typical. I was terminated from this job, with no reason given for my termination, shortly after getting out of the hospital following an emergency surgery (which my bosses knew about). My manager didn't even inform me of my termination until a week after I first contacted her about it. Note that the higher-ups at this company are all very chatty and would frequently call me to check in or give advice, which was one of the things I liked about the job; however, when I was terminated I received no word whatsoever until I reached out repeatedly, and was then informed via a brief text message. Losing the job didn't bother me so much as the lack of professionalism and communication regarding my termination did. As the headline states, I was spending more money than I was making at this job, between having to pay for the work apron and the amount of money I spent on transportation costs. Unless you're certain you can succeed at a job that only pays on a commission basis, I don't recommend taking a gamble on this company as you may end up in worse financial shape than you were prior to taking the position.
