Pros

You will quickly learn how much you value yourself.

Cons

Company makes you come in for 3 rounds of interviews so that you think you worked really hard to get the position. At the last "on site" interview you realize that these events are actually you standing in BJs for hours trying to push products onto people. Owner makes it sound so cool and like your in an exclusive group of elites. But really your just as annoying as the cable companies harassing walmart customers by the electronics isle. There's team building activities like as if your in summer camp, and meetings were you act out your pitches for the owner to perfect so that just maybe, one person, might actually buy the junk at your booth. There's between 4-9 employees that constantly rotate out. No one stays at this miserable job.

Pros

"Pros"? Haha, nice joke.

Cons

The first job I ever had out of college, and by far the worst. You would be forced to stand in a Sam's Club for somewhere between 8-12 hours per day at a booth and hock miscellaneous items to passers-by. You would get ignored, yelled at, generally demoralized, etc. for harassing customers who were only in there to shop. Oh, and you worked for 12 continuous days (yes, this includes weekends) to earn one day off. And on your "day off," you would still be required to report in to the office for a "morning meeting," which in reality was just a brainwashing session where the CEO would attempt to convince her mindless sheep that this was a fruitful career path. The entire thing was so horrendous that it became comical. Words cannot express how proud I am that the owner shut this business down.
