Pros

Made good money from hourly. The benefits were very good.

Cons

Lots of workplace drama. People who should've been fired for harassment, theft, and stalking had no repercussions. Was constantly yelled at by customers and bad mouthed by some mangers. The store position took a lot of hate as there is no communication between stores and call centers. Call centers would force you to break business rules or face repercussions for customers then your management would get mad. Also same management would not provide advice on how to correct what was wrong so you could succeed. you would lose sales even when following the business rules because the store managers force you to break the rules so customers will be happy and then get mad at you. Hr provides only some assistance of mediating any of it. When customer are aggressive verbal or physical you still have to power through as management may not do anything. Lastly even when pushing your sales, coworkers and other people can take them from you as well as not be able to make any sales in poorer communities as even minimum numbers met does not guarantee any good amount of commission

Pros

I've worked as an RCS in the Daytona Beach market and my experience has been very positive. Like any outside sales position, success comes down to attitude, consistency, and following a proven system. The reps who struggle are often looking for shortcuts, while the reps who put in the time, learn the process, and stay coachable tend to do very well. Pros: Strong earning potential with uncapped commissions Flexible schedule and independence in the field Supportive teammates and leadership Excellent products that solve real customer needs. More than most of the competition. Opportunities to grow and increase income over time The biggest advantage is that you control your own results. If you're willing to work consistently, learn from successful reps, and stick to a proven approach, this can be a very rewarding career. This is not a sit-at-a-desk job. You'll be walking neighborhoods, talking to people, handling objections, and hearing "no" along the way. That's part of sales. If you enjoy meeting people, helping customers, and taking ownership of your success, the role offers significant upside.

Cons

The role requires patience, consistency, and resilience. Many of the customers we speak with are former subscribers who may have left due to a past service issue, billing concern, or negative experience. Reps often have to overcome skepticism and rebuild trust before even discussing current products and promotions. There is definitely a learning curve, and success doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to learn the territory, understand customer concerns, and develop the communication skills needed to turn difficult conversations into opportunities. Reps who remain coachable, follow a proven system, and stay consistent with their activity tend to perform much better over time.
