Pros

Express Seattle had good benefits, it was a relatively easy job, it's pretty autonomous, and it CAN BE great pay if you're a grinder and deal with rejection well. It's a tough job, for every 50 losses, you might get 1 win. But if you stick with it and can be successful in this role, any sales position for the rest of your career will be a cakewalk.

Cons

The owner says that he is hands on and will mentor you, but you'll be lucky to see him, or interact with him more than once a week. It's essentially door to door sales, and there are essentially no opportunities to move up, or be promoted unless your branch owner wants to make you a general manager, or a co-owner. It's also hard to sell a product you don't believe in, and it's hard to believe in it when you're telling clientsthat an employee who gets paid $16/hr will cost $30/hr. Or if they want to direct hire an employee outright, they'll have to pay 20% of their salary to Express. They're also unrealistic on some "KPIs". I was given "door pull" goals and had to go to 50+ businesses/week prospecting. Often I was told to go to high end skyrise towers and go door to door "until you get kicked out by security".

Pros

I have a hard time saying anything good about this place. If I had to say something, there was room to grow into different positions.

Cons

Small office space Toxic workplace Gossiping constantly about one another When I was given something to do with socials, I was told Im not doing enough for recruiting. Would switch to solely focus on recruiting and then told Im not doing enough for socials. I was always put in a lose lose situation with what was expected of me in my job. I was threatened over a parking space. When I tried talking to management I was dismissed. Unprofessionalism, coworkers would openly talk bad about candidates. With a small office space everyone can hear including people who came into interview. Highly disorganized I could go on and on...
