Vantaggi
Free stuff, nice people, fun "college" culture.
Svantaggi
This is the kind of sales job that preys on young, just out of college students, who have little clue about how real jobs are supposed to look. Unfortunately, despite knowing the risk I took a job here and while people were nice, the environment was fun, and all the other cool stuff HA prides itself in were all pretty much true, these were not enough to gloss over the serious problems that were present. First and foremost, HA has a script that is universal for their hundreds of sales reps. Lies and manipulation are built into this script. While the product you are selling is legitimate and the need and service are above board, the way you are selling it is not honest. For me, I had to choose my integrity over a paycheck-and I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Additionally, all of their leads are people HA has called many times. They pride themselves on having so many in their pipeline, but only after you get in the door do they tell you that these are people who hear from HA all the time which makes your job that much more difficult. Sure, you can make money, but you're just manipulating people who have already said "no" into saying "yes." I don't know about you, but my aspirations are not to argue and manipulate people into buying a product. It's not worth your integrity and it's not worth the stress.
