Vantaggi

The pay for this position can be good if you are lucky, but it is derived off just that, luck. They tell you where to go and assume you can make constant sales even though you will be pitching to the same market over and over and over again. Eventually it dies down at no fault of your own but you could still be treated like a failure for slow days.

Svantaggi

First things first is morality. When I worked there our job was to put it bluntly scamming people. We would sign them up for a slightly lower electricity rate, hoping they forget about it in 3 months time, then raising the prices astronomically to steal their money. You would hear people talk about being on assisted living or how rough times are and how any increase would ruin them, but you were taught to swallow your pride and scam them anyways. Some conversations with other employees have them justify it by saying "if they forget to cancel before prices get raised thats on them" basically blaming their lack of knowledge on them getting scammed. Along with that there is the obvious pyramid scheme, trying to get you to recruit people under you and grow out your "own business" under their main company which is only done to insulate them incase you get sued for their shady practices they will have you do. This isnt your typical Facebook marketing style pyramid scheme though, but is similar to one shown off in the youtube documentary "slave circle". I recommend giving it a watch if you consider going here. They will want you to work nearly every day and shame you when you dont. They will have you spend nearly 12 hours every day working and commuting for them. But worst of all they use cult style manipulation tactics to try and ruin relationships in your life and make you dependent on ones formed inside the business.

Vantaggi

Kinetics Midwest has a lot of growth opportunities as a company and never limits your chances to succeed. I have been able to move up in the organization due to my work and have continually been growing. Their culture/environment is strong and positive. Coworkers are always there to help you develop your skills and improve through day to day endeavors. I have worked here for almost half a year and have loved the opportunities that have been given to me to expand my knowledge, network, and personal goals. I would highly recommend working here to anyone.

Svantaggi

Currently expanding, so the office is a bit smaller.

Vantaggi

Kinetics provides a great opportunity for anyone that is not interested in sitting at a desk all day every day. If you're serious about your goals, you can get there with the program and a little elbow grease. Our team is like a family and you are included from day one. A mentor is assigned during the second interview and takes you under their wing with so much love to guide you to your goals. The company structure has no seniority and just doing your job helps your coworkers do theirs as well. This may be considered sales, but it's not a competition. Everyone is rooting for everyone. Everyone is willing to help everyone. Everyone is here to reach their goals in life and I believe they will! I read the reviews on GlassDoor before my first interview and I am so glad that I ignored them. Individuals will always find something to be unhappy with and this job isn't easy peasy lemon squeezy. There are multiple different shift options available, so it's literally for anyone. The bonuses are amazing as well :)

Svantaggi

There is a base salary for the sales positions, but you have to make it known that you don't want to receive commission ( which you can make WAY more than base with).
