              This company has all of my information including social security number, phone number, email address, and any other personal information. I have been called on multiple accounts and told them that I was not interested. I would like them to get rid of any and all information they have of mine. This company targets college students, promising “$25 an hour” when in reality is asking them to sell their overpriced product to potential customers. I feel as though this company should be investigated and this company needs to stop targeting College students.

              Great company with great people. Some people had some negative things to say when i started, but I couldn't disagree more. My skills are better than they have ever been and I am learning skills that I have always had a hard time with like communication and time management. My family and friends also loved seeing me be all professional, haha. The job helped me reconnect with some family that i do not talk to that often which was a great plus. Not sure why more people don't take advantage of this opportunity!
