• Management is pretty dishonest—they tell you in interviews before you get hired and almost daily after being hired how it’s “more than a sales job”. In reality for 99% of the people who pass through there, that is all it ends up being. • You drive your car A BUNCH and will not get compensated for gas or car troubles because “how else will you get motivated” • If you get promoted you get awarded with more work for literally no more money • Pretty ridiculous schedule. You meet in the office every morning for “motivation” (brainwashing you to buy in to their exploitation) and hammering the sales tactics like a robot. Then you get to go to a BJ’s or Sam’s Club and harass customers and convince them to buy AT&T lines that they don’t need. • With the wonky schedule and extra driving, you end up dedicating 50-60 hours of your week to the job and only get paid for 40. But don’t tell management that, because they’ll accuse you of not working hard enough or not seeing the long term vision • The long term vision they sell you (becoming a manager) is only attained by a small amount of people. And a lot of those people still work a ton—often even more than the entry level people • Turnover is really high because people really quickly realize how exploitative the business model of Acquire is. Management will alienate those who leave by accusing them to have a “wrong mindset” or “not understanding the business”. • Reality is, the people who stay with the company are being sold a pipe dream. Acquire’s employees are often very young or very desperate people, which makes them even easier targets for exploitation and fake promises of “a better future”
