Pros

This job caused me to update my business casual wardrobe, which I needed to do anyway.

Cons

Walking around a Sam’s Club or Costco badgering people to sign up for Direct Tv, cell phone service, etc, 5 hours at a time type of “marketing” Schedule and location changes can happen at a moment’s notice, (likely due to high turnover) and locations will be as far out as Fayetville. Mandatory 7-9 a.m. daily meetings where you are to stand in a room with no A.C., full of people, to get amped up role-playing sales pitches for the next experience out on the “field” (Sam’s or Costco)

Acquire Response

Dear Sir or Madam, We would like to begin by thanking you for your review of Acquire. While your review may not all be positive, we are happy to see you still have a positive outlook on our company as a whole and glad you saw enough of something you liked, which prompted you to accept our job offer. In response to your review, we want to apologize if our daily meetings or any part of our work schedule was an inconvenience to you. As you know, we represent our clients within the membership clubs you mentioned in your feedback. Our form of promotional marketing and sales requires us to communicate face-to-face with our clients’ customers within those retailers. This information can be found on our website, www.acquireraleigh.com, within the ‘Clientele’ section and is also covered in our interview process. Our interview process consists of three separate “rounds,” during which we cover, in depth, all job duties the position entails. With that said, we are not without flaws and if we failed to thoroughly go over this during your interview, we sincerely apologize for any confusion we may have caused. Our clients are our top priority so if there are ever last minute changes to our schedule, it is most likely due to a client request/need or an employee of ours has an emergency schedule conflict that we are trying to work around. It would not be due to turnover rate. When it comes to our job listings, we take them very seriously and always want to be as transparent as possible. Promotional marketing, lead generation, leadership development and new client acquisition are also a large part of what we do here at Acquire, and are sometimes even more significant than the sales aspect of our company. This is why not all of our open positions have “sales” listed in the job posting title. However, after thoroughly reading and discussing your feedback with our Careers Department, they will begin carefully combing through our open positions that involve any type of sales or sales transactions to ensure those job postings include “sales” within the description as well as in the job duties. Hopefully we were able to provide some clarity regarding any concerns you may have had about Acquire. Again, thank you for your constructive feedback and we wish you the very best! Kind Regards, Acquire Human Resources Dept.

Pros

The team outings are fun, but that is literally the only pro.

Cons

They lie about what you're doing (selling phones in a Costco or Sam's), berate you, and lie about the hours.
