Pros

When I first started, I was impressed! Beautiful building, great location, seemingly nice people. However, that fades if you're at all aware and observant. You start out as a base and then quickly move up to "trainer" which you DON'T get paid extra for, and are given a team to manage. You're a manager with the SAME pay as the people you're bringing in!! No.

Cons

Everything. You're expected to attend morning meetings where the give you a super long pep-talk and make you feel good and then you spend the rest of the time going over what you already know. It's really repetitive and annoying. The pay is super low - $10 an hr UNLESS you sell more than $400 a week in products (which is sell phones at Sam's Club and Costco and BJ's - Those annoying people that bombard you as soon as you walk in the door just trying to get groceries). These things are NOT made clear during the hiring process. I asked MULTIPLE times what exactly I'd be doing and was given responses like "we work with top providers in box retailers to provide an experience unlike all others to the customers". Fancy, I know. I was intrigued. But it's all a scam. PLEASE listen to these reviews. We're telling the truth. Acquire regularly asks its brainwashed employees to post reviews to help combat the bad (truthful) ones. I didn't listen - it was a mistake.

Dear Reviewer, We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. As is common with all of our employees, Acquire takes the time to conduct three separate interviews over the course of 48-96 hours. During that time, all offerings are covered, including travel, benefits, and compensation (which would also include time grace periods to receive those benefit options). We can read that you feel this was not made clear to you, and we will take this into consideration and our hiring practices moving forward. For your reference, Glassdoor offers the feature for employers to invite employees to write reviews about their experience! We understand right now is a hard time for many Americans with the pandemic. With this unexpected crisis, many businesses, much like ourselves, are faced with hard decisions, which includes employment. We expect this time is difficult for many of our prior employees who were laid off during this time. Though your experience was not what we would like to read about, we appreciate your feedback and wish you felt comfortable to approach either the management or administrative team to express your concerns. We wish you the best during this time and in your career search. Acquire Human Resources Department

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.
