Pros

Everyone is friendly and motivating, unfortunately it feels like intentional love bombing to distract from all the horribleness of this company.

Cons

I originally applied for a Brand Representative position to a company listed as ‘Excel Marketing’, but after being hired, I learned that was not a company that existed and it was actually Acquire Marketing, listing jobs under a different name. During interviews they were very vague about what the day to day would look like/what the responsibilities would be, even asking for a specific outline of what I would be expected to do. They lure you in by telling you all the well known brands they do ‘marketing’ for like apple. They presented the position as a marketing position where I would be working with existing clients on marketing campaigns and tracking stats/sales. When I show up for my first day of training, they assign us to different stores (costco, bj’s, sam’s) to sell phone and internet plans. At no point during the interviewing process or training were we ever informed that this would be a strictly sales position, requiring long days and weekends for $12/hour. This job is a scam.

We are sorry to hear about your negative experience. We understand the importance for employers to be transparent about job responsibilities and provide accurate information during the hiring process. We will review with our team to ensure the initial job description and the actual role you were assigned are aligned. With that being said, all of our current open positions do entail Sales, as do many businesses that generate reviews for their clients. For other future applicants, we recommend ensuring you understand the nature of what the business does to have a clear understanding on how they do business and if it aligns with what you are looking for. With that being said if brought to our attention, our management team would be more than happy to provide clarification or address any misunderstandings that occurred during the hiring process.

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.
