Pros

meet some nice people. anyone can do this job small chance to progress everyone starts at the bottom if you want to stand in Home Depot or Sams club selling a service this is for you!

Cons

play obvious favorites, potential to move up but very limited and takes a long time. you have to train people below you to move up but the turn over rate is too fast to achieve that manager flashes "expensive" watch at you as motivation "my watch is worth more than you'll make in the month" people really only care about how much money you can make. requires no smarts or knowledge. just common sense its not marketing. purely sales in retailers long hours. make you get there at 730am, but don't pay you until 8 they don't pay for travel or gas, but require you to drive to multiple locations, and you're not on the clock while you're traveling even though its mandatory. was told to get a better portfolio, and a manicure to look professional. gather 20+ people in a small room to talk about daily goals and boast they talked a lot about psychology of this job- it doesn't apply at all. should have followed my instincts that it was a strange work place

Dear reviewer, Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback! We're sorry to hear that we didn't have a longterm fit here, but we're glad that you met some nice people along the way! In regards to your comments on the growth potential of the company, we only promote from within to make sure that there are advancement opportunities within the company for those that work for it as opposed to those that have simply been here longest, but we apologize if that came off as management playing favorites. We've had multiple team members in the last year move from an entry-level position into management, so it's definitely more than possible! As for our manager's comment, we apologize if his comment came off the wrong way. Our corporate culture is based off of hard work ethic and humility, but we will look into this claim. We do dress business professionally in the office, but that in no way means someone is required to get a manicure. Such suggestions would be unwarranted unless in a case that would affect the image of our clients. Also, before anyone accepts the position, we have a meeting with them and ask if they have any questions or reservations regarding any positions they might accept with us and all of our candidates are more than welcome to take time to make a decision. No one, by any means, is forced to accept positions with our company. Again, thanks for the feedback and best of luck with everything moving forward!

Pros

You might meet some cool co-workers while working here. I personally did. Also, the office park this place is headquartered at is pretty nice.

Cons

You have to wake up real early, dress in business professional every morning, and be at this uptown office park by 7 AM. You will be expected to arrive early, even if you don't get paid (I was SPECIFICALLY told to arrive more than 15 minutes earlier than I was scheduled for or else I would be considered "late"). Once you arrive, you will do very little and talk about stuff that could have just been an email for about an hour in a half. You will be expected to write everything down in a notebook to prove you are "paying attention". Then you will leave, go stand in the frozen foods aisle of a Costco for 8 hours whilst approaching and annoying passing grocery shoppers with the same tagline over and over until you can finally convince someone to subscribe to a lowly-rated water delivery service or whatever product they are having you promote at the time, which you will get $50 for. If you don't do these enough times by the end of the week, well, then congratulations you just wasted your time.

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that our team members are only scheduled and compensated for their agreed-upon hours, and we do not require unpaid work. Punctuality and professionalism are expectations in any client-facing role, but they are never tied to unpaid time. Our morning meetings are structured training sessions focused on skill development, communication, and performance coaching - which are essential in a sales and marketing environment. Field marketing in retail settings is also clearly communicated during the hiring process, as it is a core part of the position. We strive to be transparent about responsibilities, compensation structure, and growth opportunities from the start, and we encourage candidates to ask questions to ensure the role aligns with their goals. We appreciate all feedback and continuously work to improve the experience for our team.
