Pros

Absolutely zero pros. Not one.

Cons

This "company" is a complete lie from top to bottom. They lie to you from the start and promise big money when in reality you are thrown into a Costco to sell Direct TV. This company operates on lies and deceit to get as many people to work for them as possible. It's a pyramid scheme in its truest form. The highest turnover rate of employees I've ever seen. This company is completely unethical. I would have given it zero stars if that was an option.

Dear reviewer, First, we would like to thank you for your feedback as we appreciate feedback regardless of the nature. Second, we would like to say that we are very sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience with our firm as we foster a positive work environment and strive for all of our employees to have a positive experience. Additionally, we are not kidding ourselves here obviously not everyone is going to have a positive experience, yet will keep trying. : ) To address some of your concerns, we are sorry to hear that you feel as if you were lied to throughout the interview process as we pride ourselves on being transparent throughout this process. Thus, we are unsure as to how this occurred as we clearly lay out exactly what the position entails and we even conduct a job shadow within the interview process so that the applicant can fully understand exactly what they would be doing on an everyday basis with our company. We definitely intend to look into this and see where we went wrong here if anywhere as we don’t hear this often. Furthermore, we have a 3-round process which establishes the day to day of each respective position and we encourage our applicants to ask questions, which we will continue to do in order to avoid situations such as this. Additionally, to address your assertion in regards to pyramid schemes, pyramid schemes are a form of investment (illegal in the US and elsewhere) in which each paying participant recruit two further participants, with returns being given to early participants using money contributed by later ones. All of our team members are W4 and I9 employees and are paid hourly or salary guaranteed wages. Therefore, employees are paid by us, the employer, weekly like most companies. Funds are not reallocated elsewhere. We understand that a system based on growth from within is rare to find and what is unfamiliar does tend to evoke fear and confusion, however, that doesn't mean that we are a pyramid scheme. Other companies, such as Hertz and BCBS also have similar structures if you'd like to do some research. Also to address your assertion in regards to turnover, since the summer has started, we have started our internship program. As is normal with internships and entry-level positions, people are welcome to try something new and decide if it is for them or not, but we apologize if this was misinterpreted. Our full-time employees are very happy here and many have been with us for quite some time. Furthermore, to address your concern as far as our ethics, we strive to maintain the highest level of ethics and understand that when you set the bar high sometimes you do fall short. However, we have yet to see a ton of evidence that we are falling as short of this as you have cited. We have an A++ rating on the Better Business Bureau, we have been cited as the Best and Brightest in Atlanta as well as nationwide multiple years in a row and have received numerous other accolades as well. Lastly, we would like to again thank you for your feedback and hope that you find a position that suits you well.

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.
