Pros

- Fun people - Young and diverse group - Clean and modern office

Cons

- Although not technically a pyramid scheme, the company is unfortunately structured in a similar way - Very boring job, you are not challenged in any way, other than the goals that you set yourself to rip off customers - Only motivation is money. People above you make money for every installation even if you don’t reach commission - Very high turnover. They don’t care if you quit as they’ll just hire someone else and promise them the same things - New Acquisitions is NOT a marketing firm. Update your job descriptions. It is a sales office that doesn’t actually design and implement marketing strategies (pricing, advertising, product characteristics...) - They over work you and underpay you, sending you far away and making you pay for gas - Morning meetings (4 times a week starting at 7:30). Leaders and directors don’t know what they are doing... - You have one day off per week...

Dear Reviewer, Thank you so much for your feedback! We love that you appreciated our environment and our office as well! Thank you so much for that! Additionally, thank you for acknowledging that we are not a pyramid scheme, as we are not. We do offer a lot of growth opportunity, which is not typical to the corporate world and thus tends to scare people as people tend to fear the unfamiliar. However, we simply have a lot of legitimate growth opportunities available due to the reputable clients we represent. Furthermore, we apologize that you found the position boring, we acknowledge that it is not for everyone, but boring it is far from. We offer a highly engaging and upbeat work environment in which no two days are the same. As far as money being a motivation, for some people it is; however, we acknowledge that there are a number of things that motivate people and encourage our employees to voice their goals so we can help them achieve them regardless of what their motivation may be. We are a sales and marketing firm, we do focus on both areas. As far as hours, it tends to be 40-45 hours a week, which is typical, to our understanding. We encourage our employees to work together and bounce ideas off each other at the beginning of most work days, again a typical practice, which we prefer to foster rather than discourage. As far as our management team, there is a combined 15 plus years work experience amongst them. Yes, we acknowledge that we are all constantly learning and can always improve; however, we have been recognized multiple years in a row by the BBB as well as Best and Brightest companies for our work. Thank you so much for your feedback again and best of luck to you!

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.
