Pros

None, it’s almost cult like. Post grads, so it’s nice to be around people my age. Sad to see all the interviews they have every day, literally the whole office is set up for interviews. You’re only at the office for like an hour to “practice pitching” they call it “atmosphere”

Cons

Lied to, they say you’ll be a “marketing manager”. Then you’ll be taught a pitch to irritate shoppers in places such as Home Depot, Sams Club or Cosco. They don’t pay for your mileage, you drive all over the state of Georgia. Its funny that you’re asked to wear a suit when you’re not even making $1000 a week. Base is $10 an hour and then you get paid commission, ONLY if the lead you signed up goes through with the appointment (Home Depot). DONT work here

Dear Reviewer, First, we would like to say thank you for your feedback as we appreciate all feedback regardless of the nature. Second, would like to mention that we have not worked with Home Depot directly for more than six months, so we're a bit confused by this review coming up now. Third, we would like to say that this role is not for everyone as you mentioned in your review there is opportunity for growth and advancement for those that put in the effort, but not everyone becomes a manager. Just like any job, there are employees and management, the effort put forth, commitment, and overall constitution of the individual are typical what determines the difference. No, we don't cover gas. However, we do frequent give out bonuses and gas cards that employees can use how they would like. Furthermore, we are not Multi Level Marketing. Multi Level Marketing deals with residual income and requires employees to make a downpayment or purchase the product they sell before they begin working with the company. We pay our employees and do not require them to pay to work here. Thank you for your feedback 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.
