Pros

The people are welcoming and are very positive about the success of everyone in the company. The morning meetings every day definitely made you feel excited about doing well as an individual and a company. There were many opportunities to get rewarded for good performance like prizes and work trips.

Cons

I felt like I was being lied to all the time. Even though they sell you on the fact that you will move up within the company, it didn't seem like the people above me were doing anything different but training and they were still along side of us doing the same thing every day. They're not upfront about the fact that you are standing at a retail store bothering customers by chasing them and trying to sell them on a product or company. Even when I asked about the day to day tasks on the interview, they were very vague. The company culture is very frat-like. They used humiliation tactics a lot which I found odd. For example, during the meetings if you dropped your pen they made you spin a wheel and the consequences would be things like push ups and wall sits. Another example, the manager threatened to throw a pie in my trainer's face if he didn't outperform him. The hours were also crazy considering a lot of days you're at the office at 8am and working until 7pm. I generally didn't feel comfortable working there.

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.
