Decent Entry Level Position - Event Marketing Specialist Techtronic Industries Employee Review

With all due respect, where do I begin. TTI is a successful company that is experiencing a lot of growth right now, however they need to make drastic changes in order to sustain this growth. Lets start with the recruitment process; recruiters are often not honest about the details of the actual job position. Many times candidates are lied to about what their job will actually consist of in order to hit their recruitment goals. Besides this, TTI has an extremely linear way of thinking and begins every new employee in the same role as an "Event Marketing specialist". Honestly, the job itself is not that bad and quite easy. You will find yourself hanging out in Home Depot and a lot of the times bored. The main problem with this is your "performance" is measured by how your store is performing and you will see terrible reps promoted before hard working reps simply because they have a lucky store that performs better. Managers will constantly be promising you promotions and positions that don't exist. Not to mention, in order to get promoted you have to either be willing to relocate to either Wisconsin, South Carolina, North Carolina, or literally anywhere else in the country at their choosing if you wish to remain working out in the field. On top of managers making false promises to their reps, you will find that many managers are fresh out of college, only been with the company a couple months longer than you, and often times just flat out lost. Due to TTI experiencing a lot of growth at this moment, they have forced a bunch of 23-25 year olds into manger positions (since the company doesn't outside hire) and this has caused a lot of problems. Besides managers being lost, you will see many managers play favorites and will only put you up for promotions if you are on their good side. I have talked with many reps and they all agree, the culture has become pretty toxic because of this. All in all, the company culture has become pretty toxic and the structure is messy and unorganized.
