"A MONKEY COULD DO THIS JOB" - Event Marketing Specialist Techtronic Industries Employee Review

Where do I even begin with the never-ending list of cons for this job? If you have a college degree, run away from this job listing. - 40 hours a week in Home Depot, Walmart, or Target - Recruiters will ask "if you are willing to work some weekends", they will completely hide from you that you will be working 29/52 weekends of a fiscal year, including every weekend from April-August (goodbye summer and social life) - The most useless job tasks you could imagine such as: dusting off display tools, rearranging boxes in the outdoor tools aisle, down stocking boxes from upper shelves, setting up a sales table (which you have to take a picture of to send to management every single day) - Sales numbers are completely dependent on if your store is high volume (if no one comes into your store there is nothing you can do to increase sales) - NO COMMISSIONS OR INCENTIVES on sales. (The best bonus I got for selling 10s of thousands of dollars of TTi product was a $10 dollar Dunkin gift card) - TTi claims upward mobility and swift promotions, but if you want to be promoted you have to move to Milwaukee or South Carolina - Promotions are given out to managers favorite employees, just an absolutely vile company culture. - YOU WILL BE VERBALLY ABUSED by customers and store associates (if you are a female the abuse is much much worse) - The company car/truck is heavily taxed, and company will make you pay for it - This is not even a salary job. They use a third party system to track hours, (you will get screamed at if you clock in at 7:01 rather than 7:00) - This job is literally so useless. No one will know if you are in the store or you are not, but the company tracks your phone location via GPS - There is no better way to put it other than saying "A MONKEY COULD DO THIS JOB" -I truly believe this job made me a less intelligent human being and was a slap in the face to my college degree. It is like shutting your brain off before going into work. Every.Single.Day. -One of the worst parts is how much emphasis management puts on you taking pictures of customers that buy product (99% of people do not want their picture taken by some random person in a Home Depot, and get offended when you ask) I was on a 10-person team when I started this job in February 2021. By April, 6 employees quit. By August, every person on my team quit. There is a reason the burnout rate of this job is so high. COLLEGE GRADUATES - PLEASE USE YOUR DEGREE AND FIND A COMPANY THAT YOU WILL GROW AT. TECHTRONIC INDUSTRIES IS A SCAM AND THE "JOB" IS TO MAKE TOP-LEVEL MANAGEMENT AS WEALTHY AS POSSIBLE.
