Cons
Recruiting: the job was very dishonest and misleading in the interview process. I’m someone who always ask questions in interviews to make sure the company is a good fit for me but the company was definitely lying. I would ask what the day to day activities look like they only talked about the events that you would do and the events were actually only done once a month for sales rep. They told me that the first role is an EMS (event marketing specialist) but there is no marketing what so ever within this job it’s actually really hilarious. They also talk about being able to get promoted and when I ask what is usually the time span they told me 9-14 months . When I got hired there were people for 2 years max. And their sales numbers were good. When they talk about a company vehicle..they say that it is a car but it’s actually a branded truck. I had never drove a truck a day in my life so it was a little nerve wrecking the first day. First day:lets start off by saying i was told that i would be hired as an event marketing specialist but when i got my paper work it said sales rep. my boss made me meet her to pick up my car (truck) and the whole process just seemed really rushed. She gave us the keys and my truck needed an oil change as well as gas. I just feel like if you hired me a month in advance why not make sure the cars are up to date and full of gas. I was actually shocked seeing that it was a truck and it made me nervous to the point where I felt very uncomfortable and I was nervous thinking i would wreck it the entire day. Once we got to the on boarding process it was also very hectic. We got phones that still had passcodes and information from the last employee (the phones should have been wiped) we all sat around one computer trying to do our own boarding stuff. When we should have been told to bring our own laptops. We drove to one of the stores where we just sat down and talked about things that should have been discussed in an interview. That is when i also found out that we were not salaried and got paid by the hour. My boss said, “I’m not paid by the hour. I’m salaried so i don’t have to clock in but you all do” it was just very condescending. Or she told the other person that was helping her do the on boarding process, “i taught you everything you know “ like it just was a belittling thing to say, like remember where you came from I made you. It just made not like the environment. Then I was the only black women out of the people that I was hired with. Even when I would try to start conversation with them you can tell they had already decided to click up where they wanted to. Which made me not feel comfortable in the environment which made me not want to talk as much as I usually tend to do. The first week all we did was resets….we didn’t go over how a day should start or how a typical day would go until day 5 and even then my boss got a phone call so she had to stop talking to us how it would go. The next week we all were in our own stores. I was paired with an ems who really couldn’t tell me much because he was an ems and i was a sales rep..different roles so certain things he would tell me he didn’t know. The job just doesn’t set you up for success. I spent the first week on my own just walking around attempting to do things but there was so many things in the way. Like asking the store associates for help was hard because they had their own work to do or them coming to steal your first phone because they also need it. The job does not give you the training, the tools, or even the help to be successful or to set yourself up for success. The training is awful. I went to school for marketing not to stock shelves. And even if that was what came with the job give more responsibilities to things i would do once i got into an actual marketing role with the company. (Which is hard because they want you to have a management role before u go into marketing) like its just not worth it when you can get a job doing marketing straight out of college. I had this job for 3 weeks lmao. I never quit a job so quick in my life. I was actually embarrassed and my boss told me it was very unprofessional which I agree but at the same time if you guys weren’t lying in the interview I would have not wasted their time or mine. I ended up getting another job and they wanted me to start two weeks after I quit but i was so ready to leave I just hurry up and got it over so I could be well prepared for my ACTUAL marketing job which paid more money than tti. Also side note: when i quit the current employees admitted to the training sucked, they were lied to about what they would be doing, and hated the job, one girl even cried about how she had way too many stores. They are taking advantage of college graduates but idc how much your paying me i went to school do marketing . Not stock shelves and be promised a management role which is not what i wanted.
