Pros

This company has an incredibly high turnover rate, so look forward to seeing new faces every other week. You'll at least make a few friends

Cons

-$9/hr with no commission until you break even -You have to use your own personal vehicle for transportation with little to no compensation. Seriously, you'll get $35 flat for a trip to Cookeville. That's less than 20¢/mile without hourly pay -The office is smaller than my apartment and it doesn't have chairs or air conditioning -No lunch breaks. You're literally encouraged to skip meals (but still log them without pay) because you want to "reach your goals." Also you can't leave the Sam's Club or retailer where the event is taking place -You're also encouraged to stay longer than your shifts to meet this goals -- WITHOUT PAY. If you leave early, you're reprimanded in a weird exchange of gaslighting/emotional manipulation about your "growth" -There's no real growth here. The business is failing, despite it being open for only 7 months. No one has been promoted to even Assistant Management -Your boss and most of your coworkers are unqualified for the position they pitch you. There's no real competition -- anyone is hired. The manager is literally a college dropout and only a handful of employees have degrees To summarize, this is a pyramid scheme. If you've made it to Glassdoor, listen. The positive reviews are fake and written by management. They'll try and convince you that we weren't right for this job, but really we just had the common sense to get out. Disregard all of the various positions that are listed with this company; it is a direct sales job. You will stand inside of a Sam's Club and sell shoddy hair dryers. Next

Pros

Alliance Event Management has been the best job I've ever had. The environment was energetic, upbeat and everyone was supportive of each other, but the best thing about the business was the owner! When you were down, she lifted you up. When you made a mistake, she was there to help you. If you needed someone to watch your child so that you could work, she did it! If you couldn't afford food, she'd buy you food! If you didn't have money for gas and couldn't get to work, she would give you the money. Without a doubt, she was the best owner anyone could dream of having.

Cons

The only cons to this business are the people leaving one star reviews who used to work there. At Alliance Event Management, you had the ability to make as much or as little money as you desired. You gained as much or as little knowledge as you wished. You moved up in the company at the pace you wanted. All of these trash reviews were left by weak minded people who are ignorant and short sighted and couldn't hold themselves accountable for the goals that they set for themselves!

Pros

Good if you like working for $9, every weekend, and driving all over East Tennessee. Also good if you like being forced to do work without getting paid in order to be promoted.

Cons

From the very beginning everything was a plethora of misleading information and false hopes of earning a decent living. In the interview process they fill you with the idea that you will be an "Executive Manager" or Owner in training which is what the position I applied for online was. They also spit all this false information about how much you will make and the commission scale that makes sense to no one. Only once they reel you in and hire you do you find out that everyone is in training and that no one has been promoted to even Assistant Management since it has been opened let alone Ownership like they preach when you are hired and that you've just been hired into a pyramid scheme with no chance for any success. The "owner" (who is a kid with no business experience or knowledge) likes to play dress up and make everyone dress in "Business Professional" attire to all meetings only to have you stand in a room with no chairs or air conditioning and write on white boards. You also are required to go to meetings or "business dinners" (which are just meeting at Starbucks for 30 minutes to chat about nothing) outside of work without getting paid in order to move up and be promoted. Very unprofessional and unethical company.
