Make Your Own Decision... - Account Representative BALBOA Concepts Employee Review

I had a lot of fun working at Balboa. I was there for about a year and I am still in close contact with most people there. I learned a lot about not just marketing but about my self. I grew personally as well as professionally. I was always looking forward to after work and see what I will be doing there. I got to know a lot of different hang out spots because of my coworkers.

If someone does not have the big picture in mind they might think they aren't growing or they are stagnant. It if a lot of work an effort to be something so if someone is not willing to put in the work, i suggest that this isn't for them.

The only pros is going out and having with your co-workers. Whenever you hit a sale I suppose.

They failed to tell me that it was an all commission job. Erin, the owner must have just recently changed it to base plus commission. In 2014 it wasn't the case. They label it as "brand marketing" but you are basically outside, hot or cold, sun or rain, going to door to door (based off of the leads) and try to make sales. That's your job. You are a salesman. No other way to put it. You go to the door, you knock and you hope someone answers. If no one answers, then you go again.Although you learn about marketing skills and such, it's no different than what I learned in school. If you have a bachelor in business, go somewhere else. Don't waste your precious time there. I guess now with the base, it's not that bad, since if you don't make a sale, you will still get money for gas or food. You can apply all of those branding and marketing to major companies without walking everywhere outside. I am still in the marketing and sales sector in my current position and guess what, I still make money and I don't have to work as a salesman. It's even more rewarding. I suggest anyone who works here go and work for an actual 500 fortune company, not a third party who contracts with one.
