Door to door sales job. They don’t tell you that during the interview. They say it’s a marketing job - Account Manager Boston Direct Employee Review

Pros

If you like door to door sales you can get promoted within a year or two because everyone usually quits once they realize it’s actually a door to door sales job and not marketing.

Cons

They lie and say your sales come from “leads and in home presentations” but when you ask where those come from they change the subject and ask you if you want to be successful and make money or work a boring 9-5 job. They don’t tell you that once you’re hired you’re on your own and if you aren’t good at door to door sales you don’t get paid. Job is also crazy hours and they make you work saturdays. Overall a very sleazy company that pretends to be a fun company but actually just hires anyone that applies and uses them until they quit.

Reviewer, We're sorry to see this feedback, as it's clear we did not do a good job throughout your interview and onboarding process. We'd like to make sure extremely straightforward to ensure there is no confusion for future interviewees and team members. We do residential sales on behalf of a leading energy client and are extremely proud of the work we do for them. We are the #1 source of new customer acquisitions for our current client and stand no benefit from misleading potential new hires as hiring and turnover are expensive. If you have any outstanding concerns, we welcome you to email them to hr@bostondirectinc.com. Thank you! Sincerely, Management
