Pros

I honestly have nothing positive to say about this organization. This was a very negative experience in my life.

Cons

This position is considered to be "direct marketing", it is like how IKEA is set up that you have to go through the entire store to appeal to your sense of greed to purchase more because there are so many options. This is not a marketing role, it is a sales position where you are at Costco or Fred Meyer making announcments over the PA system trying to sound excited and sells whisks (that do break all the time) pillows, and skin products. Those people at the mall that chase you down or make you feel awkward watching you look at their kiosks, this is worse because you literally have to set up and take down your "booth" by yourself and leave the remnants in your car for days at a time or unload all of it into the storage facility. The DAILY MORNING meetings make you feel like you are being brainwashed into some sort of cult and everyone is just nodding and attempting to please the charismatic leader. Minimum wage is an understatement. You either make commission or you make the bare minimum (definitely not 40 hours a week). The schedule is given to you the week of and is scrambled and will have you driving to Vancouver or Hillsboro and anywhere in between.

Pros

This is a great job to have if you are trying to learn how to run a successful business. Effectus Enterprises shows you the ins and outs on being apart of an event and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't learning anything that would benefit me in the business world. Not to mention, the employees are all supportive and fun to work with, the paycheck is quite nice as well depending on how well you do.

Cons

Though traveling can be a real fun experience, at times it can weigh on your pockets although your compensated for it on the next check.

Pros

Everyone seems like they enjoy coming to the office in the morning. It's a really upbeat and positive. Everyone is friendly and willing to invest their time to help me with anything I need. Even the manager takes time to get to know me and make sure I am able to get my work done and my goals met. Unlike other jobs that I had worked before, I can actually see where I want to be in the next few months and years, and how to get there. I learned a lot about marketing, leadership, and ownership. The opportunity is like no other!

Cons

We don't spend very much time in the office in the morning, it would be nice to spend more time with everyone. Anyone thinks they can get by with minimal effort, will not do well. Your hard work will be noticed immediately and recognized by everyone. Those that skimp out and rely on the effort on someone else should not work here. Even when I had some bad days I still received help. There is no sugar coating when it comes to reviews and evaluations of the team. I preferred it, but I know other people don't enjoy to direct feedback.
