Compensation - Anonymous employee Frontline Marketing Employee Review

Freedom to work at your own pace

Commission only base, no base pay

commission only with no ceiling. you learn good sales techniques. they support you and give you recognition when you do well. probably because you get 28 percent commission and they are making 22 percent of your sales while the other 50 is going towards the price of the product.

they don't tell you what the job is going to be until the second interview when you go out with a manager and drive all around sacramento walking into businesses trying to sell office supplies at a "cheaper price" commission is 10% the first week, 15% the second week and 28% the third week. they give you 500 dollars base pay for the first two weeks but you only get it if you stay 5 weeks. they make you go into a meeting in the beginning of the day and then at the end of the day so you are out working from 8-7, they make you travel to the office in the am for the meeting, then travel far for your territory, then go back to the office at the end of the day. lots of gas money. the office supplies are a tough sale because you have to find a business that has never tried "quill" before and a lot of places have tried and not been satisfied.
