Pros

Company is fairly professional and has an office and is good for people who are willing to do anything

Cons

It claims it's a marketing company when they actually just do face to face to selling on the streets. And it's part of a network of other companies who provide the same service where anyone after a year can setup their own off shoot company, so it's a bit pyramidy. Also they don't offer a wage and expect you to live off your commission so no ethics there. There's also a wannabepreneur culture where people are obsessed with thinking they're going to be powerful and wealthy, when in reality it's just a tactic to make everyone who works for them stick with them under false pretences. There's a reason why their website is so generic and hard to work out what service they actually provide. Do yourself a favour you deserve better for yourself!

Hello, We are sorry to hear your negative experience with the company. We take your comments about the nature of our firm very seriously, we in no way operate as a "pyramid scheme" as you suggest. To advertise our job on jobsites we are restricted with the wording we use and, consequently, have to set a salary claiming OTE. We believe that if you are good at selling then our commission based structure works to maximise an individual's profits in our firm. As freelance contractors, we believe our company provides individuals with the opportunity to be trained in sales and entrepreneurial skills while also making money. Our entrepreneurial focus is in no way designed to create false pretences but instead inspire new recruits on the opportunity this job is giving them. We wish you the best moving forward.

Pros

Good pay for the work. Most Coworkers are good people. Internal promotions

Cons

Supervisors promoted from within but don’t necessarily have managerial skill or training. Supervisors use 1950 antagonistic tactics. Fear is a short term solution Way too many family members working there ( hate to see how many people would have to take off for a family funeral). Family members include children, aunts, uncles, niece, nephews, spouses, and who know how deep it goes. HR members promoted from within which again doesnt mean they have HR training or skills (more likely to be friends with other employees). WAY Too much favoritism. Plus- Dangerous working conditions including poor lighting, unsafe stairs, dirty work shields covering saws, etc.
