Event coordinator - Event Coordinator Peridot Promotions Employee Review

I was able to learn so much about business/marketing that I didn't learn while majoring in marketing in college. The option to travel if you want was the most rewarding part, I was even able to travel to different leadership conferences and enjoy a boat cruise after promotion. I am so grateful to have joined this company out of college and constantly am being asked how I lucked out. I would recommend this company to anyone who is serious about perusing their goals and excited to have a solid career.

There are a lot of people who think they are right for the job but just aren't, they aren't committed to learning and take advantage of the opportunities so there is some negativity when the wrong person joins the office. Luckily that happens often because the interviewing process weeds out a lot of people not fit for business management.

Everyone is EXTREMELY welcoming, helpful, and nice! The interview process really gives you a decent look at the ENTRY LEVEL position. (Don't let all the different fancy job titles fool you....everyone starts at the bottom, doing the exact same job.)

Pretty much everything is a negative. It's a $7.50/hour unless your commission pay is high enough, but the commission percentages are only beneficial for the manager and top leaders. They expect a ton of extra work (conference calls, shift break downs, etc.) off the clock and during "non-business" hours. I'm sorry but calling me at 9:00pm is not professional. It sounds great in theory, but when you really look into and read all the fine print, it's nothing like how they make it sound. They pride themselves on not being "salespeople" and how they are promoters so it doesn't matter if they customers buy or not...but in reality, if the customers don't buy, you will starve to death. Not to mention the pitches are very pushy and somewhat unethical. It has just been a very poor experience for me. I'm sure some people will love it. Just make sure you really go over the details before getting started so you aren't taken off guard like I was.
