Questionable - Anonymous employee THG Sports Employee Review

they are very good in all, very good

nothing to say, all good

I loved the people I worked with. If you're a sports fan, you will find this job more enjoyable than those who are not. However it is not necessary to be a sport fanatic to do this job. If you are really persistent and are able to stay positive during tough times then you will succeed. You also have to be able to talk to people easily. The training here is excellent, but the job is very tough. If you are good at sales, you will enjoy the uncapped commission structure. The training is also continuous; there are several training meetings each week to help you develop as a sales executive.

The yearly salary for a sales executive (which everyone has to start off as) is below minimum wage. They do offer uncapped commission but you have to be very good at sales to even make a sale. What they don't tell you is that sales are usually few and far between, unless you're a manager who can make business about once a month. The packages you sell are usually priced very high, so it's good commission wise, but can be harder to sell. The job can also be very mundane. If you need variety in your job responsibilites, this job isn't for you. You basically are making calls all day with a maximum of 2 hours of research each day. There is a very high turnover rate because people don't anticipate how hard this job is. I can't tell you how many people have quit before their first month while I was working there.
