Pros

A fun office. That is all.

Cons

So many to list. Long hours 6 days a week, a crappy pay, no set guidelines of the job...literally a pyramid scheme. BEWARE THE FALSE REVIEWS, SEEKING EMPLOYEES

The Invictus Group Response

Although we are happy that you feel the office environment and culture is fun we are very sorry to hear that you had a negative overall experience. We would like to clarify a few things: 1. The marketing and sales that we do for our current client requires a 5 day work week not a 6 day work week. Although a 6 day work week is not all that uncommon and many professions work 6 days a week, ours is not one of them. 2. We do offer multiple pay options for our employees and we cover that on our very first day of orientation and training. Our employees have the flexibility of going with a base plus commission option or going the commission route as well. 3 We do have set guidelines of every position within the company and a detailed daily training structure as well. 4. Our interns are encouraged to let us know how they feel about their short experience with our company, whether it be good or bad, therefore that feedback is true and legit. We realize that we aren't perfect and the only way that we can grow and get better as a company is with feedback. We definitely would have covered any of these concerns in person if you felt a certain way. We would love to talk through this with you, and we encourage you to email us to set up a time to meet in person.

Pros

Literally everyone in the office is awesome including the boss, who is very approachable, unlike most bosses, and always willing to help. The environment is upbeat and the training provided is very thorough. Employees have the potential to learn a lot not just about sales but also can get a good grasp on how a business is run (interviewing, training other people, etc). The boss always has a great attitude and even after a bad day, coming back to the office with the co-workers definitely can bring your spirits back up. Every thursdays there's office nights at a different local place and they're always a lot of fun. There's also pretty cool bonuses and incentives such as office contests and whatnot. Great teamwork environment.

Cons

This can be good or bad, but it's 100% commission. (there is a base+ option but that only benefits if you hit 3 sales that week. If you make 2 or less, or 4 or more, you'll benefit from the 100% option.) You pay for your own gas (unless you hit numbers that 90% of people usually don't hit), and you work about 56 hour weeks (m-s). Advancing to assistant management is definitely an up and down road, as in my experience I've seen people be very close to it one week and the next week have to rebuild their teams. You definitely need to be able to take a hit and get back up multiple times- which is similar to any business but this also involves depending on other people and that they'll stick with you as opposed to your own personal drive.
