Marketing Assistant - Anonymous employee We Add Value Everywhere Employee Review

No pros whatsoever, this is a scam and surely has to be illegal.

A HUGE SCAM! They lied to me about absolutely everything to do with the job: the salary, the hours and the actual job role. I applied for a Junior Marketing Assistant role...this got changed to """Account Executive"""...then got changed to a door-to-door sales role...which then got changed to telesales. I got told I would be making £300 a week plus commission, with the weekly salary increasing with the "extemely quick progression" (another lie!). This was not true, the job is in fact purely based on commission, so you don't get paid unless you sell. Showing up on my first day, me and about 50 other newbies got taken to a large room where they played music and cheered for each other...very cult-like. They then had me waiting around for 8 hours on my first day waiting to begin the job, before telling me to leave because they weren't ready for me. I quit the next day by sending a text as this was the only form of communication I had with the company. They didn't even respond. The biggest scam going. This business suite is located in Angel (23-26 St Alban's Place) and was previously occupied by Project Zinc and Altitude Acquisitions and now WAVE, and they're all the same scam.AVOID THIS SCAM. All they want is to manipulate students.

There will of course be pros to this company, however I am unsure of them as i backed out of the position during the training.

the position of Marketing Assistant was advertised on LinkedIn to which I applied and went through several zoom interviews before being offered the role. I soon discovered during my zoom training with several other successful people that the position I had been offered was drastically different to that that was advertised on linkedIn and what the interviews gave the impression of. Rather than marketing assistant, it was more of a residential sales position, which was never mentioned. Overall, those who interviewed me were friendly but were incredibly vague on what the position involved and communication ingeneral was lacking. As training continued, more and more people were backing out it appeared, including myself.
