SCAM, DOOR TO DOOR SELLING, LIARS!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

I cant think of one reason people would want to work with fake liars

Cons

It's door to door selling and they try and make out that it's something its not. Even down to the recruiting they put up false advertisements and train their recruiters (even giving them a script) to con people into getting them to come into the office and sell them a dream. Its 100% commission based with no fixed pay AND you have to pay for your travel all day. You go out all day and try to sell things like credit cards and charity stuff. It wouldn't be such a bad place if they were honest and not scamming people and were open about being a door to door selling company

Pros

Listen if your reading this believe me these lot are a bunch of liars. The reviews here were written by the company, don't fool yourself. Avoid and look elsewhere, much better than this 100% commission, no job security "management" role.

Cons

Not door to door sales but you stand at a charity stand which is a "event" LOL. I'm still laughing at how badly they lie. I beg you lot stay away from them.

Brutal, cut throat, manipulative

Pros

Being around so many people that just like you are desperate to be successful which I'm of itself gets you swept up in it. If only I'd snapped out of it snooner.

Cons

That being said the entire role and culture feeds off the ambitions of young people for managements gain. Yes there are opportunities to climb, but only through what is essentially a pyramid scheme where you sell in he street and teach others to do so. They advertise it as a marketing job not to scare people off.
