Pros

There were two or three people there that I truly enjoyed and appreciated for doing a great job, being supportive/insightful, and being all around wholesome individuals.

Cons

I don't know where to start.... -You don't know what days you have off until sunday night each week (never have weekends off, just two random weekdays) which makes it impossible to make plans -They lure you in with promises of becoming a "marketing manager" when it is really more of a puppy mill for sales representatives that do nothing but sit in a Sam's Club or Walmart all day -The management often loses sight of what constitutes "constructive criticism" and resorts to simple insults and criticisms to try and "inspire" you. -They bait and switch the amount of money you will be getting paid. While I was told during interviews that I would be making around 55k doing a normal job and up to 75k doing well, in reality I was doing great but making only about 30k and none of my coworkers were surpassing much above 40-45k -The entire company feels deceitful, even when I was looking at their website I never was able to figure out exactly what it was that they did (because they hide it and situationally trap you once you've assimilated into the company). Seriously, look up their website... they advertise customer retention, marketing consulting, and brand management as three of their major services but all anybody in the company does is sit in a Sam's Club for 10 hours pitching people about DirecTV. Complete smoke and mirrors. -Because your always in a Sam's club all day and only spend about an hour in the office each morning, there is little to no sense of community at the job. On top of that, since your at Sam's Club everyday, which is usually located in a zoning area populated with large retailers or fast food, your main option for lunch each day is Sam's Club pizza.

Thank you for the insight and we definitely apologize that you weren't able to make the income that you desired! The starting salary is dependent on an individual's background and skill set. We pride ourselves on having a team environment and we aspire to be involved personally with each of our employees. We feel part of the reason for our massive growth at Metroplex Management Group is due to our Company Culture and Team Environment. We look for individuals we can cross-train into Management (The salary in that position is minimum 75k) and apologize that you did not have a full understanding of what our intentions are. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you might have and we will do our best to make it right! respectfully, MMG management staff

Pros

There are so many. They were so accommodating when I had a doctors appointment. The environment that they foster makes everyone feel like family. I never had a question that couldn’t be answered. All around 10/10!

Cons

I really do not have any. I had to leave because I moved.

Pros

I love the people I work with they all are great, it is a great family base business a home away from home and they really care about you. A great place to grow in advance. The main thing I love about the company its not do this for five years before you move up its all on the way you go out there in perform, if you treat it like a job it will pay you like a job. It have taught me entrepreneurial skills and really have me thinking like a business owner. Now if you are just looking for something so you can say I have a job and I can pay my bills then this is not the place for you, but if your looking to grow and really advanced your professional career and willing to put in the work for it then this is all you want here.

Cons

We get paid for driving to a retail store without any traffic because we have a great work schedule we don't have to be there until noon so the 8 o'clock morning traffic is over by then and leave retail store 8pm so the 5 o'clock bomb rush is over as well. So if you like sitting in traffic on your way to work then that gone to be a deal breaker to you. We work long weeks but I feel like you have to do the thing that others wont do now to be successful later and other wont.
