Pros

Can’t find one single pro

Cons

Just wanted to let everyone know this company is ridiculous. If you read the responses the “company owner” leaves on other people’s reviews, it sounds like they’re desperately trying to save the company’s rear-end because former employees keep exposing the truth about the pyramid scheme that’s going on here. Half of these reviews are 5 stars, with no “cons” because those are the reviews written by employees who are instructed to write them. The REAL reviews are all one star, listing the actual problems with the company that it’s trying to cover up. If the reviews here were authentic, the company would have such a low average rating that they wouldn’t be able to scam desperate job-seekers into their sticky fingers... so they have to keep up appearances. This is one of those companies that has like 20 employees who think that the company runs the world & “oh my gosh we’re partnered with Verizon”. It’s door-to-door sales. Verizon probably doesn’t give !!!! about if your precious Avante Partners corporation even works for them at all. Avante Partners may work with Verizon, but so does every other small “private marketing” firm in the country. No one is happy at this company, they just need a job. Get real. And don’t even write back to me saying that I’m confused or that I must’ve misunderstood or that your company has all its morals straight and is doing exactly what they say they are. Sit down.

First off, I just want to say that I don't think you are confused or misunderstood. We respect everyone's individual opinion and encourage people to share their experience at the company whether its good or bad. Although, we believe that the company is a great place to work and I'm sure that there is something positive you took away from working here. I wish you would have come talk to me in person to discuss your frustrations rather than write an anonymous review, so that we could have had a professional open conversation. However, I will address a few of your points for anyone who reads this review. 1. We are not trying to save anything or prevent any "truth" from being exposed. We are a legitimate corporation in the state of NJ that is structured like every other for profit business, and work with some of the most reputable brands in the world. All of our employees are W2, and are offered commission plus bonuses, or salary plus commission. We also offer benefits after 120 days of working at the company and up to 5 days of paid sick leave. No one pays any type of fee to work here and we do not require anyone to recruit anyone. I have copied the definition of what a pyramid scheme is below which is clearly not us. "a form of investment (illegal in the US and elsewhere) in which each paying participant recruits two further participants, with returns being given to early participants using money contributed by later ones." 2. Every positive review is just as authentic and real as the one you wrote. I encourage people to write reviews and share their experience as every business owner does. I have never told people what to write or made anyone write anything. There is nothing we are trying to hide or need to cover up. The only part I dislike about these reviews, is that people like yourself can right anonymous reviews and say anything you want with zero consequences regardless of the validity to it. 3. It appears our values are not the same. We don't think we "run the world," nor are we trying to. We are a company that is working alongside reputable companies creating a win-win relationship, and enjoy having fun in the process. We want to help our clients and everyone we hire grow and accomplish their goals. I highly doubt that our well known clients would risk their brand name in partnering with a company like ours if it wasn't legitimate. I know we have a positive work environment where people are happy and excited about growing with the company, but if anyone questions the happiness of our employees they can come interview any of our employees and judge for themselves. I am not sure way you are so unhappy with myself or the company. Although we are not perfect, it is crazy to me that you didn't take anything positive away from working here even if it wasn't a good match for you. Please feel free to reach out to me by phone or email if you would like to discuss anything further at 908-301-4714 or wlynam@avantepartnersinc.com. I would be happy to sit down and discuss anything further with you. I wish you nothing but the best.

Pros

Everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Cons

Did not explain the job correctly. This is a door to door sales job and commission based only.

Dear Anonymous, we can't thank you enough for the friendly and welcoming compliment! It's always gratifying to hear that your team gives off a positive impression. I'd always like to address your cons - in which you mention that the job was not explained correctly. Not sure where a disconnect happened or how you might have missed what the job was, but in our job description, and in our 3 step in-person interviews we go over the job description in it's entirety. In fact even after someone is hired they sign new hire paperwork that outlines the commission structure in great detail. So if you may have missed those things you signed or what we discussed in person before offering you the position - just curious why you would have stuck with the job if you see commission as a negative? We do hope you find something that is more suited to your needs in all your future endeavors and are disappointed that you felt you couldn't speak with us about your concerns in person. We do not offer commission only just a heads up - so if commission is something that intimidates you - we could have most certainly worked something out with an hourly plus commission option (it's not common mostly because our team chooses commission only as they make more money that way and is uncapped.). Please, if you could, contact us and show us where we went wrong in incorrectly describing the job description that you applied for and accepted - we want to know how we can improve so that we can avoid reviews like this in the future. We are sorry and wish you all the luck in everything you do for your future!

Pros

The brainwashed people you work with are cool. I pray for them.

Cons

Don't fall for his Cidcor scam of a job. It's been about a year since I left this job and I'm damn happy to be as far away from these people as possible. Honestly, they're all NICE! Like, they deserve better. The boss dropped out of medical school to do this - the other boss attended a really great university himself - and I am astonished as to how they both got so dragged into this. The entire "business model" is about working your way up the ladder so you one day own your own branch. The company - the head honcho - which is known as CIDCOR - actually is just brainwashing these people into selling things like verizon FiOS, or comcast, or whatever bullcrap conglomerate that you cannot possibly believe is going to change the world or be worth your career. So these highly educated men/women/people get sucked into this system and think that they are going to "OWN THEIR OWN BUSINESS" ----- this is literally the funniest part. Like they work day and night, AND WEEKENDS (you will have to work on Saturdays if you chose to take this job, because screw you is how they feel) and then they get their own "branch" which is usually shared with another idiot "owner" because they cannot afford their own office and GET THIS FUNNIEST PART ---- USUALLY the owners live together in the same rental place because as "business owners" they're not making enough money to afford their own rent on a 1 bedroom. OMG DID I MENTION THAT IT IS 100% COMMISSION BASED?!?!?!?

Sorry to hear you feel that way. The one issue I have with this site is that anyone can write a review and say whatever they want, true or not true, without any real consequences. I would be happy to discuss and listen to any constructive or real feedback you have on how we can make our company better. You can email me directly at wlynam@avantepartnersinc.com or give me a call at 908-301-4714. Here at Avante Partners, our business is about helping our clients grow their brand with professionalism and integrity. Most importantly, we want to help our people grow and succeed in every way, personally and professionally. We work with well named brands and doubt that we would be growing and they would be working with us if we were a "scam." Our employees enjoy working here too...anyone can come in and is free to ask them or see for yourself. We don't make people work on a Saturday if they don't want to and are in good standing. As a matter of fact, they work a half day usually and are mostly following up with appointments and/or people that want them to go back. The best part of this review...I highly doubt that my family would want to be sharing an apartment or house with other people ;) We wish you nothing but the best though and good luck with your career moving forward. We also do offer a BASE + COMMISSION and I would be happy to go over it with anyone who is considering working with us and reads this review.
