Capitol City Group Reviews

This is a pyramid scheme with suits. They have an insentive to hire anyone who is moderately personable because they directly (personally) profit from your efforts. The whole "go from entry to manager in 8-10 months" thing is sketchy to begin with. The business model is to pump as many people through the "program" because it's all about sales volume, which there is nothing inherently wrong with. What is wrong, and what they don't tell you is that everytime they move someone up and expand the market the person above you makes more money and therefor you are incentivize to do the same. And I'm sure many people don't have a problem with this type of business model but it is falsely advertised as a legitimate marketing company whose model is akin to selling knifes door to door. You get no actual marketing experience and it is a total waste of time for people who spent 4 years in college to get thier degree. On that note, one last thing to prove my point, this was advertised as a job that requires a 4 year degree, by my 3rd (and final) day I had learned that not only did an astonishing amount of employees not even have so much as a 2-year degree but no less than 4 people I worked alongside readily admitted to past felony drug offenses. I quit when I was scolded for not harassing a single mom with a crying baby to buy DirectTV as she walked by.

It's your basic pyramid scheme. You go to the office for sales role play and pep talk. They interview people almost daily because most people end up quitting. It depends on which campaign you are on. I was on the home depot one. Once you are given your assigned store, you go there and talk to all the customers and try to get them to make an appointment with a designer who will come out and give an estimate. The customer has to specifically want their cabinets refaced. They want you to ideally get 5 a day. You work from 11 to 7. You get an hourly wage but won't start getting paychecks until 3 weeks in. Apparently if your leads come through you can earn more money per week but it isn't much. You have no benefits and are not compensated for driving. The "trainers" don't have much experience. They can be petty and rude. Especially once you start to realize what kind of "business" it really is and start asking questions. Honestly the management is poor. It's a very unorganized work environment. It could be better. Very private info is kept in the open and there is no electronic time keeping system. The only people who actually make money are the directors. The directors are there even on weekends and I really think the trainers are the main problem.
