Pros

No pros really, except the $10/hour. I thought I was getting this great opportunity to work at promoting brands/events because that is what the job posting described, but as it turns out the ad lied. The title and job did not exist at CCG. It ended up being a scam to get people in the door to be client representatives, which are basically those annoying people who approach you in Best buy or Home Depot and try to pitch you a promotion. If you're not a sales person this job isn't for you. They misrepresent job offerings, everyone starts as a "client representative." Starting pay is $10 an hour plus commission, but good luck making that commission when the potential customers want little or nothing to do with you. They just want to shop and be left alone. The only pro is that everyone is really nice. Some come off as fake nice, while others seem genuinely nice. Fun atmosphere, but not enough to keep me around.

Cons

As I said above. Nothing good about this job, unless you're desperate for the hourly wage. By the way, don't fall for the "we get weekends off" bit. If your team doesn't make goal all of you will work on Saturday. Also, advancement isn't like they say it is. They claim you can get promoted to Director of Operations in as little as 8 months. Most of the them were still in the store after several months. They are really good at feeding candidates lies.

Pros

It was a learning experience. I learned to recognize and stay away from this type of "job."

Cons

This "company" is a scam. You are told that you will be involved in business management or marketing but it's a lie. You will be hired to stand all day in a big box store (home depot, best buy, etc.) to push a product on people who don't want anything to do with it or you. You will be expected to achieve unreal sales goals, and you will be "pumped up" in meetings and told that you will make good commission, but then you will go to the sales floor only to realize that no "customers" want anything to do with you. You will drive a lot, work 6 days a week, and you will be compensated very poorly. The turnover in this company is very high. The job is talked up by interviewers and current employees to snag new, unsuspecting job-seekers. Once people are hired and realize that it's all a sales scam and they barely get minimum wage for 50+ hours a week, they run for the hills. If you think you are good at sales and want a sales job, I still advise you to look for something more legitimate.
