Ugh.

Pros

Honestly nothing. This company honestly is a complete scam. They say they are all about management and making a ton of money and being your own boss but you are a door to door salesman! Goodness! I mean the people are fairly nice I guess?

Cons

The CEO continues to respond to these reviews with the same response to negative reviews assuming it is the same person. Maybe it's just multiple angry former employees who were not going to deal with the scam that is this company. I didn't buy the scam and neither should anyone else. I would rather work at a McDonalds than be a door to door salesman at this sleezeball job.

We're sorry to hear that your experience with us was not good, in your opinion. Just because we weren't the best fit for you, however, doesn't mean that our successful sales programs & Management Training Program aren't a good fit for others. Not everyone is cut out for this career path, & we are completely aware of that. Our team, on average, makes $600-1000 per week at the Account Manager level, and earns more once promoted to Assistant Manager & Manager, but we understand that if you would rather work somewhere else, that is your choice. Regarding your "Advice to Management", this section of the Glassdoor Reviews is FOR current & former employees. We do not ask anyone to write anything, they take the initiative to share their honest, positive experiences about our company. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. I'd be more than happy to address them. -CL

Entry

Pros

Team makes you believe you are important because they know they will not be paying employees what they promised.

Cons

Regardless of the sale that someone makes or not, entry level position was stated online and in interviews that it was a PAID position(base pay) without commission. Shortly after working there, they kept making excuses of why we wouldn't get paid till "next week". Previously I read a review from the boss saying working more than 40+ hours a week was a choice. That made me LOL. They EXPECT you to work at LEAST 50 hours a week. Not included in on team nights and weekends. I would not recommend unless you are able to have someone help you financially so you can work your butt off to hopefully ONE DAY make it to the top.

We're honestly sorry to hear that you did not have a favorable experience at Cardinal Business Concepts. We're only aware of one person who's ever left our company unhappy, due to issues that were out of our control. We've made extremely strong relationships with our entire team, and anyone who has ever left our company (very few people have left) has had an exit review letting us know their honest opinions of the company & how we can continue to improve. In regard to some of your comments, we're honestly offended that we are being accused of lying to our team & not thinking they're important; Our team is our TOP priority & our integrity, & the integrity of our team & clients is priority as well. In ALL of our job ads ever listed online, it is clearly stated that "pay is based on individual performance", and that "bonus & commissions" are offered. We do NOT guarantee a certain amount of money on someone's paycheck each week since it is "based on individual performance", and that is clearly stated in job ads, during all interviews, & on the new hire paperwork that each of our employees sign on their first day. We're sorry to hear that you were confused by any of this, but we do make it a point to be extremely clear about everything because not only do we not want our time wasted on someone that's not right for our company, but we do not want to waste anyone else's time either. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to call me directly to further discuss. We wish you all the best. - Cale Lester

Pros

- As far as entry level goes, there's not much better experience than this in being involved with several different aspects of business (finances, marketing, sales, management...) - You'll never tell your friends your working with a bunch of 40 year old employees living vicariously through you as the job is full of very young and eager to succeed individuals - Helps you structure your life with easy to reach goals and uncover what you truly want to work for - Puts you in the driver seat of your own success

Cons

- Be ready to work from day one; the training is helpful, but you wind up learning on the fly more successfully - Not for the unorganized and go with the flow mentality, this job is very systematic and structured - Get used to being put on the spot and speaking to clientele
