Pros

Great learning experience! Awesome team! Perfect if you want to learn the base of sales. If you are looking for a job that you can grow in and be comfortable, forget about it. You will work hard. However, there are many other jobs where you can grow, make good money and have a work life balance.

Cons

The original job post is kind of deceiving. I originally thought the job would be more aligned with digital marketing and PR. However, this is a straight sales position. There is no base pay and you are paid once your client has made their payment. They pitch that hours are flexible but they expect you to work every day from 8 am to 8 pm. Most of the team came from New York so they do not have cars. If you drive, you are often stuck as the carpool driver. They do not provide health insurance.

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback, we are very happy to hear how the training you had was a great learning experience, our firm's core values are built on teaching and training individuals who are excited to learn and develop themselves within the direct marketing industry and as a business person. Our client is excelling within its industry, they are recognized worldwide and we are honoured to help them share their message with their customers.

Pros

Great people to work with.

Cons

Not upfront about the details of the position. I was told during my interview process to rebrand a product. Later I found out the company represents Comcast X-Finity and our job is toadd or subtract services, and switch customers. Nothing to do with branding. Also I found out (from a coworker) that there is no health or dental or 401k. I also was told it takes three weeks for the background check to get processed so you don't get a paycheck until then. Additionally, the services I obtained were out under the name of the person who's tablet I was using.I also found no information on theBetter Business Bureau's website so they're not registered. Finally, while in a workshop with a coworker I was told never to show the customer the price. I was also told not to tell customers I work for Critical Mass.

Thanks for your review, when our representatives have questions about the systems in place within our firm, we encourage them to direct the questions to management or HR as our representatives may get things wrong from time to time. We want our team to have the best opportunity possible and would not want their position to be jeopardized because of false information being given to them. Regardless, having worked with us in the past we hope you have formed successful friendships and have taken away valuable skills. Regards

Pros

I am learning the ins and outs of communication psychology, and how to apply them in growing my own business! We earn while assisting people in adding value to their lives! We have the ability to work any day of the week and learn while we earn!

Cons

Background checks take about a week to come back in!
