Beautiful branding and quick response to potential employees. The receptionist is very nice.
Cons
This company uses cat fishing techniques to get new employees. They claimed they were hiring for work in Davis (20-30 minutes from me) and it turned out that they were hiring an hour and a half away from me in Vallejo, Suisin city and Fairfield. This was not stated in the job qualifications or in the phone call I had with the receptionist prior to the interview. Needless to say $26 of gas later I arrived to find they are actually hiring people to work at Costco to sell DIRECTV. This is not the job advertised. That is not marketing that is direct sales.

We apologize that you didn't have a great experience with us. The ad you applied to actually explains in depth what we do;
This position involves responsibilities in:
Entry - Level Management
Human Resources
Customer Service
Face to Face Presentations
You also self-booked for an interview with us. In that self booking confirmation email we have links for our website, online reviews, instagram, and facebook, and our home base address. All of those facets are ways we show very openly what it is that we do. Our administrator actually reached out to you to make sure didn't have any questions the day before the interview and the only question you asked was if our home base was in Suisun. You then proceeded to call our administrator and angrily demand compensation for gas for an interview you didn't stay for. Self-booking is meant to make life easier for an applicant but unfortunately it takes out a lot of the interaction an applicant normally does online or with the HR team in researching the position since its so easy to just click and schedule. We do apologize for any inconvenience caused on our part though and really do wish you the best of luck!
They will focus there time into the people they want to promote and give you the false sense that you as well will be promoted even if they have zero intentions on promoting you.

We are sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience with us. Our program is purely performance based and all the qualifications to move forward are given to every new hire from day one, they determine the rate they move forward. Not everyone works well in that environment which is why we do our best to be very upfront with that process from day one in the interview process and the ads we post as well. Nonetheless, we wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors!
ERA is an up and coming company with ambitious goals and the skills to back their vision. The CEO is very competent, confident and straightforward. Every interview was professionally conducted. Responses were simple and thorough. Accessibility was a plus! The Corporate Trainers and Leaders are more than willing to highlight positives and share best practices: the environment is set up for everyone — with or without sales-marketing experience — to succeed! I find myself most attracted to the self-paced opportunity to cross train and grow with this company into a well-earned position of Leadership-Ownership.
Cons
I drive 3 hours to work, round trip, because I am living in the Yuba-Sutter area and the main office is based in Suisun. Outside the office we work 5-8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week in Vallejo, Fairfield, and Vacaville. I fill the reimbursed travel time with audiobooks and inspiring lectures.
