Big Promises, Little Reward - Anonymous employee AMI Marketing Employee Review

No benefits- despite what you are told No base pay- 100% commission No gas or cell phone compensation even though business trips are required No residual commissions from your sales- only paid on initial sale Unorganized boss- scattered ideas, plans, and broken promises Unprofessional boss- this is where the breaking point begins. You never know what to expect. Promises of bonuses and advancement are made, but are rarely, if ever followed through. High turn over - despite the growth opportunity this is a huge problem because promises are never kept, which leads to frustration in hard-working employees. Eventually it just isn't worth it anymore. No paid sick leave- despite not offering benefits you can only take sick leave if you bring in a drs note. No paid vacation- an average is based on competition of sales before the holiday, not actual averages of overall performance. So, if you have a bad week you are out of luck. Career in the hands of one person (the boss)- they say this position is merit and performance based, but unfortunately that is not the case. It is a game of the boss' favorite and while low performers are never the favorite just because you are performing doesn't mean you are set up to succeed either. Recruiting to get yourself promoted is a game of who is the favorite. Just because you get handed several interviews doesn't mean they are qualified people to build your team with. Everyone gets roped into the ideals of this company, but the longer you work there the more you realize the scales are tipped and they aren't always in your favor
