Pros

AMS features an incredible staff, you really feel like you are a part of a team. Everyone motivates and brings each other up. Upper managements goal is to develop you to reach their level so that you can open up your own office to.

Cons

Door to door sales, for strictly commission sales. The interview is a little misleading because you are lead to believe that you will be making over 1,000 a week which is very possible. They failed to mention it was for 100% commission until you are already hiring. Also 2 weeks of unpaid training.

First, thank you for your kind words about our team! We strive to create a very comfortable, fun yet professional, work environment, which focuses on our employee’s development, so it is great to hear that we are doing so. In regards to feeling misled, I am truly sorry for that. We have a 3 step hiring process to avoid this from happening as much as possible. The preliminary, and 1st interview, is strictly to gauge first impressions and is a part of the screening process due to having a high level of applicants for the entry level position. If invited back for the 2nd round of interviews, we actually give candidates a chance to spend A FULL DAY on the job with one of our representatives so they can see, first hand, with no grey area, EXACTLY what a normal day would be like. To clarify- this isn’t door to door sales; we do business to business sales and marketing. Compensation packages are offered based on a few factors, including background, experience level and how a candidate performs during the interview process. Because of this, there would not be a flat rate offered up front to any particular candidate, until the final interview with Management. Much like most sales and marketing positions, at least a portion of the position will be paid on performance through bonuses and commissions, (For the right candidates this is very motivating) and there is NO CAP on the income potential. New hires can start earning money from Day 1 on the job, it seems like there might have been confusion about the fact that employees’ do not receive their first PAYCHECK until 2 weeks after starting (like most positions). I hope this clarifies a few things but again the last thing we want to do is to mislead anyone, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call us directly at 401-751-2000.

Pros

With Advanced Marketing Solutions you have the opportunity to grow to potentials you would never picture yourself growing to so quickly. My business partners are people that are always there whenever in need and are always willing to take the extra time to help you grow. When I started off at this business I wasn't sure what direction I was going to be heading in life but everyone here at Advanced Marketing Solutions has helped create and outline a path and set goals that I can follow in life. One of my favorite things at Advanced Marketing Solutions is the team and energetic atmosphere. This isn't your typical 9-5 sitting in a cube or at a desk all day. In the office everyone is upbeat and enjoys being at work because we appreciate the time we have with each other. Everyday is a learning experience and I can honestly say I have learned more about the way others operate and about myself since I started working here two and a half months ago than I have learned in any other two and a half months of my life.

Cons

There are not many cons that come with this company. The only one that I can really think of has to do with me personally. It is sometimes a struggle to focus on school and work because they both mean a lot to me. But, everyone at the company understands that I have other commitments and helps guide me in times of need.
