Pros

No good things to say about them.

Cons

I was here for less than a week and here's what I experienced: 1. HR and Managers lied the whole time I was employed. They told me I would be earning a BASE SALARY PLUS COMMISSION, BUT IT WAS 100% COMMISSION THE WHOLE TIME. 2. Online training from client business, and the training from Affluence management were completely different. 3. Shady employees and business practices from upper management. 4. Driving far distances on my own dime, with no chance of reimbursement on gas. 5. Made quite a few sales totaling over $200 and I'll never see that money in my life. 6. Everything is wrong with this business model and company, I do not recommend working here!

Pros

I suppose if you want in-person sales experience in a difficult environment, this would be a place for you

Cons

I, among at least 8 other employees during my short time there, were given titles or were otherwise implied to be working completely different jobs - Events Manager, Event Planning Coordinator, Marketing Manager, Public Relations Trainee, Marketing Assistant, Marketing Trainee - than the one which we ended up working. The company uses predatory language to hire new grads and (horrendously worse, in my opinion) new immigrants looking for jobs. On top of the fact that we were lured into what amounted to mall sales positions despite being guaranteed completely different management position work, we were also guaranteed a static location. However we ended up driving to locations as far away from Burnaby as Chilliwack to sell credit cards at department stores. While it may not hold up in court, as the language is ambiguously worded, this company knows what it is doing and I would advise anyone who has been contacted to stay away entirely unless you know what you are signing up for - in store third party sales of products to people that don't want them. The cherry on the cake? The sales tactics they encourage you to use/teach you are highly predatory too.
