Greater Boston Events

Is this your company?

A company that claims they are a wonderful marketing company but in reality they are just generic sales. - Sales Greater Boston Events Employee Review

Pros

You can get a job with them rather quickly. No experience is necessary but there's a reason for that.

Cons

Okay, so I feel I need to intervene here. This is a company that will hire anyone to a work a job that is something not many people would want to do despite how many reviews posted here say it is. After you are hired, you have to train the next person and so on and so forth. Anyways the job is working on a sales floor selling cable in stores like Wal-Mart as one reviewer already said. If you think that is a job that sounds like it has endless opportunities, be my guest. You work long hours on a small base salary and with the amount of hours you have to work, it equals less than minimum wage if you sell nothing. If you sell little, you make almost nothing. That is the reality of sales/commission jobs.That's how they get you. It's that simple. Here's the truth. I expect to see a flurry of more positive reviews posted after this one in a matter of days. Companies sometimes go out of their way to try to boast their ratings.

Pros

Ive been with Greater Boston for over a year but have been in the organization for over two years. My experience has been unimaginable! I had the opportunity to travel to multiple states to train, help other offices grow and an opportunity to manage an office myself. The pros, besides the great people the company attracts, is the support structure. Because Ive been so fortunate to meet, help, train with so many people across the country I have an Endless list of people I can network with at anytime, to help with any part of my growth. Learning first to be a team player, then a leader, then a mentor and then a business partner. No other industry has taught me so much in so little time. I also never had real goals in life, maybe I did have things I wanted to achieve but I didnt know how to get there. I now have a plan for my future! I feel very fortunate to have found this opportunity, just wish I found it much sooner!

Cons

The hours can be an adjustment to yourself, family, friends and significant others. Commission plus base can be an adjustment as well, but the company is always offering challenges, games and contest to keep the pay structure fresh and fun! They also encourage family and significant others to join in Team Nights and Events.
