Good for New Learning Experience, but Misleading - Special Events Coordinator Kings Collective Employee Review

Pros

Definitely a lot to learn if you're brand new to customer service.

Cons

A lot of the job was misleading, including pay, schedules, travel and simply the type of work compared to the job postings. Don't believe them: everyone starts in entry level sales, despite whatever outside experience you may have. Being a start up, there is a lot of room for them to change how they operate, but I don't foresee that happening.

Pros

Driving a few HOURS a day gives you time to listen to plenty of audio books while you annihilate your car from the ridiculous milage you put on to get to Sam's Clubs all over the state.

Cons

No schedule regularity because high turnover means you have to adjust to the needs of the company as employees realize how soul-sucking this job is and leave. The average day starts with a drive to the office every morning for cult-like brain washing meetings and then 40 miles to different Sam's clubs to set up a little stand and harass people to buy your product for 8 hours. Then you drive 40 miles back to the office again. There is no work life balance. You will work around 65 hours a week, a lot of it off the clock, for $500 a week, which totals below minimum wage. They target young college grads with no life experience which is why everyone there is under 30 and convince them that this job has potential. They tell you that you can be making $100,000 in less than a year and that you're management material but there is no money to be made here. This company lies about everything. The same company operates all over the country by hundreds of different names doing the exact same thing and telling the same lies everywhere. The offices are small and pop up and close down often so info on the company is harder to come by. This is pretty much the age-20-something version of selling Cutco knives. Working here was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made.

Thank you for your feedback- our events are in a 30 mile radius with mileage reimbursed. We do let everyone know that we are an event based marketing firm and travel is necessary. Events change all the time and things happen, which is why we are looking for individuals who understand the event industry of any type can be hectic. Again, this position isn't for everyone so I hope you find something more 9-5 and sustainable for your future endeavors.
