Pros

Scam, Door-to-Door PRYAMID SCHEME Sales Commission ONLY company The people are nice but has cultish feeling. If you don't drink the cool-aid of this company and eat, sleep & breathe this theory of selling door-to-door will change your life then you feel like an outsider. It was not the greatest fit for me because I am young and just started a family. All young kids in the company so I thought it was going to be a fun start-up company with the picture they painted during the interview process. Again, pros are the kids are really nice, but they are not truthful in what the job entails. My interpretation is 1 out of million can be a successful in this multi-level marketing company and the rest are all sales with extremely low commission per sale. The idea is to come in and sell enough then be promoted to management, resulting in the next level of owning your own business in an open territory around the country. This business has high turn over. The pay is commission only. I wish them well, but DO NOT quit a salary position to take a chance on this because the odds are slim this door-to-door will pay off especially in the winters here in Cleveland.

Cons

Pay is ONLY commission and door-to-door company. There are no benefits. This is a high risk company to take a chance on and the jobs that they advertise are all the same position which is extremely misleading for a career driven individual.

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, that is an inaccurate representation of the company. First off, a "pyramid scheme" is not legal in the United States and we do not condone those practices. In reference to your comment on the company engaging in “door to door sales”, the definition of door to door sales is as follows … “a canvasing technique that is generally used for sales, in which the person or persons walk from the door of one house to the other door of another, trying to sell or advertise a product or service..”. We work directly with business owners and medical facilities, we do not visit or market to any residences. We specialize in a consultative sale, client acquisition and retention, and direct marking for our company. Regarding “100% commission” we offer two payment packages.. one involving a commission, residual income, and bonus structure and the other involving salary plus commission. You voluntarily chose our commission package and signed a document stating that fact. Every new hire has the choice to choose between either package depending on their personal preference. The safety of our employees is of the utmost importance to us. Each representative at MG8 Cleveland is asked to create a list of 3-5 territories they feel comfortable working in. Following that the director provides the representative with one of those specified territories. If a representative feels unsafe in any area it is their responsibility to speak to the director directly about their discomfort. Because the list is provided by the representative the area where they work is 100% their decision. Finally, you mentioned “one out of a million can be successful..”. People define their own success and set their own goals. However, there are roughly 400+ offices in our organization. They and their employees have all found success in this business. Generally it does take longer than a week to become confident with the practices and systems we pride ourselves on. Thank you again for your feedback! We wish you and your family the best in the future!

Pros

MG8 has a pretty strong career path for those willing to work hard and put in the effort. The training is top-notch and the pay is pretty good compared to other entry level positions. I think the best thing about working here is that the faster you learn, the faster you progress.

Cons

This industry isn't for everyone. You have to have grit and determination to do well. This isn't really a typical job where you can just clock in and clock out.

Pros

Very tight-knit cult like atmosphere, coffee was free, sweet game room so many games on Xbox for our boss to play while we work for free.

Cons

Working for free isn’t always fun and it’s not for everyone. The “CEO” “President” may reply and say hey this just wasn’t for you it wasn’t free work. My rebuttal to that is that every morning you are forced to pretend to have fun for 2 hours for no pay. I mean that. There is 0 possible explanations for why we need to do that and as well 0 possible ways to make money during that forced gametime. While I am here how does our ceo get payed? Definitely don’t ever ask that question. While I was employed Mr. President was overly touchy and weird. Work life balance is expected to exclude friends and family forget those. Lastly lying or misleading customers is very encouraged.
