Focus Marketing Events Response
8yThank you for your review. At Focus Marketing Events, we are always grateful for reviews, whether good or bad, so as to improve our process as a business. With that said, out of transparency and fairness to other applicants who may see this, we'd like to address a few of the opinions of this former employee.
First and foremost, we are disappointed to see this former employee delete their previous review to post a newer but identical review, thus deleting our company response along with it. We feel that transparency is important to all candidates researching our company, but such transparency is not possible with a deletion of the response.
Secondly, this post contains several factual errors:
1) An employee working 60 hours per week earning $300 would equate to $5.00 per hour. This review states that their understanding of the pay is a base of $8.25, not $5.00, showing a clear discrepancy of fact regarding pay. Additionally, any employee working over 40 hours in a week is required to be paid overtime pay, per state labor laws. Zero employees work 60 hours per week.
2) All employees log their own work hours using a phone application and payroll is processed by ADP, which would eliminate any chance of an employee being paid incorrectly.
3) Our company has a reimbursement policy for driving.
4) All morning work meetings are paid. There are no night work meetings. Our company often hosts "team night" activities, in which employees are invited to attend team-building activities for fun, which are purely optional.
While we are appreciative of reviews, we hope that all posts aim to provide fact and transparency out of fairness of other candidates. We certainly hope that those posting reviews do not erase their posts in hopes of hiding the facts and truth. Thank you for allowing us to respond to this opinion.
