O'Connor Marketing Reviews

Pros

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to grow confidence, learn sales skills, learn about teaching, training and managing and also just to meet some really awesome people.

Cons

Can't think of any bad things. As long as you put in the effort, you'll see the results.

Pros

-Opportunity for growth if you work hard and stay at the company. -Fun office atmosphere in mornings -- if you like loud music and very outgoing personalities. -Will help you to become a better sales person if that is what you want to do in your career.

Cons

-Dishonest during hiring process. -Will not hesitate to fire you -- at any point after your first day -- if you are not meeting sales targets, which are high. This is antithetical to how they say they will treat you during the hiring process. -Make you pay for your own public transportation when you are required to go a long way on trains for the job. -B2B marketing means walking around and going into random stores (anything from McDonald to law offices) and trying to convince the employees to give money to your campaign. And even if you do work on a charity campaign, OMC takes a 60-percent cut of what you raise and uses it to fund all-expenses-paid trips for top sales people, so it's hard to feel good about the work that you do. If you are looking for a career in sales and/or already have some experience, you should work for OMC. If you are a backpacker looking to make money while you travel Australia, find work somewhere else.

Pros

Honestly wouldn't be able to think of one

Cons

They will fire you without a heartbeat, the workplace is full of gossip, they have found a loophole to pay below the minimum wage, get treated like animals, for example, you won't be able to have a proper break, they hire backpackers who will replace you

Pros

- Came into the job not knowing anything about sales and was given all the training and information I needed to get better - The opportunity for growth and criteria you need to hit to get promoted are clearly laid out for people when they start - The management team is extremely knowledgeable and effective at teaching people the things they need to know to help you move your own situation forward - The hours and days are flexible and the team goes out of their way to help you if you need it

Cons

I live out west and although the office is easy to find the traffic I get in the morning can sometimes be unbearable For everyone who wants to progress to a more senior management role has the opportunity to do so but to get there you need to put in hard work and effort to get there

Pros

Lively environment in the morning

Cons

- commission based ONLY - after 2 hours in the office in the morning, you must travel to different suburbs everyday and do 6 hours of sales - travel fare is not compensated for - door to door sales - lots of walking, even in the rain - you don’t get paid on your first 2 weeks - pyramid- like scheme where the only way people can move up in career progression is to have people work under you. I was told this by manager. So they will do whatever it takes to hire as many naive and desperate people and have them stick around and work - no superannuation

Pros

-staff seem friendly at first, but it became clear that the sales culture is also transferred to fake friendships -great office location in city -training and understanding of sales and goals

Cons

-they failed to pay me what was owed -you're essentially selling raffle tickets, doing cold call door-to-door sales for a non-tangible product in a lottery -no set breaks, so you're working for hours for little pay

Pros

Fun atmosphere Mentorship Incentives Great people Goal orientated business Learn something new and useful every day

Cons

Location in the city so no parking

Pros

O’Connor Marketing provided me with the opportunity to fast-track my career in the sales industry. Before working with OMC I had been trying to find a position that was right for me and had never even thought of going into sales. Working so closely with the management team I have learnt how to manage my time better, perform professional presentations in front of a group of people, be confident interacting with anyone and everyone, gained communication and negotiation skills and developed life-long friendships! The company is supportive, motivating, energetic and fast-paced! The team helped me to reach my personal and professional goals and develop into a professional sales representative.

Cons

The company works in an extremely fast-paced environment which means if you’re not on the ball it is easy to take a few steps back - which is bound to happen in business! The management team are always there to support and guide you when things get tough!

Pros

Excellent training; good support from management; young and fun environment; regular competitive bonus options; good office location; travel

Cons

- No salary (entire pay packet is commission-based, which they do not explain to you during the interview process - in fact, after I questioned the lack of salary in the contract I was told that the pay would be $400/week + commission + bonuses - this was not true). - Lack of job security and very long hours (8am-6:30pm Monday to Friday plus Saturday work) - 'B2B marketing' means 'door-to-door sales' (business AND residential) - Pay for own transport (even though daily public transport is required for the job) - Sales targets are unrealistic for all but the top performers and even top performing salespeople only take home ~$1,000 per week (i.e. ~$50,000 per year - most entry level administration assistant jobs pay more for less hours work and less stress)
