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

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

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

-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

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

- 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

No pros - it's a pyramid scheme but have to write twenty words

Cons

Pyramid scheme, scam young naive uni grads by selling the role as marketing associate or some such

Pros

- learn crucial sales skills - improve your efficiency and discipline - great for students who need to improve their skills

Cons

- slightly cult like culture - poor pay unless you are a god at sales (commission only) - long work hours and a lot of walking
