"O'Connor Marketing: Unscrupulous and exploitive of backpackers"

Doesn't RecommendI worked at O'Connor Marketing full-time (Less than a year)
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.Advice to Management
Stop hiring backpackers. You were dishonest about how cut-throat the process was. I have no doubt that you do turn some backpackers into good sales people. But that is the exception, not the rule. Your dozens of ads on backpacker job web pages make it seem as though this job is cut out for hard-working backpackers. It is not.

"Account manager"

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at O'Connor Marketing full-time (More than a year)
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 itCons
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 thereAdvice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing!!

"Not getting paid"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at O'Connor Marketing full-time
Pros
They do trainings really well. And the environment is fun
Cons
They can fire you just like that without telling what was wrong plus whatever days you've worked they drag it on n not pay you I've been contacting since last 4 weeks now. Either they don't reply and if they do they lingers it on.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookPros
Great social aspect! They are crazy nice to you right at the beginning!
Cons
Thankfully I was good at the sales so I managed to get about $14 an hour when I worked it out! 😂 The top sales rep makes maximum $19 when you take into account all of the training that you have to do (which is unpaid) then you have to come into the office for no reason every morning so that once your good enough you can train the next guy but oh wait do you get paid for this training? No! Haha joke of a company if you work here or have worked here get out now!
Advice to Management
I really think that you need to take a long look at your self in the mirror! What you are doing to people is going to come back and bite you one day!

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at O'Connor Marketing full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
O'Connor Marketing was the first company to give me an opportunity in Recruitment, which is a role I had been trying to get into for such a long time, I feel very lucky to have been given an entry level position to learn as much as I can with a lot of area to progress within the company.
All of the staff I work with are extremely positive always available to help and answer questions.Cons
Although the office is easy to find and easy to get to, I live out west so I have to wake up rather early for a long commute.
Advice to Management
I think that all team members should receive sales training no matter what role they are in as I feel that was the biggest help, even for the role I am in!

friendly people, well at least on the surface
Cons
they dont tell you this but youre actually hired as a sub contractor and so you'll get paid less than minimum award. you'll also work long hours to travel to their target areas for which you arent compensated for at all..
