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.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing. You're giving great opportunities to people of various backgrounds looking to grow personally and learn sales skills.

Pros

Thorough training Good incentives Decent hours Travel opportunities

Cons

Weird culture Favouritism Gatekeeping Misleading prospects Disorganised structure General fakeness

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

Advice to Management

pay your staff what is owed

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...

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.

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

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Thanks for teaching me so many things.

Pros

They do fun team nights sometimes but they are expensive and only good if they like you. If you are naturally great at sales and they like you will make more than minimum wage.

Cons

There are so many. They are the same company as Simplx, AIM Sydney and what used to be HUNTER BAILEY (google that before you apply). They are technically different companies but they do the same thing and train you all together. They trick you in the interview process - you think there is a salary but there isn't - ALL COMMISSIONS and they take random money out of the comms you are owed for no reason each week....

Advice to Management

Don't lie to people - admit what you do. Pay people more and don't be so cruel to your employees. Stop praying on young people who need a job so you can use them for a few weeks before leaving them with nothing

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

Advice to Management

Unethical - legal loop hole to pay less than minimum wage

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

Advice to Management

- be more honest and realistic with your employees
