Pros

A metric of how a company should not act. I am now working at the kind of full-time office job One up likes to denigrate and I hope that current and prospective One-up employees can someday experience the stability, respect, fair compensation, and balance I now do.

Cons

Deceptive Hiring Process- They will not obfuscate around the actual job (street cell phone distributor) and instead sell you on a fantasy of one-day making enough money to live on. This is not only abnormal but unethical. They project the aesthetics of a normal corporation (the office, jargon, etc.), this is a facade.. Day to Day- More Manipulation Just Add Exhaustion. You will work 12 hr+ days, 6 days a week and not be compensated for the morning meeting, evening meetings, and travel expenses. Your labor is a resource and your time is valuable. The commission-per-phone "compensation" is less than minimum wage and ignores the dignity of employees. Toxic "hustle culture" mentality- Management mocks work-life balance, traditional employers, while promoting "hustle culture". Working 6 days a week for 12 hrs a day while not making minimum wage is not something to gloat about. Ask yourself, who benefits from this you, or the company owners? There is a reason why management pushes "grinding everyday" down employees throats and try to make you think that you've found this get rich opportunity hocking phone that somehow earns you less than minimum wage. "If you can't spot the sucker, the sucker IS YOU."

Pros

absolutely nothing (also, notice how the only good reviews are from current employees? Its because they force employees to leave good reviews).

Cons

BEWARE, this is an absolute scam. Most people lose money, work 6-7 days a week, 60+ hours a week. If you currently work there, please look online and see how companies like these ruin people's lives. NO PROFESSIONAL JOB will EVER make you work 7 days a week and 60 plus hours... NONE. Please get yourself an entry level marketing job at a real company who provides health insurance, BREAKS, and only working 5 days a week (doesn't a whole weekend sound nice?!) Do not waste your time / money / energy on this company or any other companies like this. I will be reporting this company to glassdoor in hopes this company will be banned from this website. Total scam. Please always always remember to look up reviews before you start working for a company!!

We are sorry that you have a misunderstanding of our team at One Up Inc. We would like to address your false claims. Our company is not a MLM company. We operate legally and ethically in the state of California. We are also located in Lakewood, not Los Angeles. I believe you have the wrong company. We are very proud of the team we have built and the service that we provide to our clients, and we are honest about what we do here at One Up and with every applicant we interview. We offer a variety of compensation plans that are discussed with each applicant during their interview process. Therefore, there should be no confusion with compensation or hours worked after the interview. We take satisfaction in the fact that we offer training in all sides of business, including sales on the front end and management and leadership on the back end. We are sorry our opportunities did not align with your career goals.

Pros

There are no pros. I hated here! Total Scam!!!

Cons

Their job description is completely different from the interview. You basically give out free government phones to low income citizens. It's a scam. You just set up a booth and give out phones. Promised a salary but it's only based on commission. It was so ridiculous that I had to quit. They sent me a check but it bounced back!!! I never ever got paid for my time.
