Pieroth Reviews

'Warm leads' were three years old with many who would scream down the other end of phone 'I have asked to be taken off list'. Were pushed to use these 'so called' leads and blamed for the lack of appointments from these leads. One of the higher managers also claimed a few of our sales. High turn over!!!!! On average., about one person would leave per week! At the beginning of employment (inc me) we were enthusiastic but it didn't take long to feel discouraged!!!! They expected 6 days a week work run for less than 600/week with lots of driving all over city, and telemarketing sales. Work/life balance meant absolutely nothing to them!!!! No organisation!!!! Didn't know what to expect from one day to the next!!! Would be told to book appointments for one day, then told to cancel those to do telemarketing of booth tasting!!! Terrible terrible place to work for!!!

There are many so i'll try to condense it. No respect for customer base who are bombarded with phone calls for weeks even after they've asked repeatedly not to be called. There were also blatant lies told to customers about the wines. Further, unscrupulous methods were encouraged when selling to what would be called the 'vulnerable' because short term gain is what this company looks for. High turnover of staff because the work/life balance in skewed towards the business so much so that along with the pressure burns out many. I personally saw near a dozen leave in the 6 months i was there. I would just avoid because the business model is so out dated that their 'premium' wines are far easily outshines by the multitude of other wine merchants/outlets that do not pride themselves on outdated business practices and pseudo Glengarry Glen Ross selling techniques.
