1. Determine you're own worth, and earn unlimited commisions, with a base salary to help those with minimal experience or none at all get started. 2. Progression into management training program very rapidly or as quick as each individual is able to learn 3. Performance based allowing those with the strongest will to succeed the opportunity to grow as fast as possible.

Cons

Can be challenging, or a steep learning curve if no prior management experience

Pros

Do You Like Wal-Mart and empty promises? Boy do I have an opportunity for you! The best part is this opportunity doesn't have to be backed with any monetary value or employee benefit. Perfect for individuals that enjoy working long hours without monetary compensation or overtime pay. The job keeps it intereststing by being subjected to a Jim Jones like atmosphere of "drink the Kool-aid or get out!" This opportunity is perfect for individuals that have no problem missing important life events such as weddings, christenings, funerals, and the birth of your first born child.

Cons

The company has to train their leadership to follow systems in order to get new entry level employees to start. The interview process is scripted literally a line is to " shut down any questions that the employee has before they happen" The basic description of the job is this, you stand in Walmart from around 12-8 pm daily, including weekends, and are encouraged to work overtime (without pay) in order to manipulate patrons into purchasing a package for Direct TV that they neither need nor can afford. Fortunately you are given the finest technical support that the company has to offer in the form of dropped calls, hidden fees from the technicians on installs, and the ever present relentless badgering of why your mentality is not up to par if you fail to perform by your sales leaders and coworkers. Essentially it is like being beaten over the head with a rainbow made-up of delusions of grandeur. The company preaches vehemently that they are a people helping people business, however they have an attitude that the fault lies not in the systems that are held at a biblical level reverence but in the individuals themselves. Creativity is discouraged, employee disgruntlement is simply assuaged with an ethereal picture that is presented of climbing Jacob's ladder to reach ownership it is presented as a brief summary in the interview process and the compensation is glossed over in order to make it seem like the real reason someone enters the role is for this opportunity. Also, while meetings are not mandatory they are encouraged or employees are denied opportunity to advancement due to a constant need to never catch their breath even on days off or late in the evening 10:30 at night start times. The employees are meant to remain distracted by upper management in the same way that the unwashed masses of Rome were distracted during the fall of Rome with "panem et cercenses" or in modern English "bread and circuses" a timeless practice of distracting the employees from their lack of benefits and pay with simple challenges that have subjected employees to police involvement due to the ever prized culture of the business.

Good afternoon! After reading your review, here are a few points to your review I'd like to touch on: 1) At Primetime we have high standards which is why we are nationally recognized by our clients as a top performing office. If those standards are not met, we part ways respectively. However, we also have one of the most friendly and helpful cultures around, so helping someone who asks for it is something all of us here will gladly do. 2) We only hire people that we believe can be successful. We show people a clear path of how to get from point A to point B and offer continued support, encouragement, mentorship, training, and assistance for those who pull their weight. 3) You mention "working long hours without monetary compensation or overtime pay" which are subjective terms. We work about 40-45 hours a week. Our top people work extra as it relates to learning/development/growth. When we hire someone, we go through paperwork that every team member signs stating how pay works. There is a guaranteed salary every week plus unlimited commissions and the higher of the two is paid out. If you had no installs, we would have been happy to help you get better! We (the company) ONLY get paid when sales get installed. Our team members have that guaranteed base salary, so that means without installs, we lose money on our team members. 4) To your "Drink the Kool-Aid" comment; I'll pour it proudly. If everyone on the team shares our values and determination, we will achieve more. If someone doesn't share our huge vision and goals, we will happily go our separate ways. What's most disappointing to me and all of our employees here is that you took it upon yourself to leave such a dishonest and inaccurate review of our company after every employee here went out of their way to make sure that you could be successful. However, we can't want your success more than you want your own. If you had complaints or concerns about my company, I would have preferred you brought them to me yourself as we have one of the best open door policies you will find in a business. To anyone reading this review, please come in and find out for yourself why we are nationally recognized as one of the best places to work in Raleigh, NC and the surrounding area.

Pros

Positive and energetic atmosphere True Open Door Policy Working at Primetime Business Solutions Inc.has been an incredible opportunity, I have grown so much both on a professional and personal level. They don't just say they care about investing in their employees but they back it up with their actions daily - something that is rare to find in the corporate world.

Cons

Honestly I have no complaints and plan on working here for a long time.
