Pros

Good at talking to make the job sound cool

Cons

They do not actively work with fortune 500 companies and do marketing and all this other stuff they claim, you actually get paid 8 an hour to stand inside target or costco and sell phone to people. They emplore you to lie/take advantage/do whatever it takes to close a sale. Which you have to do if you want to make more than 8 dollars an hour.

Pros

Very fun environment, team culture

Cons

It is NOT what they say it is. They promise rapid promotion, and being your own CEO in a couple years. However, once you get in the office they actually promote lying to the customer to sell products, and openly talk about how dumb and gullible the customer is. Not only that, you are actually just posted up at Sam's Club selling ATT lines to random customers getting turned away all day. You make $10 an hour, on top of sales which can be profitable, however you have to be very pushy and sleezy to convince them to say yes. So good opportunity for you if you have no conscience. Look up "mlm marketing scam" or "marketing scam" on reddit to see very similar experiences from others. Also you must work weekends.

Southern Event Management Response

Southern Event Management is an authorized AT&T vendor, and it is illegal for stores to work with unauthorized, unregistered vendors. We apologize for your disagreements with our company procedures but we are transparent about the schedule and salary from the initial interview. We appreciate your feedback and strive to clear up any misunderstandings in the future.

Pros

Do not even apply here, there are no pros. The people working here are attempting to scam people out of their time and effort to enrich themselves.

Cons

This is a box store salesman position. 100% commission work, no benefits, pay is awful. Glassdoor claims that company’s aren’t padding their reviews but the exact same verbatim phrase is used in 6 five star interviews.
