Misleading job description and practice Wage Exploitation. "Pyramid Scheme"
Pros
FALSE SALES PITCHING IS ENCOURAGED!!! The leadership encourages salespeople to do whatever it takes to make a sale. Even if it means to take advantage of customers who may be confused, particularly those who are elderly or mentally challenged. I have had direct experience with this while working on the Spectrum campaign, which entails Marketing Assistants stopping and harassing Walmart customers as they come across the electronics section. This experience has given me more confidence in communicating with people through face-to-face indirect marketing. It has been a great help in boosting my self-assurance.
Cons
This is NOT a marketing role!!! This is 110% direct sales. This "Marketing Firm" can only thrive through "Wage Exploitation" This "Marketing Firm" is actually a direct sales company that uses unethical practices in order to take advantage of their employees by forcing them to work additional hours without receiving any form of compensation besides commission on sales. Everyday this company pressures their employees into working harder "longer hours" in order to advance in their careers. Wage exploitation take many forms in this company such as underpayment, unpaid overtime & days, and the refusal to pay wages owed. It is an illegal practice and can result in serious legal consequences for the employer. The MARKETING ASSISTANT role is where everyone starts and then gets promoted up the scale. This is the first role of a Pyramid Scheme. If you don't already know what a "Pyramid Scheme" is then google it. I believe the base pay is 25K, plus commission. FYI, I have never received any of the base pay. This job is a total SCAM! They advertise shorter hours and Sundays off, but in reality you are expected to work from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM every single day of the week, Monday to Friday and half days on weekends "Fundays".
