Waste of time - Junior Marketing Associate Front Page Agency Employee Review

Job posting was incredibly misleading, and for the salary they were preaching they seemed to hire incompetently quickly. Got an offer the same week as my interview and thought it may have been a good opportunity. It was not. The entire company boasts a fake energy that is anything but genuine. Even throughout the onboarding meeting there were fake smiles with nothing behind them. Pay is straight up mediocre. And you have to have an “evaluation” to decide whether or not you’re eligible to receive commissions, despite the amount of work you may have already done you will not be paid for them. In addition to that, the daily rate of pay is abhorrent. You are expected to work 9 hours without a break, 6 days a week. And they promised that “sometimes” you’d get a half day on Saturday. The main premise of the job is not what the job description says. You will be taken along to an “event” to “market products,” which literally means you go to a Walmart or other shopping center to set up a booth essentially spam shoppers with useless information and products. Your main goal is to try to manipulate people (who are trying to go normally about their day, or just trying to get groceries in peace) into getting some stupid product or package that they are not interested in. This is a job in which you sell snake oil. They try and try to have a positive upbeat attitude yet they shame you tirelessly and aggressively if you can’t match their energy. I was even told not to yawn because “it drags everybody else down” and “damages productivity in an irrecoverable way.” In addition to that, once I left the company I was never paid for my time. Not. One. Cent. I am currently in the process of taking legal action because of that. Do not waste your time with this horrendous organization.
