Pros

They have a very nice saltwater fish tank, and a fancy building downtown. Nothing else is good about this company.

Cons

This company is a scam. It is a marketing ladder. They work you 6 sometimes 7 days a week. You walk around a store all day, and approach random strangers to sign up. There's no way to make it to manager level. They say once you are a manager you will have your own office and you won't have to be in the stores. But the managers are right there in the stores with you trying to sign people up. They also hold your pay for two weeks, so by the time you get your check, you may have lost track of the commissions you earned, if they pay them to you at all. Also you drive everywhere and don't get compensated for gas.

Dear Reviewer- Thank you for taking the time out of your day to review our company. We are saddened to hear you did not have a pleasant experience while working at our firm. With that being said, our company thrives on growth from within. Usually the training program can take from 6-8 months. Our last promotion was within 5 months! So in fact, it is possible to get into upper-level management, all you need to is hard-work and dedication. Also, when you started with our company you were given a printed out pay schedule which, in detail stated that all paychecks are given out two weeks out. You also would have signed digital documents stating that exact same thing. For your reference you have both the digital documents sent to your email and the original pay schedule we gave you on your first day. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to sent them directly to our HR department at hr@newacquisitionsinc.com.

Good environment to learn sales. Everything was taught to me and the leaders and managers were super helpful!

Cons

I didn't enjoy that I lived an hour from the office but that's not their fault

Pros

You might meet some cool co-workers while working here. I personally did. Also, the office park this place is headquartered at is pretty nice.

Cons

You have to wake up real early, dress in business professional every morning, and be at this uptown office park by 7 AM. You will be expected to arrive early, even if you don't get paid (I was SPECIFICALLY told to arrive more than 15 minutes earlier than I was scheduled for or else I would be considered "late"). Once you arrive, you will do very little and talk about stuff that could have just been an email for about an hour in a half. You will be expected to write everything down in a notebook to prove you are "paying attention". Then you will leave, go stand in the frozen foods aisle of a Costco for 8 hours whilst approaching and annoying passing grocery shoppers with the same tagline over and over until you can finally convince someone to subscribe to a lowly-rated water delivery service or whatever product they are having you promote at the time, which you will get $50 for. If you don't do these enough times by the end of the week, well, then congratulations you just wasted your time.

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that our team members are only scheduled and compensated for their agreed-upon hours, and we do not require unpaid work. Punctuality and professionalism are expectations in any client-facing role, but they are never tied to unpaid time. Our morning meetings are structured training sessions focused on skill development, communication, and performance coaching - which are essential in a sales and marketing environment. Field marketing in retail settings is also clearly communicated during the hiring process, as it is a core part of the position. We strive to be transparent about responsibilities, compensation structure, and growth opportunities from the start, and we encourage candidates to ask questions to ensure the role aligns with their goals. We appreciate all feedback and continuously work to improve the experience for our team.
