Pros

Great people Skill development Innovative products Genuine leadership Career mobility So. I worked with these guys for the summer and I loved them. They really taught me about work ethic, interpersonal skills, a business management. It's all about people and balance. I became better at managing myself and took a lot of pride in seeing others development as a result of some of my teaching. It was a great opportunity to learn new skills in marketing and sales and put them into practice. Coming from the west coast I saw their products already over there and I thought it was a great chance to be part of a growing firm in Miami. Everything was straightforward and the new manager Andres works just as hard, if not harder, as the promotional staff. The training was very hands-on and they went about the sales and marketing aspect in a professional way. I also earned more than what I was making before, and advanced within 2 months as a supervisor.

Cons

A lot of the younger representatives were unreliable or irresponsible and I feel that management should have had a zero-tolerance policy for them. It was a shame, especially because management are good people. More team events would have been great, too, despite having dinners now and then.

Pros

The company seems well established. They have a system in place to get young and aspiring candidates to reach high places if they have the drive and ambition to do so. This is definitely a sales job with an hourly pay as well as incentives to not give up. They will teach you how to approach different people and situations (Direct marketing at its finest), get you out of your comfort zone, and for the most part have you experience what hard work is really about.

Cons

The company would be great if they were more straight forward. What I mean by this is that, during the interview process they attempt to 'sell' the job to you, by telling you, you can reach management position making over a 100k once you 'pass' the initial 'training'. They do tell you what you'll be actually doing but its very vague. Without going in to too much detail, I was completely thrown off on the first day when I realized you are thrown out on to the streets to sell a 'high end' cosmetic line to business' and people of Miami. Being a Catholic I did not like the idea of sometimes having to up-sell the product knowing it was cheaply made. "You sell yourself not the product" one of the employees stated to me. As I figured out more of the company by asking the employees personal questions. I realized most of them have been in the 'training' stage for far too long. I was promised the training would be about a year and you would then get promoted to get closer to the manager position. Most employees have been there for far longer doing the same thing every day, selling cheap cosmetics to people while their manager gets richer. In the end, you basically become a manager by getting your own group of workers to do the same job you were doing a few months ago (That is if you make it that far).
