Glorified Pyramid Scheme - Management Trainee Chicago Retail Solutions Employee Review

Let me start off by saying that this is solely an in-store sales job. There are much more lucrative sales jobs available, ones with better leads, higher conversions, and significantly higher commissions. - No value to you as an individual, you are just a means to their sales goals - No flexibility in teaching, you must do it by their system with their pitch lines - Lofty expectations defy the claims job requiring no sales experience - You will be given a heap of info during "training" and then verbally abused for not being able to recall it instantly in the future - Management has no issue lying to your face and pretending as if they are not - So much more - Long hours (50+ per week, 6 days a week) It is a a pyramid scheme. You will be in stores to make sales. You get paid solely for your sales. The minimum wage portion is simply to meet legal requirements, as is the day off. Your managers get a large cut of your sales. Their manager gets a cut as well. If you do well enough, you'll be "promoted" to managing a team and then to running your own branch. If you do poorly, you'll be let go and the revolving door will let the next poor sap in line give it a whirl. If you are desperate for a job, then consider this position. Otherwise, you can work a retail job and get the same experience with a more flexible schedule, and better treatment. If you are good at sales, this may be worth it for you, but as I said in my opening - better sales positions exist.
