You make money, but not enough for the amount of work you put in - Sales Representative Codis Group Employee Review

This is not a marketing firm. It is 100% sales and commission based, with a supplemental pay to help you out when you don’t meet their quote (however, that money is loaned to you and will be paid back by taking it out of future paychecks). You work very hard and drive a lot, which isn’t a deal breaker in a job, but it is for little compensation. They will tel you that it is your fault for failing and that you are not working hard enough, your emotions are getting in the way, you’re not being systematic enough, etc etc. I averaged 8-10 sales a week, about $1k in sales and it was not even close to worth it with the amount of stress and work you had to put into getting that result. They boast promotions, but it is just more responsibility with the same pay structure. There is a good opportunity for upward mobility, but the stars have to be perfectly aligned and you need to be on your game and at top effort level 100% of the time, which is near impossible for a normal human with a life outside of work. Sales should be merit based, and this place is advertised as such, but that’s not always the case. It is advertised as a place where they lift one another up and win as a team, but that’s not how the manager and his right hand people are. The work environment seems fun and light. But when push comes to shove, this job will work you into the ground and others can become very cutthroat. I don’t believe this is because of the employees, but rather from a select few and management that breed this environment out of necessity and selfishness
