Pros

Very social place to work. Everyone seems to get along with each other and motivate each other.

Cons

IT IS 100% COMMISSION and PYRAMID STRUCTURE OFFICE !! And let me run you through my experience working here. You need to dress high class/suit and tie when you go to the office in the morning. (kinda for no reason since nobody stays dressed out in the field). You then go in a big room with no chairs or desks to sing, dance, and clap. After that everyone disperses to different cities (where you don't even have to be dressed up for). You have to walk into peoples buildings and businesses and door to door sell them things using a sketched pitch over and over. After a day of all that you go back to the office for more clapping and dancing. I made scrap for cash there and couldn't afford to work there anymore.

I believe you have us confused with another company. We keep our professional business suits on to meet with our clients and their customers all day. Not sure where you worked that this was not required but we have a contract with our current client that we be dressed when we are representing them. May we suggest you take a look at the company name that you left this review for and leave this there and remove it here? It would be a shame that a job candidate read this and think that what you wrote is truthful. We appreciate you taking the time to review - feedback is always important for any company to grow and become better at what they do, unfortunately that company you are writing about will not know until you leave this review there. Thanks again!

Pros

Although I only worked here for a short time you can tell the office, overall, was a very close knit group. They have great bonding nights and everyone seems to get along very well even though it is a competition amongst colleagues.I can see why it is a best rated place to work for this reason.

Cons

BluMarc lies. They tell you in both interviews (two total, one with the manager and one with a trainer) that it is a marketing firm.. It is not. Trust me, they are very good at working and stretching the truth by carefully selecting their wording. Do not let this fool you, they are a straight up B2B(going door to door to other businesses) selling Quill products, which are office supplies. When you go out in the field BluMarc doesnt even get mentioned. Their sales pitch just states they represent Quill, a Staples brand.. Nothing about Blumarc. Melissa, the manager and CEO at the Bridgewater location, is in charge of the Quill selling products, while the other manager at the office(apparently) is in charge of the marketing with the Fortune 500 companies they pride themselves on. They make you seem, since you interview with her you will be apart of the marketing perspective, false. Oh and they are 10 hour days, not that it matters I believe they told me that but yeah. 100% commission too even though they tell you paid training.

Pros

Cant think of anything at the moment. Fake smiles...

Cons

No stability, No trust! Beware of phone calls from companies like this. Ask a ton of questions to get the truth out of them before making a decision.

Unfortunately I am not sure how to address your feedback. It is very ambiguous. You are correct that it would not make sense for anyone to engage in employment with any company based on a lie. It would not serve us well to have someone start employment, only to leave disgruntled and have something negative to say. I am not sure where the miscommunication could have been. Please feel free to contact our office if you would like to address anything in particular. We do wish you well in your future endeavors.
