Pros

There are many pros to working at Bamko. First and foremost, it served as a great career opportunity for me. I was thrown a ton of interesting projects and been given significant responsibility. The people are great and the work environment is friendly. Compensation seems to be at or above market although I really don't know the market that well. Overall, Bamko is a positive place to work and I feel like exciting times are ahead.

Cons

The downside to working at Bamko is that there are a few people, particularly in mid-level management, that are kind of debbie downers. They contradict a lot of the direction from upper management and don't embody the overall positive culture that you see throughout Bamko. This small group of people can really drag down the overall mojo of the office.

Pros

Open office atmosphere. Nice location, free stuff from stack of promotional products that customers decline. Young personnel, who can become friends. Good for USC Grads

Cons

Zero Growth, less opportunity. False claims of success by CEO. Select few (former Frat brothers I think) get best leads. No marketing at all. Sweatshop mentality - actual whip sales people to make 100 cold calls a day. Kinda like a boiler room. Scant track record for sales to make over $100k.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your experience at BAMKO failed to meet expectations. We strive to provide an enriching experience for all BAMKO employees and it appears we came up short in this instance. We fully respect your right to share your experience. However, we ask that all postings comply with Glassdoor's community guidelines, which restrict each individual to a single post. One user posting multiple reviews from multiple accounts distorts feedback for future candidates and chips away at the incredible community that Glassdoor has built. We believe that each individual’s experience at BAMKO is relevant and deserves to be heard. However, it does a disservice to all when one individual attempts to elevate their voice above the rest.

Pros

It's a company meant for great people to work, very friendly work environment. It's a platform to build up your entrepreneurial skills and at the same time colleagues and management will help you to nurture those skills.

Cons

I didn't find any negative about the company.
