Pros
I love working for BGP! Its not only a Sales Job i can make my paychecks GROW...but also i get to help kids nationwide continue to plays sports all year long at the same time! I believe in this sale which makes it easier to do! 😊
Cons
Sales is not a easy JOB but if you have a passion for children like we do at BGP then you can be good a team player and help kids out that need that extra help!

Pros
The only pro I can come up with for this place is it is simply a job. It pays money. Some of the people that have come and gone have been cool people to meet, and most of the time it is a fun work environment. I'll give them that.
Cons
First of all, the good reviews on here are so obviously written by management and possibly the owner himself. It's both hilarious and disgusting that they seriously took the time to do that. You can't polish dog crap, sorry. This place is micromanaged like you wouldn't believe. They are constantly ripping off their employees and also the schools they work with, and are constantly coming up with loopholes and excuses to wiggle out of it. I have seen so many people get hired and fired within a week. They don't give new people a chance, and the employees that have managed to stick around the longest get treated like they're still brand new. Just don't work here if you can help it, this company is a total scam. To the schools and to their employees. I'm looking for a new job currently, something I should have done a while ago.

Pros
The opportunity to make a lot of money is definitely there. If you work hard and have a good attitude, you will love this job. Management is always willing to help reps and they put a lot of time into training and development. The company has a lot of perks, great benefits, spiffs, dinners and fun trips! The company spends a lot of money on marketing to bring in leads…
Cons
If you expect to come in and put in minimal effort, you won't do well here. You have to work hard and push yourself to really make good money, but when you do, the potential is unreal.

Pros
My experience at Big Game Promotions has been very rewarding and positive so far. The company culture is fun, everyone is friendly and supportive of one another, and we work hard raising funds for High School sports teams. We provide a free service to schools and deliver a great product as well!
Cons
Contacting businesses for support can be a challenge--not everyone realizes the importance of fundraising and keeping sports in schools. Sometimes overcoming rejection is difficult.

Pros
Well what I can think of is: Fun environment. Music playing while working. Easy to get a job there. High energy the whole time. Decent incentive and prizes fot sales.
Cons
Most people are parolees or just got out of jail. A LOT of work. Difficult personal goals. Early work hours. You're a telemarketer, so there's that. It's not for everyone. Some people just won't make sales. The management and other workers don't really care about training you. Really, the only place to move up is like a lead position.

Pros
The only pro I have is this job allowed me to take care of my family, unitl the owner tried to take that away. I did meet some good people who have since left the company
Cons
managment rips off employees(more than one current labor board claim filed) treats employees bad, owner lies to people and rips off communities they work with. I honesly could no longer look at myself in the mirror working for Big Game, knowing that kids are losing money because of the greed and busness tactics by managment

Pros
The PEOPLE! I loved everyone that I worked with including management and Mr Celaschi. The company is all about being positive, working hard, and having fun. I never had a job where I enjoyed going to work every day. If I didnt go back to college I would still be there.
Cons
sales work hours 630am-3pm (a little too early :) )

Pros
Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I learned a lot throughout my time here at BGP. It is a fun work environment and I really enjoy being here. I never felt micromanaged and enjoyed my independence with my position.
Cons
Overall, it was great working here. Only problem was at times there was not enough work for me to do.
