      Door to door sales job. They don’t tell you that during the interview. They say it’s a marketing job

      Pros

      If you like door to door sales you can get promoted within a year or two because everyone usually quits once they realize it’s actually a door to door sales job and not marketing.

      Cons

      They lie and say your sales come from “leads and in home presentations” but when you ask where those come from they change the subject and ask you if you want to be successful and make money or work a boring 9-5 job. They don’t tell you that once you’re hired you’re on your own and if you aren’t good at door to door sales you don’t get paid. Job is also crazy hours and they make you work saturdays. Overall a very sleazy company that pretends to be a fun company but actually just hires anyone that applies and uses them until they quit.

      Reviewer, We're sorry to see this feedback, as it's clear we did not do a good job throughout your interview and onboarding process. We'd like to make sure extremely straightforward to ensure there is no confusion for future interviewees and team members. We do residential sales on behalf of a leading energy client and are extremely proud of the work we do for them. We are the #1 source of new customer acquisitions for our current client and stand no benefit from misleading potential new hires as hiring and turnover are expensive. If you have any outstanding concerns, we welcome you to email them to hr@bostondirectinc.com. Thank you! Sincerely, Management

      Pros

      Interview was easy and quick (clearly because turnover rate is huge)

      Cons

      Completely misleading, it’s a scam of door to door which they don’t tell you until you’re in training, and they make it seem like such s small aspect, when in reality you’re going door to door in terrible neighborhoods in all weather.

      Hey, Reviewer! We want to make sure we're extremely clear for future readers, as it's clear there was a disconnecting throughout your interview & hiring process. We do outside, residential sales! Our work ensues in all weather, just like any other job. The Account Manager job entails face-to-face marketing & sales on behalf of our energy client. We have two interviews and orientation to ensure there is a complete understanding of what the job involves and are sorry to read that did not suffice. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Management

      Was mislead that I would be an Account Manager but you're really just doing door to door sales.

      Pros

      Everybody is nice and they hang out after work.

      Cons

      They hid the fact that this was door to door sales until you are already hired and in training.

      Reviewer, An account manager is a person who works for a company and is responsible for the management of sales and relationships with particular customers. We are extremely confident in the sales that we do because they accomplish exactly what an account managers mission is: the preservation/acquisition of customers. For any business, turnover is expensive, and we're not in the art of purposely hurting our bottom line. Our advice in return is to go to interviews armed with questions and only accept a position if it is aligned with your goals & skills. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Boston Direct Management Team
