Pros

Opportunity for fun trips if given the chance to go. But that’s really all.

Cons

This is definitely a multilevel marketing company but they will not phrase it that way. They are very clever with their wording and job titles. You basically walk around a Sams Club all day approaching people trying to get them to buy products. This is even the case for “management”. They start you at minimum wage. You can make commission but people are so annoyed when you approach them while they are shopping that it is hard to make any significant amount through commission. They station you at one store for two weeks and you are responsible for driving there. They tell you they will pay for your gas mileage but what they don’t tell you up front is they will only do this if you are going straight from the office to the store. I was stationed in Lawton for two weeks and only drove their straight from the office twice because all of my other shifts were closing shifts. So, I spent more money in those two weeks on gas than I made. This place is definitely not worth your time. They will say whatever they need to get you in. I knew it was fishy from the start and only took this job as a way to get out of my previous one.

Pros

Paid internship and offers college credit

Cons

Events ByKeko is a multi-level marketing scheme. Before working I saw previous reviews but they seemed unhelpful. They did not scam me out of money but they did scam my time. I knew by the 1st day that this business was not legit let alone a marketing company. I was hired as an intern and when I started, I was doing what the full time workers were doing but getting paid 50% less. When you start, you will learn their systems. Their systems pretty much teach you how to persuade people into buying the products, like how to talk, walk and wave in a certain way. You would learn them, come back the next day and re-teach word for word, if you couldn't, you failed and would have to try again the next day. They promote high energy at all times that makes their office culture is very interesting. For example, I was told if I yawned I would get in trouble and that the office has no chairs so we can have high energy. When you learn a certain amount of systems you go to what they call an "event". What you do at the "event" is stand at a SAMS club and sell bedsheets. Luckily, I knew what this company was doing so I quit, I saw quite a few red flags but wrote the most important ones in this review. Although what they do is considered legal, Events ByKeko is a company I would not want on my resume.
