Pros

You aren’t jobless. That is truly the only perk. I would make more money and have more time if I was waiting tables.

Cons

They pant a picture of a job that is nothing like what you will be doing. You will be going into Sam’s Clubs and Coscos selling Direct TV and now cell phones. They are professionally unprofessional. Have no organization. My first day I filled out my paperwork in a small break room while they all scrambled in a binder trying to fill out their time sheet which was very unorganized. The job they ask you to do is bombard customers who are simply grocery shopping and try and sell them Direct TV. If this was what they described to you originally that would be fine because you wouldn’t feel misled. But they don’t tell you that until after the fact.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that our culture was not what you were expecting. We ensure throughout the interview process that the roles of the position are explained. We do have an open door policy so if there was any sort of confusion the company or the role it should have been brought to our attention. However, it may be hard to really grasp the culture, professionalism and organization of our office after only 1 day of employment. We hope you find a company that fits what you are looking for. HR

Pros

Can do attitudes everywhere. Everyone is super positive and encouraging. It’s like a huge team and I love the competitiveness.

Cons

The training is really fast but I was able to keep up. More meetings with clients would also be good.

Pros

There are three major things that have made me grow to love working at NorSpark: team culture, travel, and personal development. 1) If you have sports minded attitude with a passion for growth and competition NorSpark is the place for you. From the second I walked in the door it was clear to me that everyone at NorSpark was a team; every individual is there to help you achieve your goals both in and out of the office. 2) I also love the fact that there are plenty of travel opportunities available. I have been to every corner of the country for work and the best part is that I got paid to do it. 3) I originally applied to NorSpark with the hope gaining management and marketing experience to develop my career and I got more than I could have ever asked for. NorSpark’s model rewards based on merit, not seniority, which gave me a chance to prove myself as a recent college graduate. Shortly after being hired I was promoted and began to build a team, transitioning from a marketing to a management role. I cannot stress enough that if you know what you want out of a career and are willing to work for it NorSpark will help you get what you want.

Cons

The flip side to NorSpark's merit based system is that you will need to get outside of what you're comfortable with often. Morning meetings are very high energy, and you will have to speak in front of people regularly.
