Pros

Great opportunities for new grads looking to get some experience.

Cons

Ads are extremely misleading and in some cases, downright lies. There could be multiple ads but all for the same thing. Job Window does the recruiting for Smart Circle so if you're in the states, you'll probably end up as a sales person standing in front of a supermarket trying to sell coupons. Company overall has an extremely high turnover rate so I'd be cautious about that.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. While we do place a lot of ads for multiple clients across the US & Canada, each ad placed is for a specific job vacancy. Our clients range from marketing and sales companies to administration and finance firms so the types of jobs being made available through our site will change on a day to day basis as our client base & their job openings change. We assure you that no one working for The Job Window is standing in front of a supermarket. As well, with changes to our business model and company culture, we’re very happy to say our turnover rate has fallen drastically with 62% of our existing staff members having worked for us between 2-3 years. We believe that working for The Job Window is a great opportunity. Thanks again for sharing.

Pros

The atmosphere of the company was great. Upper management was very friendly and highly motivational.

Cons

Where do I start? The hours aren't desirable 8:45-7 M-Sat. The pay was appealing in the interview, but once you begin working you actually make about half than what they make it seem you will earn, on top of that it took three weeks to see a fairly decent pay check. Once you factor in travel time into your check, you're basically getting paid minimum wage. I made more money as a part time sales associate. Overall the company seems like a good place to work for initially, but its just a facade.

We don't work on Saturdays at Job Window. You must be talking about a job you found through one of our ads. It is unfortunate you had a negative experience.
