      Pyramid scheme, extremly deceitful

      Pros

      None. Run far, far away

      Cons

      They will make you stand in the parking lot and beg people for money. They will also tell you to lie and say 100 percent of donations go to charities. They don’t. Everyone’s pay check is the donation money. They also brag about expensive leashre trips you get to take with the company. Guess how those trips are paid for. Yeah, I don’t know how these people sleep at night.

      We are sorry you felt this way about our experience. I am not sure if you have been employed with us or not but if you were then you would have known how we exclusively work with our charities. Before we hire anyone, we have to make sure one has the general knowledge of how non profit organizations and/or 501 (C)3’s partner with for profit organizations. And in the first week of training you learn how the donations proceedings goes. So if you want to contact us or if anyone reading this want to know, we are not hiding anything when it comes to how the donations are being used. And “everyone’s pay check is the donation money” if you felt like this was true and you were an employee... we have not gotten anyone rejecting any pay compensations from us prior this review.

      Get Far Away from these Impostors!

      Pros

      Initially I thought of a couple of pros , but then realized that after my terrible experience, there really is nothing positive I can say. The mentorship and training they do and make you believe in, have proven to be disheartening and dishonest because Everything they say is a direct opposite of their actions.

      Cons

      There are so many to list, I cannot say them all!! If there was an option to mark it a (0) rating, I’d choose that. You cannot trust that this company has good business practices. Management doesn’t respond to emails, messages or even texts when you are reporting or clarifying some problems. In my 30+ years of working professionally, I have never had a bad experience anywhere close to how this company was. This was a first for me. Don’t make it a first for you too. And to think they are representing non-profit companies that rely on them to build trust with the communities? What a joke! Really sad how they are hypocrites to what they try to project.

      Pros

      You will learn management skills and how to run a business

      Cons

      Pyramid game (giving money back to work- basically your paycheck will go back into gas, mileage, this job will eat your money) Full time from 8 am until 7pm no time for yourself so be prepared THEY PLAY FAVORITES (If you’re not doing well , they will call you out and throw you behind the bus and give credit to those who are doing well. Most of the people there will be jealous of you if you’re doing so much better than they are. Takes awhile to move up “your time” Commission based - if you have a bad week then imagine how much you’ll be paid (worry every week about how much you have to work) Need to have a GREAT MENTALITY TO WORK HERE WITH LOTS OF PATIENCE. People who work there talks major things about you to bring you down behind your back just so they look better.

      We are truly sorry for how you feel about experience with us. You said it yourself “Need to have GREAT MENTALITY TO WORK HERE WITH LOTS OF PATIENCE”. What you put it in is what you put out. It doesn’t take a while to move up “your time” if you’re work ethic is A plus. Since this review we have grown and promoted over 40+ people starting in entry level phase. We are sorry if you felt like there were favorites. We have an OPEN DOOR policy at Golden State Events, and we provide the help to the ones who constantly asks the questions. Management here gives 120% to those who gives 100% . It’s not fair to others who are putting in less work to others who are not 100%. If there are any other concerns you had that you didn’t get to reach management to please contact us because we don’t want anyone to feel the way you felt and we want to make sure we learn from our mistakes Hr@goldenstateevents.org
