pay, hours and experience overall is just horrible. they do not pay hourly so they keep you for many more hours than you agree to. you also don't even get paid the first week (which is a minimum of 60 hours, unpaid). the people there are homophobic, transphobic, very discriminating and obnoxious. this is not somewhere you want to work, it's a multilevel marketing SCAM. the same "account executive" job is listed a dozen times with different names on all the job finding websites. they often call it "customer service associate", "marketing coordinator", "sales initiator" or "sales representative", but they all mean account executive. this is deception from square 1. there's literally only one job for new recruits in this "company". they accept every applicant and don't even look at your resume until the day of the "first interview". there are three interviews for the position, which everyone passes. during the first week, your trainer asks you to take out your phone and write a 5-star review here on Glassdoor for the company. they watch as you write the review and laugh it off when you ask why you have to write them a review. after you write it, they screenshot the review confirmation and send it to their boss. even when when you're being told about the company, they claim that you're the lucky 1 out of 2000 applicants who got accepted this week, which is hysterical. they build your ego as well as your perception of the company's imaginary value so it's harder for you to want to quit. soon, you realize that this is almost slavery. the trainers and CEO are deceptive and treat the workers like idiots. often times, i've even heard them laughing at workers and strangers alike, making very rude comments and obscene jokes. one of the senior trainers even said that she could train a monkey off the street, which is just disgusting behavior and devalues the workers entirely. one of the assistant managers and the CEO are full of themselves and encourage disrespectful behavior. we don't even have our own office, we share with a similar "company". there's no bathroom either which is expected. every morning, there's unnecessarily loud music playing on a small radio in the corner of the room as an attempt to create a positive atmosphere to get these money-makers pumped about wasting their whole day doing things they didn't sign up for. the office is always super crowded and unprofessional. here's what you do for the actual job: every morning, you practice your scripts and train in the office. then, you have annoying, cringey meetings which are supposed to motivate you. finally, you take the train with a group of people to a certain train station and then spend 7-9 hours nonstop going around in circles trying to stop as many people as you can to try and get them to buy whatever it is you're selling, simultaneously kissing everyone's butt. out of the hundreds of people you try to stop, you'll be lucky if you can get 2 to buy the product. the advertised hours for the position are 9am-6pm, but it ends up being 8am-8/9pm. i've seen their true colors and they are overall rude and obnoxious people, talking about you behind your back and only after the money you can make for them. they don't tell you this, but although they advertise free lunch (which, by the way, is their ONLY benefit), you pay for your own lunch everyday and you also have to buy an unlimited metrocard. everything is out of pocket, so you end up spending more than you make. this team of crooks is conceited, highly unprofessional and sketchy. they use the workers for money and want to get as much use out of them as possible. this is not a real company, it's a scam.
