This "marketing firm" is a scam. Please, If you get an email or phone call saying "we have entry level marketing positions!" and "Great opportunity for growth!" "Can and will lead to management" "Non-profit" These are all lies. These people will promise you the world and give you nothing. Sure, you may be a hard worker, and sure you may make "the pace" and then some but you only get 35% of that which will later either be poured into your gas tank, the stuff that people buy for the "organization" (such as the t-shirts and bags just so you can make pace so your boss doesnt bite your head off), or supplies you need for "the field " (baby wipes for fingerprinting, tablecloths for your table, food). And if you go on a road trip... Dont expect them to pay for a meal. All you can expect is they will shove 5 of you in one room, in a shabby motel not hotel... And they WILL NOT re-emburse your gas or your food... And let me tell you, when you go to "the event" If you like standing outside in the elements for 8 hours at a time, potentially in a bad neighborhood alone and sometimes having to guard the money you make with your life sure, go for it. You have to pull at people's heart strings and LIE to them. I did not stutter... You must lie to get money. There's more morals in dancing on tables. The charity is a scheme... So don't let your manager tell you oh yeah i give so much to the charity... Please. Hold yourself accountable and walk away. Did you ever notice that more times than not the manger lives in a house with a few other people from the office? Why do you think that is? They will tell you, well I am saving money to keep the costs down so I can invest in the next person to get their office... Because they earned it. Sure they did... They lied to thousands of people, did your bidding and threw their lives away...
Please, if you see anything like this turn the other way and run. Dont let Their "atmosphere" and "juice" and "negging out" nonsense convince you otherwise. It is a money scam, and thats all it is. These people have been trained to do what they do, say what they say. They have an answer for everything. This is a group of people who manipulate the young workforce and thrive off of naivety and innocence. Of course people want to be their own boss and make a lot of money but in relaity, unless you win the lottery you dont end up making the big bucks until you have worked for it and served you time. And no employees i dont mean standing out in the field for 4-7 months...
People, if you go thru with this you will throw your life away.in certain cases these people will relocate you so that you are not near your family and friends. So you cant be talked out of it. You'll see if you do a "Day of Observation" (you have to go out on an interview and you will see what we had to do all day everyday. And mind you, you DO NOT GET PAID) And we did not get paid for the 4 hours that we worked back at the office... No of course not. This company is getting away legally by the skin of their teeth, but so little that they need to change their names every so often... Legacy Events in Marlton New Jersey used to Daikos Marketing... Same address, same company, different name.
Sorry Quantum but you have a f*ed up way of doing business. I know this blog wont change your ways but it may save someone's work life. Walk away, you can make better money selling something worth while than a bunch of crap on a table outside of walmart to people who feel bad for a cause that does not exist.
