Hardly legal "marketing" - Recensione dipendente - Sales Account Executive presso Be Interactive

Mostly a nice group of people

It seems like a great environment to work in at first, everyone is hyping each other up however you spend your day getting trains/buses to all parts of Sydney, could be 2 hours from the city. You then have to go up to people and harass them for raffle tickets all day, to hit certain targets per day. If you don’t harass enough people , you don’t get enough money to take home. You could finish at 5pm but if you haven’t hit your target, some people would stay on to 7:30-8pm just to hit a target they barely get to see any return on. You then make your own way home which could be another 2 hours. They also guilt you into working weekends, as you need to hit a “target” which is just their target. The staff turn over is incredibly high and it’s so obvious the reason why. The only ones who benefit in the slightest are those who plan to stay long term who will eventually get an office role . I couldn’t sacrifice my whole life, 12 hour days and Saturdays for such a low wage. It felt so wrong approaching people. It seems like you’re selling a scam and it’s hard to believe it in. Also we would be encouraged not to knock when entering premises and would often get met with angry people which is completely fair which made me feel very uncomfortable. They seem to hire a lot of 19/20 year olds.

There is no pros sadly

This company is a rought and is only there to take your earnings and hard work. They don’t specify what they want you doing and the job description during hiring process or interviews because it’s illegal. They surprise you on your first day with a location in Sydney where you walk the streets and dangerous industrial areas walking up to strangers and offices pleading them to buy raffle tickets and donations to a kids charity that dont even get the donations. The CEO makes more money of the tickets your selling than the actual charity itself. Then they pay you quarter of what you earn (barely to survive on). They then promote you within 2 weeks to a leader so you don’t leave and get to comfortable in the job. They also tell you that you don’t have to work weekends when really they guilt trip you into working Saturdays so you can reach your ‘targets’ and earn more money for yourself, when really it’s just to get themselves more money. I’m glad I had the courage to leave before I got sucked in to an office as fake as this.
