Vantaggi

The other employees are very friendly, it's difficult to get fired since they have a high turnover rate, and you can make a small amount of cash fast since you get cash commission each day.

Svantaggi

-false advertising of company: not pr or marketing, it's sales. And there are no guaranteed wages, it's commission only -false advertising of product: may need to intentionally mislead customer to make the sale -long hours and low pay: at least 10 hrs/day, 6 days/week. Often runs late. Make around $40-$50 on an average "good" day, but that's only $4-$5 per hour. -potential health risks and no benefits: walk from business to business all day every day in sun or snow. Often walk into unknown buildings or areas alone. Carry heavy product bag. Encouraged to take 15 minute lunch/break only.

Vantaggi

There is room for growth, great pay and upbeat atmosphere. I would stay here until I could retire. They have made me feel like I've worked here for years and we are more like a family than anything.

Svantaggi

Honestly, I have no complaints. I've worked at previous positions before and nothing has ever quite made me feel as happy as The Local Group does. I enjoy going in everyday and seeing the people I work with!

Vantaggi

You obtain cash commission each day and it is incredibly hard to get fired since their turnover rate is extremely high.

Svantaggi

The Local Group hires under false pretenses. Advertising potential jobs as "marketing" or "event planning" when really, it is JUST business to business sales. Not to mention, there is no promised salary. You recieve daily commission based off your performance for the day. They claim if you "do your job" you will go home with upwards of $90/ day. However, you are selling D-list cosmetics, and forcing yourself to LIE to the consumer to make the sale. And the hours in which you are working are upwards 9-12 hours, including weekends. You're expected to not return to the office until youve sold X-amount of cosmetics and low-end flat irons. If you have not, you are expected to POACH unsuspecting consumers in store parking lots. You are driving to businesses across northern ohio every single day. Forcing you to put mileage and wear on your car. And you're expected to walk to and from businesses on your own, in snow, rain, or shine. Often, if you're unaware of the neighborhood, putting you into uncomfortable or dangerous situations. With no benefits to be seen.
