Vantaggi

Nothing positive about this role. This company will suck you dry of money and micromanage you to severe depression. You'll have nightmares about "booking sessions" where they force you to call people that have no business being clients at all! They'll text/email/call you every hour to check in and threaten you with termination or probation every week. It's the most insane sales cycle. It's a pyramid scheme unfortunately.

Svantaggi

As a W2 outfitter, you get paid about 19.00/ hour to use your own personal phone & # to call every one of your own personal contacts on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc. You get two days of training to learn how to measure, alter, deliver, sell, use Salesforce, etc. The contract claims "100 % commissionable revenue" but is a lie. They make you sell 23,000.00 worth of clothing for a measly 500.00 check, which ends up being negative -500.00 because this company charges their outfitters/advisors/stylists to pay for client shipping! They harass you to beg clients for referrals and really abuse both the clientele & sales team not to mention the support staff. You are severely micromanaged to the point of calling the suicide hotline. You leave this job feeling exhausted, overworked and underpaid. Every day I wake up I cry and beg God to not let me have to do this job. I'm trying to find another job but this job requires every ounce of energy and hour of your day. They force you to memorize 100 of scripts for each call or email you make. They have no tolerance for autonomy or intelligence. They hire under qualified people to sell only so they can treat them like slaves. If your client wants to get something altered or returned they force you to pay for a shipping label and also you as an outfitter are responsible for covering shipping costs. They only highlight their founder/master outfitters-who by the way get all the leads from the W2 people, they brag about driving Porsches and make 1/3 of what they sell. They're all crazed and manipulative. Your manager will demand that you record minimum 60 calls a day in addition to multiple appointments and then forces you to pay for networking Events that you don't get reimbursed for. The sales managers have no sales experience or product knowledge and just like to micromanage you to the point of tears and frustration. They will also brag about their 6 figure salary while you are living off minimum wage, scraping to get by. If you ask them to back off-they make you sign an agreement that you'll only communicate with clients exactly how they want you to. They beg you to harass your own family and ex boyfriends to buy Trumaker clothes. They don't care if your depressed or stressed as a result of the job, they just want to burn you out and deplete you of your personal network so they can build their client base. Your forced to work on Saturdays and Sundays and talked badly about by executives on company calls If you're not selling as much as outfitters from years ago. The founder/master outfitters have no sales experience and hire assistants that do all the work for them. You get no vacation and if you ask for it-they fire you. They don't care about work/life balance and they have not lives either and brag about that. It's all in all led me to be severely depressed and this is the same for 4 OTHER people too.

Thank you for posting your feelings and thoughts about the role. I wanted to offer my response as the founder and CEO. Words like this are hard to read, especially since we’ve only strived to build a great business over the last five years - one that provides a great value to customers and also a fulfilling experience to the people who work at Trumaker. Reading this review, I can’t help but be disappointed that you feel this way and have had such a poor experience with us. We work hard to make this not the case, and I’ve personally spoken with every employee over these past months to get direct feedback on what we are doing right and what needs improvement. And we look hard at how we are communicating the roles within our company, so that we are hiring people who will enjoy and succeed in their roles. Over this past year, we’ve transitioned the Outfitter role from a full-commission one to a fully employed role with a base salary, performance bonuses, and benefits. As a sales role, we do expect our outfitters to build a book of clients; though existing clients and company leads provided, as well as through their own networking efforts. In fact, we look to clearly communicate this so that we hire candidates who will be successful in the role. Something of great concern is your point about how a female outfitter is encouraged to portray herself to clients unprofessionally. From day one we’ve been passionate about our Outfitters being respected as professionals for the value they provide to clients. It’s absolutely unacceptable that you were coached differently, and I apologize that this occurred. We have since done a review of the matter and feel that we’ve rectified the issue. As a company primarily made up of women, (including half our executive team) mutual respect matters to us - a lot. Again, I care about your experience, and even though you’ve chosen to move on, my line is open to talk more or be helpful in anyway I can. Feel free to email me at (mark@trumaker.com) anytime.
