Garbage - Account Executive WAVE Employee Review

Great atmosphere and opportunity to learn

Long hours And hard work but rewarding

Upbeat, diverse staff. Friendly company culture, though not for everyone. If you like fraternities, the culture is very similar to one. You get to dress up every day for work. The script they give you is simple and easy to memorize. Not super laborious. Can teach you valuable skills to become an effective salesperson.

Long hours for very little pay. Structured as $60 per day you work (can range from 8-hour to 10-hour days depending on where they tell you to go) with a chance at $40 commission per closed sale. You are selling Comcast subscriptions in Walmarts and Best Buys to consumers. Sometimes you go as far as West Virginia to stand in the electronics aisle to pitch sales. The job can be very boring with long hours of standing up. You have to drive your own car (and at times you'll be driven) to set locations to set up. You are not compensated for wear and tear, but you are compensated for gas. Also has a relatively high turnover rate for good reason.
