Pros
A job opportunity for those with little to no experience, or high school students looking for an allowance. Aside from the dishonest CEO, coworkers are friendly and supportive.
Cons
My background is a B2C and B2B sales manager. To attract talent, the management and administration at MaRo make bold promises which do not reflect the full nature of the job. When management is approached regarding job issues, management's reaction is to place blame on you. The job is a door-to-door marketing job selling charity to homeowners at minimum wage, with minor fluctuations based on performance. Work hours are 2pm-9:30pm During my application process the following true statements were made, with important information missing. Here's what they don't tell you until you start: Job ad - States $20 wage on Indeed, up to $21 on other job search engines. it's actually a minimum wage job with potential for small raises based on sales record. Commissioned sales jobs can pay much more in similar work conditions. Email - Stated non-sales job with no commissions. You're not "selling" since it's charity, although the process is identical to that of door-to-door sales. When asked if we will be interacting with businesses - management answered yes, we sell both to businesses and residents. In reality we are neither trained on approaching businesses nor are we encouraged to do so. Mentioned at interview that we will sit at tables speaking to clients - in reality, tabling events are rare to none. Stated opportunities for growth - Takes at minimum a few months to obtain promotion.
