Former Employee – worked at Creative Channel Services full-time for more than 7 years

ProsOverall this was a great place to work. Client could be difficult, but that is why they're successful.

ConsLose a big client and lose a lot of great people. It's unfortunate, you feel after years and years the company is a career, not just a stop.

Current Employee – been working at Creative Channel Services part-time for less than a year

ProsYou work from your home and the bosses are far away.

ConsThe compensation is based on activations per hour and very few attain it. No marketing materials supplied. No realistic training is provided. Bosses are great at giving hollow promises and want more work that if you clocked in for affects the highly unattainable sales commission.

Advice to Senior ManagementHelp your people make sales. Stop berating them like children. Give employees the marketing tools needed to make sales.

ProsWonderful co-workers. These are some of the best people I have ever worked with.

ConsSenior management has grand ideals and relentlessly spouts off about their vision and values, but yet they do not uphold their own ideals through their actions.

Advice to Senior ManagementIt is difficult to change inherent core values and talking about it more is not going to make that happen. It needs to be a fundamental shift from the top in action, not words.

Current Employee – been working at Creative Channel Services

Prosthis is a company that really knows how to take care of its people. the leadership team has developed a great culture. I'm very fortunate to be here, especially in this economy.

ConsSometimes we focus too much on growth, which can be hard on people. We feel recognized, but that doesn't mean it's not hard.

Advice to Senior ManagementMake sure that we stop to smell the roses a bit more. We are doing really good work and sometimes we need to pause to reflect on what we've achieved.

Current Employee – been working at Creative Channel Services part-time for more than a year

ProsAs a freelancer in an economy that has drastically lowered my income, this is a way to add a few dollars and improve my sales skills. Management is fairly responsive and provides excellent training materials.

ConsWhile the hourly pay seems adequate, the company as a matter of policy, does not pay gas mileage or for travel time. This can drastically reduce the effective hourly rate as well as put considerable miles on your car. While there is good flexibility for scheduling dates, there is none for the hourly shifts.

Advice to Senior ManagementPay the rep for travel time and gas. Negotiate with the client for more flexibility in hours and schedule.

Former Employee – worked at Creative Channel Services

ProsBetter pay
Better training
More reliability
Work for you to get more hours
Timely feedback
Timely response from managers
Obvious passion for workplace
If looking for part time weekend work then work with CCS

ConsPeriodic breaks in program
No opportunity for advancement
Little in rewards from 1st party company
Can sometimes get hung out to dry if store is out of product

Advice to Senior ManagementTry to combine programs so that the break periods for programs can be off set by someother type of work. Other than that a great place to work and much much better in all aspects than any other point of sale company.

Former Employee – worked at Creative Channel Services

ProsThe company and management are very flexible, offer great benefits since they are a part of Omnicom, and have an amazing culture at the office and remotely. This company is great for outgoing and self-motivated people.

ConsI felt more part of the client company than CCS at times. They also did not offer much chances for advancement.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet more remote employees involved in company matters.
