Pros

- Good only if you want to do sales in person and "cold call" customers

Cons

- They pretend they need a marketing assistant when really, it's a sales position - You don't even work for the company; you're a contractor for other sales companies, such as Xfinity or AT&T - Pay is not consistent; sometimes they "forget" to pay you - You need to have a personal vehicle to drive all over the bay for these sales locations - They're shady and do not let you know what your base salary is and the pay check fluctuates heavily based on commission

It sounds like you were involved at entry level in a Brand Ambassador or customer service position. Our marketing is not by definition cold calling, as it involves consumers coming to us at events and retail activation programs. Also every member of our team is contracted to Berkeley Executives. We are merely outsourced by clients as is the nature of being a marketing company. Admittedly face to face Brand Ambassador work is not for everyone and we apologize if you did not find the position a match. Only the minority of our team actually use their own vehicles, and we have compensation for this. I feel like there has likely been a breakdown in communication somewhere here and if you contact us on admin@berkeleyexecutives.com we will attempt to remedy it. In fact our ex brand ambassadors will testify that we are more than generous with our face to face teams.

Pros

Employees are focused Everyone that works here has a positive outlook on things and gives lots of support Full training Good networking opportunities A lot of diversity Working here has made me have second thoughts about the way I live my life. I've become more organized, punctual, personable, and open to new things.

Cons

In my opinion, there really aren't any cons about the company that are noteworthy enough to include in this. Some people might not like the fact that you get out of it what you put into it, but that's part of what made me better.

Pros

Opportunity to travel. I've been able to work in many places throughout the US and want to go even further when we expand internationally. No Stagnation, an abundance of growth opportunities. There's never a dull moment. It's a fast paced environment full of hard working individuals looking to achieve their goals. The working environment is extraordinarily diverse. I love that we don't have a particular type of person that fits in-- everyone can.

Cons

The challenges are that you have to really put in the effort to succeed. You cannot take any shortcuts and have a day of laziness.
