Pros

An okay entry level sales job if you want to work allot of hours for minimal pay.

Cons

They are very shady. They advertise a high "base salary" but it is really just ten dollars an hour X the mandatory 48 hours in which you are scheduled every week. Your only day off is Wednesday. You are scheduled 6 days a week. They don't tell you this at first, but your job is to sell DIRECTV service inside of a big box store such as Sams Club. They promise that in a few weeks, you will be promoted to management which is not true. You allegedly get paid $140 for each sale. But the first three sales of each week go towards "office expenses" so there really is no base salary. They take it from your sales IF you get any.

I sincerely apologize you seem to have a few things mistaken. Allow me to clarify, we do compensate hourly which is based on employment experience and the value they bring to the work place. We have many employees current and old that started well above $10/ hr. We also have employees with all sorts of backgrounds that are taken into consideration. If you were offered $10/ hr that is what management felt was suitable for you based on their evaluation, which by the way is negotiable if you disagree . I personally started at $15 per hour and now make $22.50 per hour plus bonuses but have been with the company for 2 years and have proven my value! In regards to us having "no base" that isn't true, there isn't one employee of Explosive Advertising that does not receive an hourly wage and guaranteed paycheck regardless of their sales performance. At Explosive we do have expectations and standards as most successful companies do. If you are hired for a sales position there is an expectation to do a least three sales in a week to qualify for commissions and bonuses.(IN ADDITION to the hourly base) Again hourly is guaranteed, the first three sales has nothing to do with office expenses, this policy simply is put in place to ensure we are performing at a respectable level for our clients satisfaction. Lastly, In regards to the opportunity negativity spreads quickly and positivity spreads slowly. We are not selling a dream. This year alone we have promoted FIVE team members to Branch Manager where they now supervise and run their own office, and everyone of those manager were willing to learn from the ground up!

Pros

I've had the opportunity of working for Explosive advertising back in 2012. I must say that it is true that first impression last. The interview process was easy and made simple. Everything that was presented to us were expressed with clarity. Even though my time there was short spent, I must say that the possibilities for growth is real and even though the job comes with challenges, these challenges only drives you harder towards your goals. There are endless possibilities and opportunities, you only need to out in the work. As they say, "you get out what you put in." What I love was the vast amount of knowledge that the boss (Melvin Jackson) and his team as. Our training did not just prepare us for this particular job but aids in improving different areas of our lives, it promotes the "change your mind, change your life" philosophy. Because of all that I learned while at the company I was able to move on and start up a company of my own, much smaller with a smaller team but we are growing and are becoming a powerful force in the business market and our community. Much thanks to the Explosive Advertising family. I desire to reunite with you guys soon. Continue to press forward and grow even bigger.

Cons

The only challenge I faced was commuting back and forth from home to the office since I lived a great distance but it was well worth it
