J&L Marketing Reviews

Pros

- Allows all employees to pitch ideas to be implemented - Great Hours - Fun environment

Cons

- there is not any

Advice to Management

keep it up!

Pros

I have had some great experiences and have made many networking connections

Cons

sometimes long commute. You can be driving for up to 3 hours to get to specific events

Pros

What I like most about working at J&L compared to other agencies I've worked at is that there is minimal micro-management. You have ample independence to work on projects and collaborate with management on ideas. I've developed new skills and made lots of friends. Solid benefits and vacation/personal time. There is also a good amount of office events throughout the year which keeps the environment fun and upbeat.

Cons

Hours can be long, client deadlines and last minute changes add pressure. But such is agency life.

Pros

Potential to connect with people within the industry. Can come and go as you leave because the only managers are semi-retired across country.

Cons

The Owner is an immature ticking time bomb that goes off weekly firing, & chasing away the only talent in the building. Yes... Has been successful but he personally ran off the people's coat tails he's been riding for over a decade. Products are utter garbage and provide no value you to anyone with an education or automotive marketing experience.

Advice to Management

No advice on this planet could possible help except for.. Don't reply to this and put blame on me (which you always do to reviews). Take responsibility and stop blaming others or just close the doors.

Pros

Scheduling is flexible and the job helps develop skills, such as public speaking, customer & employee relationships, populating dashboards, conducting surveys, effective communication, and becoming familiar with sales event statistics.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that sometimes the dashboard does not consistently run correctly, so you can't do things electronically, but you can still do your job the old-fashioned paper way.

Pros

Fun environment and good management

Cons

I do not have any cons working here

Pros

The employees are very nice.

Cons

It’s a revolving door because once you realize how ridiculous the environment is, everyone leaves. “ It’s not just because of sales.” The sales jobs are awful because you predominantly cold call. Then cold call for a product that no one wants or “the customer doesn’t know they want / need it.” For a Marketing Company, you would think they tactics would be more advanced. Great products can create their own demand.

Advice to Management

The managers are just trying to keep up with the emotional and self centered owner. Hard to have compassion about producing when the owner complains about “declining business/coming out of his pocket,” when he goes on vacation every other minute and/or spends $100-200 for a pedicure. Show off your money a little less and people might respect you more. Stop trying to brain wash everyone than the high turnover is normal....

Pros

It's a great place to learn how to sell. This job is made for people who love sales and want to make it a career. J&L is a leader in the industry and is well known by most car dealers. The job is more difficult than any other I have held, it is also the most rewarding! This is the best company I've ever worked for. It's fun, challenging and good sales people make a lot of money.

Cons

Keeping up with new products and improvements.

Advice to Management

Don't try to take on too much at one time.
