MarketSource Employee Reviews about "part time"

Pros

It’s an awesome place to work! Commission and hourly checks every week

Cons

It’s only a part time opportunity at the moment

Pros

Flexible work schedule nothing else.

Cons

I work full-time hours, No weekends or holidays off. My DM has me listed as part-time even though HR said they have me listed as full-time so I'm not getting my PTO or holiday pay. For the amout of work I do they pay is crappy when they pay people that been at the company a year lease than I have 4-5 dollars more. I never have the right stock. Target management treats us like crap and expects us to do their... employees jobs or cover their electronic department.

Advice to Management

Pleae list your employees properly so they can receive their benefits. Your employees work like dogs for crap pay and if they get sick they have to come to work anyway because if they don't they don't get paid at all.... the moral at the company sucks...all you do is push sales and more sales...

Pros

Decent Part Time work. Fairly, simple if you are comfortable with holding a conversation with people. Alright pay for part-time.

Cons

Basic Cons for a customer service position, sometimes you get some unruly or angry customers, but other than that not too many other issues. No benefits, because part-time.

Pros

Pays decently, gain experience as a salesman. District manager is a great teacher, helps you learn how to become the best salesman you can be, and how to approach customers to help them find the product they need.

Cons

I signed up to work as a part time employee (20 hours or less) my lead kept calling off, so I had to keep filling in. Eventually, for two months, I had to work full time 40 hours which was WAY above the amount of hours I signed up for because I was taking summer college classes. Despite constantly trying to tell my lead that I cannot do 40 hours, I kept on getting assigned it every week for two months. Another... downside to working 40 hours as a “part time employee” is the fact that I still got paid as a part time employee rate per hour, rather than the full time rate. I liked working for the company until, but the supervisors not hearing me out on my school situation was unprofessional and was a huge turn off for me. End state, it was apparent management at mid and upper levels did not care about your personal life, all they cared about was someone being on the floor to get the job done and get sales going.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees. Other than that, upper management levels are great.

Pros

Good sales people will find success easily here.

Cons

More part time opportunities than full time opportunities

Pros

Had great manager. I love cell phones, so seeing new ones was fun. Discount on a phone plan.

Cons

Low hours,low pay, district managers suck,the amount of expectations is too high for the unlivable wage. No opportunity to grow. Low communication, high turnover rate for part time people, some customers are ridiculous, Target relationships sometimes aren't the best, they won't terminate horrible employees very often, low commission pay. Good luck paying for the benefits they offer, because your hours... arent guaranteed! Seriously, avoid the middleman and go to a carrier store,you'd be better off.

Advice to Management

Hire LESS people if you dont need them. Increase wages for those who are there and productive. Don't have small locations in semi rural areas, communication is important so improve that,give FAIR hours. 25-30/week is part time. Anything less is NOT A JOB. Make it LESS competitive, we are humans just like you,not dogs who need to beg for hours. Perhaps offer events so employees can mingle and meet each other... and increase relationships & communication within the company. Fire district officials who dont communicate with their employees, and also, maybe set a limit on how many stores they manage. That would increase communication between district management and team leads& team members.

Pros

-Great scheduling, very flexible. I have the ability to switch days. -Part-time is a plus for me. -Commission with base pay. -Working with cell phones and technology! -Reimbursed cell phone service.

Cons

-little room for raises or advancement (can get terminated if wages are mentioned). -I've been promised a performance review, but I have never seen one. I'm sort of badgering management to get higher pay, which I should get because I am extremely knowledgeable about the program and the products I sell on a daily basis. They hire new reps off the street with higher pay than me. sort of ridiculous. Keep in mind that... I regularly hit quota as well. - If you succeed in the role, they will only expect more from you to the point you're expected to be pushing 20+ boxes out the door on a single day. - Working within Walmart means dealing with regular Walmart clientele. Yuck.

Advice to Management

Should be more transparent in wages and payroll. Stop dragging your feet to raise pay based on experience.

Pros

Great management Flexible schedule Major holidays off(unpaid) Commission bonus

Cons

No room for growth Strictly part time Working in walmart

Advice to Management

Maybe try doing full time hours
