MarketSource Employee Reviews about "part time"

Cons

Very difficult to transition from part time opportunities within the company to full time or management level jobs. I was the top performer within my district and it was still very difficult to move up within the company.

Cons

The longevity is short (once the contract for the position ends) They're not very aggressive in keeping good employees. Those who work part time- go elsewhere. I did not witness a very fair work environment for the part time salespeople

Cons

Pay sucks for what you do and zero raises. EVERY weekend and EVERY holiday you’re required to work with no holiday pay compensation. All employees are considered part time but all Team Leads work 36-40 hours per week. EEL position only one that gets PTO and they won’t pay out what’s left if you quit. Ever changing commissions make it impossible to make any extra money and the structure is complete garbage. No bereavement pay because you’re considered part time. I have almost nothing positive to say. No room to grow within the company.

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth in some programs Some managers/supervisors can be frustrating to deal with

Cons

Terrible activation system Slow or no restocking of products Excessively high turnover, even for retail Disorganized company Target doesn't know what you do Complicated commission structure No useful benefits for full time or part time

Cons

Not many hours if part time.

Cons

Had a poor relationship with other staff at the store location Was forced to 'quit' because I could not commute to the other location for part time pay

Cons

This company treats their employees like garbage, doesn't pay mileage and doesn't care how much you have to drive. This is specific to part time employees which are most of their jobs. I worked for both Tmobile and hp via Marketsource. They will randomly give you 1-5 hour long shifts an hour away and expect you to go last minute and not pay you mileage when you gotta go to 3 locations in one day. I also had a nightmare experience when I switched from Tmobile to hp. They did not increase my pay and they did not make it easy to access my paystub online. I tried for months to see it. Finally saw it and knew they were paying $4/hr LESS than what they were supposed to be paying me. Took them over a month to fix the error. And I was just supposed to shut up and be thankful when I finally got the backpay. Being a vendor is a semi pointless and still stressful job becaus you have multiple bosses. You have your Marketsource manager, and then you have every single manager from every retail location you visit. This sucks so much. Especially if you vendor in a Walmart. Management at walmarts regularly kick out vendors over nothing. My last manager would lie to me and play mind games about how certain issues needed to be handled, and she spoke to me like a inhuman rehersed robotic with zero sympathy. If I had to leave early due to a medical emergency once then I would be threatened with a 'coaching opportunity'. They treat part time employees like expendable slaves who better constantly worry about losing their job over the smallest thing. They will threaten to take away your very small quarterly bonus if you don't meet all their ridiculous quotas. And they will have big contests to get you to make more sales, but the contests are horribly unbalanced so the same 5 busiest stores will win thousands of $ in contests literally every week during the busy seasons. Making the lower traffic store reps feel hopeless. What's the point of competing in a commission contest if you have to compete against a store in Hawaii who gets 5x the customers?? It's all a joke. Don't work for this company if you are looking for a real job. They will hire almost anyone. They will hire 20 year olds who've never had a job because they know kids will put up with this kind of disrespect. These kinds of jobs are taking advantage of a bad economy and desperate people. I eventually sabotaged my employment with them because I could no longer stand to listen to my boss make threats and lie to me. Sure I had previous managers who were nice but that didn't make up for the rest of the negatives.

Cons

1. Lack of overall management. 2. No real hands on training, it's all mostly learn-it-yourself or be fired. 3. The turnover is ridiculous. No one stays for very long. 4. Limited hours and demands you have open availability but will not let you have a second job. 5. Pays very little and comission is based on hours you worked. So you can sell a lot and still make very little in return. 6. You are required to be a part of a group-chat and pay attention to that group chat at all times, even when you're not on the clock.
