Pros
The ability to be on different teams with many different companies, learning multiple skills that can help accelerate a career in sales and marketing.
Cons
Team's change hands and the staying power does not always have longevity, but is still a great place to get a good 3 or 4 years of great experience.

Pros
Good Vacation Benefits. Easy place to work
Cons
Not good pay, to much upper management eats all the profit or chance for pay raises. Poor training
Advice to Management
Get rid of half of your management. They don't do anything and take all the profit to pay the real people who work. Quit hiring so many inexperienced people.

Pros
Opportunity for entry level sales experience
Cons
Max salaries won't support a family. Very flat organization, no movement past low level management.
Advice to Management
Value professional experience gained outside of the walls of Marketstar. Channel sales is NOT rocket science, but to Marketstar executives the only value recognized is what you have done inside their organization. You are missing talent, by simply refusing to look.

Pros
Pretty chill environment, decently priced snacks. Good flexibility. Laptops provided. Managers are cool. Holidays payed off and a few other days for service and movies.
Cons
If you’re looking for job security or a promotion path I’d look elsewhere. None of their contracts are guaranteed to last. Seems like companies are coming and going. They seem to just move reps from one team to another. Pretty much making you start over again. I have no expectations from marketstar and don’t expect anything anytime soon. I don’t see a real career blossoming here. Honestly just try to work for the company who’s team you are already on. No incentive to push more product for your team. Capped commission.
Advice to Management
On boarding process is very shaky. A lot of problems when we first started. Fix it.

Pros
Family friendly, Pretty good benefits, good place to launch a career.
Cons
Low pay. Since they work as a SaaS (sales as a service) everything is on contract and pay is way lower than average.
Advice to Management
work on getting pay in line! and quit with advancing only younger people to management. Those of us with a work history can be better managers in most cases!!!

Pros
great trainers and teammates who generally care about the work they're doing
Cons
worked here for a few yrs, they treat people like expendable components - warm bodies to be thrown about when they have projects available. Otherwise you're an expense they don't care about no matter what you've done for/with them over the years.
Advice to Management
your favoritism of certain employees who haven't grown in 15 yrs is apparent and a cause for concern to everyone from staff to clients. Focus on employee development instead of just speaking about it
